I love an art-filled home. There’s nothing better than stepping inside a space to discover a thoughtfully-curated array of pieces that each tell a story. Sprinkled down a hallway or positioned among complementary pieces, affordable art prints can add character to any room with little effort.
I know the struggle well: you’ve just moved into a new home or are looking to transform your apartment, and conversation-starting art is a priority. But things get really pricy, really fast. A few of my favorite thrifty ways to add art to my home are by hunting down estate sale finds, getting my hands messy creating art myself, or browsing all the best affordable art prints. I love shopping for prints because you’re often supporting small independent artists, all without dropping a ton of cash.
While the gallery wall trend may be on its way out, timeless art is forever. With that design truth in mind, we rounded up the best affordable art prints from our favorite online home stores. So cozy up with a cup of tea or your favorite warm-weather drink, take a seat, and get to scrolling. Is there anything better than shopping for art from your couch?

A favorite among our team for everything from e-vites to Christmas cards. Minted is also an amazing spot to buy original art online from a variety of independent artists. You’ll find plenty of abstract watercolor pieces and modern photography.
Birthday Bouquet by Cyrille Gulassa
The dreamiest hues, all in one cohesive palette. I love the layers of texture and swirls of color this piece incorporates. It’s dramatic, but approachable—as all the best prints should be.
Rustic Geometry 2 by Iveta Angelova
The second piece in a series of three, this print combines starkly geometric shapes that are warmed by desert-inspired colors. If your style is less terracotta and more pastel-obsessed, you can also choose from six colorways.
I love Cézanne’s series of overturned baskets of oranges, the citrus tumbling beautifully across linen tablecloths. But if you can’t shell out for a post-impressionist painter’s originals (relatable), this stunning print isn’t just a good alternative—it’s a unique, statement-making piece that’ll add interest and depth to any wall.
Minimalist but playful, this abstract acrylic painting proves that a neutral color palette can create a major impact in modern and traditional spaces alike.

Not gonna lie—I clicked “add to cart” immediately when I came across this print during my art-hunting scroll. Whether you opt for a frame or hang it without, it’ll imbue your space with a gorgeous vintage feel.
Juli-Julia Matisse Abstract Color Leaf Poster Art Print
I clearly have a thing for Matisse, but really, who doesn’t? I love the squiggly shapes that add a little whimsy and charm to any wall. Personally, I’m thinking of hanging it alongside other abstract pieces above my bed. Statement, made.

Anthropologie
Anthropologie’s wall art selection is fun to just peruse! Think classic painting-esque pieces set in beautiful frames. And if you’re in the mood for a little more texture, their decorative baskets, woven wall hangings, tapestries, and mirrors always deliver.
A slightly worn finish gives this tapestry a well-loved feel. If you’re looking to soften up a modern-leaning environment, this floral piece is your answer.
Cute, quirky, and with a one-of-a-kind feel, this ink print delivers all the charm. Memphis-based artist Katherine George is passionate about exploring femininity and self-expression through her pieces, and that focus is clearly expressed in this captivating work.
Swedish artist Petra Borner takes the classic garden print and turns it on its head, still maintaining a romantic design while updating florals with dark accents of color. I love the idea of arranging this collection of 20 prints in a cohesive grid in an office or living room.
These sweet nature-inspired prints combine fir wood and paper for a soft and subtle touch to a small bathroom or cozy corner.

Neutrals for the win! Calming blues and grays are applied in thick brushstrokes and accented by light touches of yellow and white, creating a strikingly contemporary work of art.
Calatheas By Bria Nicole Framed Canvas Wall Art
If your plant obsession knows no bounds, this is the piece to purchase. It’s simple but stunning and is infused with bohemian touches that are made modern with a pop of pink.
Society 6

Matisse Cut Outs Exhibition Poster
Matisse’s cut-outs are considered to be some of his most career-defining works. Fun fact: When the artist fell ill later in life and could no longer paint, he set to making collages with a pair of scissors and colored paper. With that knowledge in mind, there’s nothing keeping you from proudly displaying this pastel dream in your home.
