Any interior enthusiast knows the aesthetic power of beautiful wall art and prints. Whether you’re drawn to abstract brushstrokes, classic works, or pieces sourced from local Australian artists, adorning your walls with the right pieces can instantly make your home look more considered.
The trouble, however, is finding wall art that looks expensive without actually spending a small fortune. For this reason, we simply can’t get enough of Officeworks’ new collection of affordable wall art; with prices starting at just $15 for a print and $30 for a framed artwork, it’s never been easier, or cheaper, to curate your perfect home gallery.
Start your wall art collection with these unexpected finds
Launched on October 13, the new Officeworks Print + Create Wall Art collection brings together a curated selection of artwork from prolific Australian creatives, like Lisa Atkinson, and internationally recognised fine-art collections sourced from Bridgeman Images.
And while affordable artwork is nothing new, what makes this collection particularly appealing is the ability to customise your chosen piece to suit your space. Rather than settling for a print that’s almost the right size or hunting down a frame to match, you can choose your preferred artwork, select the size and paper finish, and decide whether you’d like it as a standalone poster or a framed piece that’s ready to display.

How to style affordable wall art so it looks expensive
The secret to making inexpensive artwork look elevated has very little to do with how much you spend. Instead, it’s all about scale, placement and choosing pieces that complement the rest of your interiors. These are our key tips to creating gallery-esque walls in your own home.
- Scale is everything
If you’re working with a blank wall above the sofa, consider opting for one generously sized artwork rather than several smaller prints. A larger piece can help anchor the room and create a focal point, particularly when paired with a simple frame. - Unleash your inner art curator
For a more eclectic look, a gallery wall is a beautiful way to combine different styles, colours and subjects. Try mixing contemporary artwork with vintage-inspired prints, keeping a common colour palette or frame finish to make the arrangement feel intentional. - It’s all in the details
Don’t overlook the smaller corners of your home. A framed print resting on a bookshelf, a piece of artwork above a bedside table or a thoughtfully chosen print in the home office can make just as much of an impact as a statement artwork in the living room.
