Accessible Art + Collecting with Public House of Art

Art is one of the most powerful—and the most perplexing—components of home decor. It’s an architectural layer unto itself, with the ability to add personality and energy in a single stroke. Swapping out art, without changing anything else, can alter the entire mood and style of a room! Yet the world of art can be a confounding one, with pieces ranging from the $5 Ikea poster to the priceless gallery canvas. Determining your taste in art is hard enough—never mind building a lasting and meaningful collection from amongst the seemingly endless landscape of options!

That’s where Public House of Art comes in. The Amsterdam-based company’s motto is “Art to Disrupt Not Bankrupt”, and they’re on a mission to make gallery-quality art available to us regular folk. Each piece is from an artist whose works are already gaining a reputation on the international scene, and each is available in a limited quantity of only 30. We’re talking major collector’s buzz, here! The photography, collage, paintings, and sculptures are seriously arresting. Plus the website’s cheeky tone is fun and accessible—exactly as art should be, right?!
