Ok ok, I admit it – I have commitment issues when it comes to art. It takes me a while to adopt new wall decor because I’m always expecting to find something I love even more next time I go shopping. Yeah, I know this is kind of silly, and it’s not thaaat hard to swap out decor accents like wall art, but when you commit to a color scheme, or spend a chunk of money on a nice art piece, there is always a chance you may not love it forever….then what?
So with that said, my new favorite way to fill in some lonely hallways and sad corners is by purchasing art prints in standard sizes, and showcasing them in affordable frames (hello Amazon Basics!!). It could not be easier to spruce up your home in a jiffy – and totally within a modest budget!
Here are some of my favorite print / frame combinations that will hopefully inspire you to welcome a little art into your home or office space.

Tip #1: Find an Anchor
Not literally (unless you like anchors of course) – but you may find it helpful, and visually pleasing, to have a style “anchor” of sorts. The perfect example of an anchor is a tray. A beautiful tray will visually and literally “anchor” your other decorative items into a neat grouping or focal area. It will help make your decor look intentional instead of cluttered.
Groupings of three items are very pleasing to the human eye. One of the most common design “rules” you will see in decor is to use groupings of three (or at the very least an odd number). They don’t have to be three of the same exact thing, but think in terms of clusters of three. For example: a candle, a vase, and a trinket dish; or a frame, a figurine, and a plant.
It’s a great idea to keep in mind visual “balance” any time you are decorating. It’s not a hard and fast rule, as exceptions may apply, but in general it’s a helpful guideline. Try to avoid having a bunch of the same sized objects, or lopsided arrangements. Balance tall narrow items with smaller or shorter things, for example – like a tall vase, matched with a stack of books topped with a pretty bowl. In many of the examples to follow, you will notice why balance matters.
Examples:
Here are some beautiful examples for inspiration. It doesn’t have to be hard, or expensive, to style a coffee table. Often you can shop in your own home and find a few things that look nice together. As I look around me right now, I see an orchid I can borrow from the kitchen, a candle from the dining room, and a lovely small picture frame on a shelf. I could grab a tray (anchor) and boom, my coffee table looks polished and presentable.
A lovely little succulent, dried greenery, or a live plant all add the organic texture and visual that can complete any arrangement. Fresh flowers are pretty much always a great design choice, and they can add so much emotional value to a room. Whenever possible, add plants in an appropriate scale – you can’t go wrong! [notice how every example above uses plants / flowers / greenery!]
