I need to find some art prints to frame and decorate my new house and can’t find any. Tend to prefer neutral decor and most of my art is William Morris posters but I’d like to branch out. Can you share some art prints you like to hopefully get me out of my slump?

Can you go to a local art fair/ craft fair?
Or wait for a degree show/ end of year show at a college- there you'd be able to get an interesting range of work- limited editions too.

If you like Morris, do you know the other pre Raphaelites? That might be a place to start, Google images is your friend. Personally I love Burne Jones, he is a bit freer than Morris, and with wonderful colour sense. You might like Eric Ravilious ( I don’t know what I think this but….

If you like William Morris, the Pre Raphaelites are a good suggestion or Art Nouveau artists - Klimt, Schiele,Mucha, Toulouse-Lautrec, Beardsley, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. There are lots of Art Nouveau advertising posters sold as prints.

FY have a extensive range of prints. They can frame your print too. I have a few prints from them. Service is really good too 👍🏼

Ive looked up Eric Ravilious and his art definitely speaks to me!

Thanks everyone! Followed your advice and just trawled through the various websites you recommended and allowed myself to be led down a rabbit warren. My search reminded me that I love landscapes, still life’s and art focussed around fruit and flowers (🤷‍♀️). I’ve ended up ordering 2 prints, one a Monet and another by Gauguin. Quite traditional but both speak to me ☺️

Came across this piece whilst trawling House & Garden and have become obsessed with it! The house was designed by an interior designer who will not disclose the artist and a reverse image search hasn’t helped. Does anyone either know the artist or can describe what type of art this is so I can search for similar? The more you look at it the more you see beyond the man on horseback!

No idea. The colours and composition, if not the style, reminds me of Les Demoiselles d’Avignon by Picasso though. The horse looks like a Quentin Blake illustration 😂

I have some prints from the Croatian Museum of naive art in Zagreb. They're quite unusual and different. I can't find the website that might sell them online as ds brought them back for me.

Here's the website, but I think it's in Croatian.

HMNU - Hrvatski muzej naivne umjetnosti

the art you saw in the H&G magazine is very similar to art by Tomo Campbell, a piece named everyone knows.
Maybe it was a bespoke piece by the artist? Google his work and see what you think, he’s on insta too.
