Art Lovers | 13 June 2023

Buying art online can be a great way to find unique pieces that fit perfectly into your home. But it can also be daunting if you’re not sure where to start.

Fortunately, here at Art Lovers Australia our online gallery features thousands of original works of art from hundreds of Australian artists. Making buying art online is easy.

Here are seven key tips for finding the perfect artwork for you:

1. Know what you’re looking for

Before diving into an online art gallery, think about the type of artwork that appeals to you and your personal style. It can also be useful to consider where the piece will fit in from a practical perspective. Art Lovers Australia makes it easy to filter search results by theme, media, colour, price, size and orientation, so you can quickly narrow down your selection.

2. Measure

Measure the area in which you plan to hang your art, so you know exactly what size of artwork will fit into the space without being too large or small.

6. Embrace the technology

Take the guess work out by using Art Lovers Australia’s augmented reality feature, Hoverlay, to test how the artwork will look in your space. This is a great way to ensure that you are getting the right size and style of artwork for your needs by being able to preview how it will look in the space and with your décor.

7. Consider if you need framing

While some artworks come with frames already in place, many don’t…and some probably don’t need a frame. Numerous artworks on site offer a framing option from our partners at Mobile Framing. Because we realise when buying an artwork, a frame can play an important role in that artwork fitting nicely into your space.

So if you’re looking to buy art online, Art Lovers Australia is the perfect place to find a unique and special piece of artwork that speaks to your style and personality. With these seven tips, you’ll be sure to find the artwork that best suits your home and lifestyle.
