Boho Art & Styling
Featuring a collection of photography, curated artwork and graphic designs, Boho Art & Styling is a boutique online art studio with pieces starting from $50. We love the option to order artwork only or add on framing when you order — in eco-friendly, plantation grown solid timber frames, no less!
They also offer a great service to personally help you select the right artwork for your style or project. By sending through a photo of your room, they will superimpose some suggestions of artwork into the photo so you can see how it looks. Love it!

We’re always featuring new artists on Style Curator and many have their own online stores where you can purchase prints of their original artworks. These may be limited edition prints, for example, award-winning figurative artist Mia Oatley offers a range of limited print works in her print shop.
