HOT TIP [from Emily Henderson]: This one is CONTROVERSIAL, but important enough to bring up. Stay away from generic prints of famous works. The Mona Lisa and anything Banksy are true masterpieces but they should stay in the museum (or on the side of a building). Find out why you were drawn to it in the first place. Was it the beautiful landscape or age of the portrait? Then find a new original or original vintage piece that speaks to you in the same way. For some of our suggestions and more very important scientifically proven art rules head to the blog.
