    Artists and shops on Etsy have a wide, diverse collection of masterpieces just waiting to be discovered. Here are some popular types of art that you can display in your home:


    • Painting: A range of media like canvas, paper, wood, or fabric host gorgeous original works of art that brighten your walls and beautify your home.
    • Prints: Replications of original art, art prints are sometimes made by the original artists, and may be easier to care for and store than original pieces of artwork.
    • Drawings and illustration: Ranging from photorealistic, hand drawn images, to cartoons and caricatures, this type of art is made with pencils, pens, and brushes both digital and in real life, resulting in singular art pieces to cherish for a lifetime.
    • Photography: Pictures from cameras capture a moment frozen in time, of people, places, or things.
    • Mixed media and collage: Paintings accented with newspaper clippings, drawings over multiple scraps of paper and fabric, or sculptures mixing metal, wood, and clay fall under this category. Collage uses various partial images and colors from different sources—like old magazines, textbooks, and family photos—to create a whole image.
    • Sculpture: Exploring the three dimensions of space, artists create shapes, likenesses, and representations of people, animals, places, or abstract imagery by molding, carving, and modeling by using different materials.
    • Glass art: In the form of decorative vases, tiled mosaics, window suncatchers, glass art plays with light and infuses ambient light with color.
    • Fiber arts: Macrame wall hangings, cross-stitched quotes for your kitchen, and felted figurines of cute mice to people your console table—fiber arts on Etsy encompass a wide range of unique art and collectibles to give your home decor a soft touch.

    Collecting as a hobby mixes history, nostalgia, and the appreciation for downright cool stuff. Anything can be a collectible if you find value in it, and sellers on Etsy feature a large selection of popular types of collectibles:


    • Dolls & miniatures: Lifelike dolls and miniatures reflect back fashion trends and inspire feelings of nostalgia in those who played with them as children.
    • Postage stamps: Some of the most highly collected objects in the world, these tiny works of art range from current designs that are immediate collectors items, to stamps from the past that serve as a snapshot of their era.
    • Coins and money: Old coins and foreign money show the evolution of business and commerce. Lots of collectors collect these coins and money as an investment, while others enjoy the fine details.
    • Sports collectibles: Jerseys, hats, gloves, balls—sports memorabilia connects fans to glorious moments when their heroes performed fantastic feats of athleticism, broke records, and achieved victory.
    • Vintage pipes: These collectibles have gorgeous handmade details and are feats of woodworking and ceramic design. Some enthusiasts keep their pipes in tiptop condition, and enjoy smoking tobacco from their works or art.
    • Vintage action figures: Poseable and plastic, action figures depicting characters from favorite entertainment media evoke nostalgia for the days spent playing and imagining.
    • Figurines: Different from action figures in that they are originally meant to be displayed, not played with, figurines grace dining table centerpieces or empty spots in bookshelves and provide artistic detail.

    Many artists and sellers on Etsy can create custom and personalized artwork and collectibles. Give a piece of personalized art to a loved one, like neon signs of their name, or a stylized portrait, as a gift for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and holidays.
