Where To Buy Prints Online For Your Walls
When we’re spending more time indoors than ever (unless of course you’re a key worker or a medical professional), it’s not surprising that many of us are staring at the walls and finding them wanting. We’re reevaluating our home spaces, making way for clutter and reconsidering how we can make our homes more, well, homey.
One of the easiest and most visually exciting ways to personalise your space is with a gallery wall. Thanks to the magic of Command strips, attaching things to your wall is easier than ever (and without the risk of losing your deposit because of Blu Tack or nails). All you have to do is find the best prints to bring together.
With that in mind, we’ve pulled together (some of) our favourite places to buy pieces for your gallery wall — places which support the artists directly, which support charity or which simply stock prints you wouldn’t find anywhere else. Whether it’s photography, illustration, typography or all of the above, we’ve got you covered.
Platform LDN x Black Lives Matter
For a limited time only Platform LDN have set up a site selling art prints donating all profits to selected charities supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.reached out to artists within their local community and asked them to donate one art print to be part of the collective print sale.
