13 Places to Buy Art That Is Very Cool and Not Lame at All

Remember when you thought that buying a tapestry was the pinnacle of elevated home decor? That you, Nate Berkus, had done what no person had done before and figured out how to decorate the barren wall above your couch with as little money and effort as humanly possible? What's that? You can remember because you can still see it? Rip it off, get it out, burn it down.

It is time to invest in wall art that is actually good. Art with taste and perspective and not one singular tassel. And buying art—and buying "art"—online is much more enjoyable than shopping in person. One, there are a lot of options, and you can sift through without the weight of the world in some poor store employee's eyes watching you. Judging you. Two, you can explore different media, shapes, sizes, and styles without committing to any. Or committing to a bunch and not knowing what to do with them. Either way.

You can start small with prints that come cheap, depending on where you look. We love a Society6 or Etsy for starter wall art. And you can add to that portfolio as quickly or expensively as you'd like. There are high-quality prints of photography, sketches, and paintings. There are mixed media pieces, which you can get in their original form or as a copy. There are shops that will frame the art for you. Here are 13 of the coolest places to buy all types of wall art online.
