Classic landscape art is stunning and so on-trend, but it can be pricey. Learn how to get the same look for a fraction of the cost!
You've probably noticed the landscape art that seems to be everywhere these days. It's in every current designer's toolkit, and I think it's stunning.
You know the look: blues and greens in a landscape, usually without a mat, framed in a gorgeous brass frame. But truly, those pieces are kind of pricey. I've had my eye on a couple of them, but I've also been watching for cheaper options.
These are some of the ones that have caught my eye over the past few months.
The Splurge: Landscape Art I Love
If you're quick and snag some of the Studio McGee x Target collection art, you can get it for a pretty good price (under $20). But otherwise I see them selling for $100-$300+ and even more than $1,000!
I'm not against buying beautiful art, but I'll always look for something cheaper that looks just as good!
One day I was browsing Etsy and discovered a shop with gorgeous printable art that looks like it came straight from my grandma's basement. I'm pretty sure they're scans of originals, because many of them have the cracks and wear of an original in the digital file. (Edit in 2021: Their prices have climbed quite a bit since I first found them. But they're still less expensive than buying the art I shared above!)
I was so excited to have found these!

The Hunt: Cheap Brass Frame
Next, I went looking for an inexpensive brass frame, and I found one too! I'm sure I could have gone thrifting and found something old, but I don't have many good thrift stores near me, so I found one in a store instead!
This is the frame I used in my living room. If you use the mat, you can fit a 5×7 print. If you skip the mat, it becomes an 8×10 frame. They were about $6 each with a discount code, so I was pretty happy with them!
So for about $12, I put together a gorgeous 8 x 10 landscape art set that I loved! (Again, the prints have gone up since I did this, but it would still be under $40 to make this art trio. And that's pretty good!)
I chose 3 prints and framed them for my living room.
This little corner of the room needed some personality. I can see it from the kitchen while I'm washing dishes at the sink, so I'd been hunting for something small and cute for that spot. These are perfect, and I love how they pop against our Hale Navy wall!
The best part is that the Etsy shop also has some beautiful ocean prints, so I'll swap these fall-ish prints for more summery ones next summer!
AND, they have a whole section of digital art for the Frame TV! So if you have a Frame TV like mine, it's easy to download their gorgeous art for the TV as well!
What do you think? Are you into the landscape art trend? Which prints are your favorites?
