Museum-worthy works within budgetThe art collection in Talia Mayden’s Brooklyn Heights apartment ranges from friends’ sketches to lucky street finds. Some pieces play a functional role in the room’s design: A Lonnie Leonard painting on the bookshelf hides board games, a camera bag, and other items Mayden prefers to keep out of sight.Photo: Nick GlimenakisArt can be the last accent we consider when renovating a space, yet it often ties an entire room together. We get it: Buying affordable art online can be a daunting task, especially if it’s your first time. The only real requirement is that you like looking at it—and that makes choosing one piece from the thousands available online even harder. Is it an original painting that your gallery wall is missing, or is it a limited-edition print? Do you shop by artist, medium, color—or simply wait until something stops you mid-scroll? Will you know if you’ve found the one when you see it?Thankfully, you don’t need to have all those answers before you start looking. We’ve combed digital galleries, museum shops, independent marketplaces, and some of our favorite home retailers to find the best places to buy affordable art online. Below, you’ll also find answers to some of the questions that arise when you’re on your art hunt: what to consider before investing in art, how to frame it, and where to shop when you’d rather see a piece in person first. Whether you land on an original, a giclée print, a risograph, or something you haven’t discovered yet, there’s no wrong way to start collecting.Our Top Picks for the Best Affordable ArtFor Originals: ArtfinderPaesaggio 11 Gouache Painting by Giuliano MonechiRead moreFor Vintage: 1stDibs"Maravillas con Variaciones Acrosticas (No 22)" Lithograph by Joan MiróRead moreFor Large-Scale Art: Great Big Canvas"Cornflowers and Kitchen Garden" by Timothy EastonRead moreArtfinder"Linear Forms VI" Screenprint by Richard MarsdenPaesaggio 11 Gouache Painting by Giuliano MonechiPrices start at: $100Founded in London in 2011, Artfinder is an online marketplace for original pieces of art from around the globe.

We were also delighted to find some one-of-a-kind mixed media works in the mix—like Halley’s Comet by Sarah Short, a made-to-order collage fashioned together with paper, cloth, and recycled book covers. For something more two-dimensional, we’d place Gold Tower by Stephanie Dennis in a spot where the sun hits so it can really give off a subtle glow on your wall.West Elm"Calming Waves" by Oliver GalRoving Wall Hanging by SunwovenPrices start at: $25West Elm is a destination for all things tasteful: Furniture, rugs, lighting, home decor, and more.

Butterflies Study IMcGee & Co. Etched BrunchPrices start at: $50Contemporary traditionalist Shea McGee’s McGee & Co. has a surprisingly robust art curation with close to 500 works to thumb through. Playful watercolor works are mixed in with moody countryside landscapes, but we think it’s the options with dynamic matting that will really speak to collectors looking for something atypical. Larger works (50” wide and up) as well as triptych sets are also worth a glance if you’re looking to make an oversized statement.Serena & LilyCinnamon by Shannon CoppageNautical Summer by Kate ComenPrices start at: $150The art section of Serena & Lily is full of watercolor (or watercolor-inspired) artwork—perfect for a sunroom, nursery, or any place that needs a little boost in the “peaceful” department.

Take these sconce-like concrete decor panels: The second you turn off the lights, they quietly pop from the wall. The three-dimensional design brings unexpected depth to your drab gallery wall while remaining neutral enough to pair with any color scheme.Herman MillerNelson Pop Art Blue and Black PosterExercise PosterPrices start at: $200Herman Miller is famed for its office chairs and midcentury-modern furniture, but the brand also has a unique selection home decor, including contemporary prints and posters.

Perfect for collectors with more modern sensibilities, these textured pieces are preset in minimal wood framing that make works look like you stole them right off the walls at the MoMA. Priced under $75, the coordinating two-piece set might just be the best bargain on this list.One King’s LaneThrough the PastureAqua Mazes by Christopher KnightPrices start at: $75Like West Elm, we all know and love One King’s Lane for their luxe furniture selection, but the classy retailer also has an equally lovely selection of art.

From prints featuring everyday things—like fish—to Slim Aarons pieces, it’s a total grab bag (in the best way).What should you consider when investing in art?The first thing you should do is determine what your budget is, of course, and then decide what size art you’re looking for. Rooms with low ceiling heights can benefit from a large-format print that takes up a ton of space—it really makes a statement. Maybe a gallery wall is more your speed. This option allows you to mix and match art styles: photos, paintings, prints, and multimedia art. Throw in a photo print of your own and you have something completely unique to your space.Another thing to keep in mind is your framing strategy. Some of the above online art stores offer matching frames with added costs, or frames that perfectly fit the size of art you’re about to purchase. You can also go rogue and check out your local thrift store for a one-of-a-kind art piece. The frame can be just as much a part of the art as, well, the art itself.What if I want to buy art offline?For NYC shoppers, this couldn’t be easier—with a plethora of art fairs year-round, finding the right art for your space is only a subway ride away, whether you’re a collector-type looking for fresh talent, a decorator looking for the perfect piece, or someone doing a regular reno on your space, hoping to throw some affordable artwork up on your walls before you start clawing at the wallpaper in frustration. The Armory Show is like the Super Bowl, but for art fairs, and The Affordable Art Fair is always worth an afternoon.ArtForum’s Art Guide is a great resource for finding fairs and art events in your area, NYC or otherwise.
