  Auction sales. Great fun . Usually advertised in local papers and viewing a day before the sale. Lovely pictures go for pennies. Be warned auctions are quite addictive.

  An excellent suggestion.
  
  My local hospice shop has dozens of paintings/prints on sale for £3 or less - in many cases the frames alone would cost considerably more that £10.

  Would that be the Ikea which was mentioned in the opening post or do you have another one in mind?

  I was going to suggest them. Got a good range (;-)) of pictures and good prices.

  Another vote for The Range. I popped into my local store yesterday and the place is full of various art prints (and loads of modern house chintz, seems like they've found what sells, anyway )

  If you are into retro you could buy some original 60s wallpaper and frame that.

  Takes some pictures yourself and have them blown up onto canvas.

  Simple question, I'd like some pictures for the home.
  Ikea, good price but not much choice
  John lewis very expensive
  
  Anywhere else!

  
  I'm an amateur artist I painted all my own pictures - but have seen quite a few by other amateur works in charity shops and car-boot sales - some are very good and reasonably priced.

  The Range, Dunelm Mill and Wilko are all surprisingly good for reasonably priced pictures

  Why not buy some real art instead of mass produced rubbish? There are plenty of talented artists around.

  Definitely charity shops. You get a nice frame too for about £6.99. There was a lovely framed artwork in one of my local charity shops yesterday of a serene scene of a boat on a lake. It was gorgeous and only £6.50. Also Ebay have original artworks. Or my OH can paint you one.
