You love art. Maybe you studied it in college, maybe you spend weekends perusing museums, maybe you dream in color. But you're not about to show up at an auction and bid on what has been termed a priceless piece. Thankfully you can fill your home with beautiful art without going broke. It takes some vision and some innovation.
These photos show how thinking a bit differently about artistic displays can create a gallery-worthy collection in your own home. Whether it's in how you cluster, frame, or choose your subject matter, you can create a place that is as unique as Mona Lisa's smile.

| When haute art isn't in your budget, consider a big bang for your buck in going with a larger piece with color. Unique and bright pieces can be found even in flea markets. |
| A similar effect in another setting: The art becomes the center of attention. |
