'You can never go wrong with a one-of-a-kind piece that brings personality and depth to a space,' notes designer Linda Hayslett. 'Whether it's a bold painting, a quirky sketch, or something that just catches your eye, artwork has this magical way of transforming a room and making it feel uniquely yours.'
The best thing about thrifting art...it's often significantly marked down at thrift stores and antique malls, allowing you to buy original works for much cheaper than market value.
