Printable Art Downlads
I’ve been in the mood to refresh all of my art around the apartment lately, but art can be so expensive! So I have a budget-friendly option that I’m loving — digital download art. It’s the perfect way to swap out your art regularly, and have a vintage look without the cost. You can find so many digital downloads on Etsy, from modern art options to vintage oil paintings. There are so many gorgeous options for every style! I rounded up a few of my favorites below, and included links to the ones that I ordered and framed in my bedroom. Happy styling!
For my bedroom I opted for a more pink option (since I’ve been doing lots of pinks and greens in the space lately) with this pink portrait of a woman, and then layered that with this cool black and white palm tree sketch. I love the combination of the two and how the neutral black and white really makes the pink pop. It was so easy to order these and frame them in some frames I already had at home. My total cost to print the two pieces of art was under $50 and it totally transformed the space!
Where Should I Print the Art?
If you have a printer at home, you can easily print your digital downloads that way. However, for the best results, I recommend having your art printed professionally to ensure top quality and longevity. For budget-friendly printing options, consider popular stores like Michaels, Staples, or CVS. If you’re looking for higher quality printing, you might want to check out specialized services such as Artifact Uprising, Samy’s Prints, Persnickety Prints, Mpix Photo Lab, or Framebridge.
The type of paper you choose also plays a crucial role in the final outcome. For home printing, opt for cardstock or matte/satin-finish photo paper. At office-supply stores, matte cardstock and photo paper with a matte or satin finish work well. Photo companies can provide options like matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss-finish photo paper, while fine-art printing companies can elevate your prints with heavyweight matte, giclee paper, or even rolled canvas for a sophisticated touch.
