- 1). Browse your local discount family store for pictures and paintings. Many multi-prupose stores such as Wal-Mart or Big Lots carry canvas-like paintings which can look expensive but cost as little as $10. For variety, try to get them in different sizes.
- 2). Checking your local flea market can also bring up a few good finds. Be mindful to steer clear of things that look "flea-market" like, such as pictures of flowers or popular reprints. Finding something that looks different is key and it should also run you less than $25, even less if you choose an unframed piece.
- 3). Scour local websites for yard sales in upscale neighborhoods or gated communities. These yard sales can produce nice quality pieces that they have no use for anymore.
- 4). Bid and buy on websites that may offer some discount pieces. Remember to have extra care while shipping since many pieces are fragile.
- 5). Browse furniture and home stores which may be going out of business or getting in new inventory. After a while, since few people buy the actual art to match their furniture sets, these can go on sale for as much as 50 percent off.
- 6). Check unsuspecting places such as poster websites and movie rental stores that sell movie paraphernalia.Framing an elegant movie poster with the right colors can bring class to a room if done tastefully.
