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!
