Beautiful Wall Art on a Budget
Spring has sprung! This is when folks throw open their windows, invite fresh air in, and go room to room to chase the dust bunnies out. For those considering a fresh look for their home or office decor, Anderson Design Group offers some great ways to decorate rooms on a budget.
But before we get started, get inspired with this slideshow featuring all the beautiful ways our customers decorate with ADG art!
Vintage Wall Art Without the Vintage Price Tag!
ADG’s Founder and Creative Director, Joel Anderson, said it best:
“We get dreamy-eyed when it comes to vintage poster design. There’s something about that romantic, hand-illustrated style that strikes a chord in us, pushing us to explore and practice our craft as graphic artists. With over 3,000 designs and counting, we are continuing the grand tradition of the Golden Age of Poster Art for a whole new generation."
ADG celebrates vintage poster art, retro design, 20th-century illustration, and every style in between (mod art, Art Deco, classic illustrations). These beautiful art styles came from the late 19th and early-to-mid 20th centuries, and ADG is all about keeping those traditions alive in an age when art styles change as fast as the seasons.
While ADG’s original poster art looks much like the now-century-old original vintage poster art that celebrated travel, national parks, and all things Americana, ADG art is available at a fraction of the cost! With any of our over 3,000 poster designs across more than three dozen original art collections, you can decorate your entire home with vintage-styled art at a fraction of the cost of sourcing 100-year-old art from galleries and auctions.
Ways to Decorate with Budget Art
There are lots of ways to decorate with ADG art. The following are just a few of our favorites:
ADG’s art prints start at just $21.99, with six size options, including standard frame sizes. Further, ADG provides an option for you to receive the art framed or unframed, giving you even more versatility in how you decorate.
Looking for a more traditional, classic art look? Any of ADG’s over 3,000 original illustrations are also available for printing on stretched canvases, with each art piece being carefully made to order by our American vendor partners. These beauties are made-to-order with expert, custom craftsmanship. Printed on high-quality canvas material, this frameless wall decor option looks gorgeous with any of our classic designs printed on it. ADG’s vintage canvas art starts at just $59.99, and four size options are available. Best of all, these beauties are absolutely hassle-free. All you need to install them is a hammer, a nail, and an art-starved wall!
Interested in a more rustic, retro art design? ADG’s metal signs start at just $52.99 and are available in three size options. The signs are printed with weatherproof inks on rust-resistant tin. A hole is drilled into each corner to make hanging a cinch. The illustrated metal signs look like vintage designs from the early 20th century, yet they are all original creations that ADG has made using the highest quality printing techniques from the modern age, I.e., state-of-the-art techniques that deliver deep, rich color on premium coated steel.
Short on space but still hoping to decorate with budget art this spring? A recent innovation from the ADG masterminds is the mini canvas option, at either 5”x7” for just $22.99 or 8”x10” for just $29.99. These beauties are perfect for little spaces like desks, mantels, countertops, vanities, windowsills, or shelves. Our easel-backed mini canvases can help you make a big statement in a small space! Made by the same American craftspeople who make our large canvases, these little gems are carefully hand-crafted by master artisans and are made to order.
For those who want to enjoy vintage poster art while corresponding with a family member, close friend, or pen pal, ADG has that covered, too! Any of the studio’s original illustrations and poster designs are available as notecards or postcards. These beautiful folded notecards and vintage-styled postcards are great for sharing with a pen pal. Art postcards and colorful notecards are also ideal for making fun little home decor options when space is tight, especially if one has a love for vintage postcard art.
ADG Specializes in Affordable Wall Art
In addition to producing quality art that people can afford, ADG goes a step further in making the studio’s art designs accessible by offering the now widely popular Scratch-N-Dent Sale, an annual event. The sale includes coveted bargain bundles of “mystery mix” art prints!
Just last week, ADG retail and wholesale director Nathan Anderson announced the start of this year’s Scratch-N-Dent Sale:
“Our annual scratch-n-dent sale is back! We have rescued a few books and calendars from the cold hard world... Yes, they may be less-than-perfect but they are eager to please and are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face (especially since they’re priced at 50% to 80% off). Be a rescue reader today & feel good about keeping one less book (or poster) out of the recycle bin.”
In addition to the annual Scratch-N-Dent sale, ADG always keeps a Bargain Bin around, a frequently updated assortment of popular items that need a good home. However, once the beautiful designs in the bin sell out, they won’t be available at those low prices again, so if there's something in the bin that catches your eye, get it fast!
Pick Up Affordable Home Decor for the Workplace, Vacation Home, or Rental
ADG art looks good on any wall. Many customers choose original poster art for their homes and workplaces, vacation homes, short-term rentals, and mother-in-law suites. (For inspiration, the Anderson family decorated their vacation home in Destin, Florida, with original designs from the Coastal Collection, an instant favorite for turning any space into a beach-styled paradise).
Once your own home has been fully decorated, be sure to show some wall art love to the vacation home, short-term rental, workplace, or accessory dwelling!
And Don’t Forget to Share the Love!
Rather than paying hundreds (or thousands) of dollars for one piece of art, ADG provides home decor options where-in one can decorate their entire house for what it might cost to purchase one art piece from a gallery or exhibit. On top of that, the ethos of ADG is all about giving back. Again quoting Joel:
“As a family business rooted in Nashville, Tennessee, it is our pleasure to donate travel posters and books to local charities who sell them at silent auctions to raise funds for their ongoing work. It is our privilege to donate 10% of our annual profits to a number of non-profit organizations, including the National Park Foundation. Proceeds from your purchases improve the lives of battered women, Parkinson's research, nature-lovers, and students who want to pursue a career in the visual arts.”
The spring months are the perfect time to hit the reset button as people emerge from winter. This is a period when the days are longer, the air is warmer, and the sun becomes a frequent friend again. We hope you find some beautiful designs in our poster art collections that will, in turn, find a home on your wall. And as you’re shopping, if you see something a loved one or friend might enjoy, don’t forget to share the love! We’re currently offering free shipping on all orders over $49.
Until next time,
