Art Finder brings a “It’s a Small World” vibe that we appreciate. The site features a global selection of artists in an eclectic array of categories, from collage and printmaking to painting and photography. The art is also categorized by budget and offers shoppers a crash course in artistic aesthetics under its “Inspiration” tab. Whether you want an abstract grunge collage for the foyer or a folk art-esque waterfront painting, Art Finder has you covered.

Another titan of mid-century modern design, Design Within Reach—or, DRW, as our lower back tattoo reads—carries an impressive selection of over one-hundred (mostly) MCM-inspired furniture and decor brands, including HAY’s Scandi patio furniture, Breuer’s Cesca chairs, Vitra’s Eames Elephant, and more. The site’s wall art section is filled with designer poster reproductions that are perfect for the graphic designer in your life and moodier limited-edition photography prints by artists such as Cas Friese.

Peruse the site with styles such as Scandinavian minimalism, Realism, typography, and black-and-white photography, or start your journey by selecting your frame first or browsing through the site’s catalog of artists.
Best for: One-of-a-kind paintings, prints, and antiques.

Best for: Exhibition prints and posters from established and emerging artists.
