Ideas for decorating on a budget – Cheap wall art

We all know that wall art is essential to adding colour and warmth to your home.  Essential to transforming your house into a home, right!  But what can you do if your budget is already stretched and just won’t stretch any further.  Well fear not – there are many ideas for cheap wall art that will add style to your home without breaking the bank.

Posters – the student standard in cheap wall art

Think of posters as your basic when looking for cheap wall art.  With today’s printing technology there are loads of really good reproductions available.  Add a basic frame from your local art supplier, hang, and wow. Wall art that no one will ever guess is really cheap wall art.  For added effect think about a grouping of posters around a similar theme.

Looking for cheap wall art that is a little more original?

Don’t know what to do with that wonderful piece of fabric you just had to buy on your last trip to Morocco, India, Indonesia, Ghana or wherever.  Trim and hem the edges and hang on your wall.  No one will ever guess that this was a cheap wall art and decor option and you will never forget that fabulous holiday either.  Other ideas for cheap wall art could include collections of found objects, spray-painted old vinyl records, baskets, even collages of autumn leaves.  Imagination, imagination, imagination!

Photographs the old stand-by in cheap wall art

So much can be done with photographs.  Framed collections are fabulous.  But if even framing is beyond your cheap wall art and decor budget, think about hanging a piece of wire from one side of the wall to the other.  Use miniature pegs to hang the photographs, reminiscent of photographs drying in a darkroom of old.
