Cheap and pretty prints and where to find them

A small 2018 goal of mine is to start collecting prints. Unsure why I haven’t already started this as I’m a huge print appreciator! I’m always admiring the work of small business owners on Instagram, and prints are something I’m always instantly drawn to, hence why I want to start accumulating them.
For today’s post I thought I’d compile a list of shops that retail some stunning prints to help you guys out if you're also looking to initiate your print collection OR expand an already existing wall gallery. I have included prints from numerous different shops (brick and mortar retailers, small independent businesses...etc) and different types of prints (art prints, quote prints...etc) to make it all-inclusive. The majority of the prints in this guide are considerably lower than £5.00; some as low as £0.80 (bargain!), so starting your own collection shouldn't make a dent in your bank account.

Here are 16 pretty prints...

Brick and mortar (and online)

1. "Be wild and free" - £0.80

2. "Bee happy and smile" - £0.80

Online (print) shop

All of the above prints are available from sizes 5x7 inches to 20x28 inches. The 5x7 inche prints are ONLY £2.95.

1. Watercolour watermelon

2. Home quote

3. Lipstick illustration

4. It's not what we have...

5. Leave a little sparkle wherever you go

6. Black and white forest

These are just a few of many prints that are only £2.95 on DESENIO. I would definitely recommend browsing their website to suit your aesthetics. 

Small(er) businesses

Thought this needed mentioning...

I think it's so imperative to support small businesses because it takes a lot of guts, money and effort to initiate a business. Small businesses offer much better customer experience in general (in comparison to larger chains) and for me, that solely, is a good enough reason to shop small. I want to dedicate this year to shopping more from small independent businesses as an act of respect for the amount of work and dedication that goes towards starting and running a small business, and I think you should too!

The following prints are from small businesses that I have been following and drooling over the work of, for a very long time. 

1. "STAY INSPIRED" print by Mandie Kuo - £2.29 (A6)

2. Berry Pancake illustration print by Mandie Kuo - £2.29 (A6)

3. Plant illustration by Sighh designs - £3.00 (A6)

4. Typography print by Dot creates - (A5)

5. Set of 4 motivational prints by Papio Press - £6.00 (A6)

Hope you liked and found this post useful. I definitely enjoyed writing it!
