Larger Art Print Resources

[ssmjlm]

Ok, over the weekend we worked on E's room a bit more and she would like to change out the artwork over her dresser. This is a tween, so her tastes are going to change, so I'm trying to be a bit budget conscious. It's a 18x24 frame.

We looked at Mint, but the website seemed super slow/glitchy on her chromebook and my laptop.

Etsy was a lot, so any recommended stores are welcome.

Art.com didn't have the size we need.

Am I missing any other reputable sites?

Try Society6. Often their artists create flat "wrapping papers" that are really cool and very affordable at larger print sizes.

Check out wallpaper samples or remnants. You can usually get them for free from local stores, and some places sell them online for cheap.

I thought this was going to be large print text like books or something you read, lol.

OP I assume you've tried Facebook buy-nothing groups if you know what you're looking for. I've seen folks on here say they use that to de-clutter, so you might be able to get something for cheap since you're going to replace it soon enough.

I did a large collage print with smaller photos when I needed something this size. I downloaded Lego patent art and made a big Lego poster. Through Walmart.

Check out local consignment stores and such. My tween opted for a set from iKea so that was affordable

Second IKEA - they have some neat prints!

My kid is obsessed with Displates - but you don't need a frame for them.

Juniper Print Shop has lots of options/sizes. What's style are you looking for?

Ikea or world market.

Another idea is to find a fabric print she likes, and frame it.

I like Urban Garden Prints but it just depends what she's into.

Have you looked at Juniper Print Shop? They have large scale prints that fit into an ikea poster frame. We have a big print in our living room and really like it!

She’s 10 and obsessed with purple. So no clue what she’ll pick.


Has Juniper’s inventory gotten better? I looked there before and it was overly photoshopped “artistic” prints. I was a little taken aback because I used to like the designer.

I'd search Society6 by color.
society6.com/search?q=&filter=color_purple,product_prints&sort=best_match

society6.com/search?q=&filter=color_purple,product_prints,keyword_kids&sort=best_match

Eh, not sure. It's not my style at all. The kids section doesn't seem too bad?

I framed some palm tree wallpaper on my walls at one point using giant frames from Ikea - quite a bit bigger than 18x24. While it wasn't $$$, was more than $50.

Do you have an At Home store near you? Their regular prices are reasonable and clearance is often dirt cheap. I used a lot there as basically a holding place, but some of it is still in use years later.

They are mostly canvas, but there are other wall art things too.

This is what I was going to recommend.

I also think Mint is a good option and haven't had issues with their site.

I would probably buy a digital print on etsy and print it on mpix, which is what I did for our guest room when I wanted a poster size print. At the time I think it was $25 to print a 16x20

Thanks all! She found something on society 6 that's reasonable, plus they had a coupon.
