8 Totally Luxe Unconventional Wall Art Finds, Starting at $17
Curating art for your home can be tricky and expensive. How many framed posters are too much? Does the Van Gogh rendition from the paint and sip class you took eons ago good enough to prop on the living room wall?
Beyond conventional picks such as framed pictures, prints, and paintings, there are tons of options out there that you wouldn’t necessarily categorize as art, but do a good job of dressing up walls and infusing warmth and personality into a space. Even better? They are absolutely affordable. From delicate wire sculptures to peelable murals (such a great invention for renters!), to vibrant foliage—when it comes to picking non-traditional art for your home, the sky is truly the limit. Here are eight of our favorite picks.
Bonjour Wire Script Sculpture
The delicate wire sculpture is such a whimsical addition to an entryway, above a buffet table, bar cart or just added to an existing gallery wall. We love the delicateness and romantic vibe of the sculpture.
