    Cheapish Artwork?

    DH & I are 75% the way through renovating our house. We have almost finished our bathrooms, so it's time to pretty them up as they are quite bare!

    We have 1 wall in each bathroom that I want some form of artwork on but am after something cheapish but effective. We have white, brown, tan & blue in the bathroom. Think kind of beachy style. So am wondering if you have any special places you find cool artwork etc that you could recommend to me?! I'm in Victoria if that helps. I'm happy to buy online also!

    TIA

    Depends when you want to buy the art but consider the affordable art fair which ran in Melbourne annually when I lived there. Not sure of the dates though.

    Maybe try etsy for something a bit quirky/beachy/Hamptonsish? Or commission me to do one - I'm good but then again not cheap

    Etsy, Red Bubble, Society 6 (Free shipping worldwide this weekend) - depends on what size and what type of thing you are after - I have always wondered what would work best in a bathroom with humidity, condensation etc. Have seen people hanging fabric in their bathrooms for decor which can look great and is quite a cheap way of doing it - Spoonflower has some great designs, or you could create your own.

    Enchanted if you are into photos and you or your hubby are into taking photos you can always have some of your own beautiful or interesting photos enlarge and printed to canvas.

    Another option is framing beautiful papers or printed fabrics or wallpaper .

    I know you said art...but I've just gotten a few B&W pics of the kids in the bath framed, looks very effective
