Recession Proof Your Art Collection with Contemporary Art Posters
Art is a very valuable commodity. It appreciates in value, can become an heirloom item, and lifts the spirit every time you enter a room and see your personally selected artwork decorating your home. Unfortunately, artwork from leading artists can be very pricey. If you desire to add high profile artwork to your décor but want to stay within your budget, consider contemporary art posters.
Most famous works of art and even artwork from lesser known artists are available as contemporary art posters. You can find contemporary art posters at big box retail stores such as Wal Mart, home décor boutiques, online and at novelty shops.
Does the thought of hanging contemporary art posters on your walls bring back days of living in a college dorm or in a bachelor/bachelorette pad? Do not worry – there are three ways you can transform your posters into resembling true art.
1. Professional Framing: If you let your framer know the size, colors, and general layout of the room in which your contemporary art poster will reside, he or she can mat and frame your poster so it blends in seamlessly with your décor. A professional framer will also pick up on the subtle colors and other nuances in your poster and take these into consideration when picking out mats and a frame. The result is a gorgeous custom piece that fits perfectly into your room and your budget.
2. Transfer to canvas: Select framers can transfer a poster to a canvas-like material by using a special liquid solution. This takes your contemporary art posters from flat, glossy papers to a textured finish that very closely resembles a painting. The resulting canvas can be framed or stretched over a hidden frame depending on how you want it to look on your wall.
3. DIY framing: Most big box retailers carry a selection of frames and mats that you can co-ordinate to your living space. If you do not have a natural Martha Stewart aptitude, you can find instructions and inspiration for the DIY framer online or at your local library.
These are three ways you can use contemporary art posters to enjoy fine works of art, but at a fraction of the price. There is no need to let your budget restrict you from enjoying artwork.
