Sometimes sending someone a housewarming present can be a bit of a challenge. Most wonder if they should go with something practical or a luxury item. Some couples love glamour or having pieces worthy of conversation throughout the home, and the artwork is no exception. If the couple is not terribly discriminating, they are likely to appreciate a reproductive work from an affordable fine art and prints retailer that believes in quality and outstanding service.
For those in doubt, it may help to look at the decor of their previous home. Make a mental note about any art hanging on the walls and the style. Some people like classic artist reprints like Monet, Van Gogh or even Warhol. Others would rather go with famous photographer poster reprints like Robert Mapplethorpe or Herb Ritts.
When choosing a gift for someone else, if their personal taste is uncertain, going with their interests may be a good start. A recipient that has a quirky side and spends a lot of time cooking may appreciate the Soup Can by Andy Warhol. Another person who has culinary skills but with an earthy nature may want something that is original.
While amateur art lovers may be impressed by a vast selection of works found online, they should not rush to make a purchase. Art and photographic images have great value but there are only a handful of retailers that do the originals justice. The other who offer insanely low prices usually send something that looks as if it were photocopied at an office supply store.
Another way to decorate is to use monochromatic images with a room painted in a bright color. Window treatments, furniture, and flooring may be in matching or analogous colors but using vivid black and white photographs in poster form can bring a unique look to any space. Add in a few chrome accessories and one can have a look worthy of home decor books.
Sometimes the individual personality is a good indicator of what will be appreciated. For instance, those who appreciate urban culture may like a Basquiat print for the living room or if they are into the arts, a studio space. Giving something that may prove inspirational is probably one gift this type of person will love for a lifetime.
For those who are overwhelmed by the vast selection, some live and online retailers have people who can share some guidance without being too pushy. They may have some basic questions about the recipient and they may offer feedback about buying an oil paint reproduction or something on paper. It also helps to shop around and think about what took place.
When it comes to art, whether it be an original or reprint, cutting too many corners can certainly backfire. Even if a person is a novice when it comes to appreciating good design, something that is poorly copied will not be displayed in any home with taste. This is often the case with sellers that offer extremely low prices. Customer reviews are normally a strong indicator of what prospective buyers can look forward to when making a purchase.
