Bare wall minimalism is out. Prints with taste and perspective should cover your space. let anyone tell you that sandals aren’t a good call.
Remember when you thought that buying a tapestry was the pinnacle of elevated home decor? That you, Nate Berkus, had done what no person had done before and figured out how to decorate the barren wall above your couch with as little money and effort as humanly possible? What’s that? You can remember because you can still see it? Rip it off, get it out, burn it down.
It is time to invest in wall art that is actually good. Art with taste and perspective and not one singular tassel. And buying art—and buying “art”—online is much more enjoyable than shopping in person. One, there are a lot of options, and you can sift through without the weight of the world in some poor store employee’s eyes watching you. Judging you. Two, you can explore different media, shapes, sizes, and styles without committing to any. Or committing to a bunch and not knowing what to do with them. Either way.

There are mixed media pieces, which you can get in their original form or as a copy. There are shops that will frame the art for you.
