Decorating a home is one of the best parts of moving in. After finalising the furniture, decor, and healthy dose of plants, there’s one final touch—hanging up elegant art pieces. Hong Kong is synonymous with fine art collections, although, it may not necessarily be everyone’s price range. Luckily, there’s a huge community of independent creatives in the city running their own art curations—at a more affordable price. With Hong Kong’s ever-growing art scene, comes an abundance of one-stop shops to explore the best of artists. Here are some of our favourite places to get affordable art works from independent artists in Hong Kong and beyond.

Limited-edition photography: KAKAHUETTE
Founded by two art lovers, Steven and Richard, KAKAHUETTE is a one-stop shop to find the most authentic photographic art from talented local and international artists. The brand believes in lighting up a home with inspirational photography to spark motivation and creativity everyday. Translating to “peanut” in French, KAKAHUETTE is like a favourite pairing of good wine. The founders hope to create unique and cherishing memories to perfectly match any household.
Every KAKAHUETTE piece is available for custom mounting and framing with museum-grade materials. Tom Franklin De Waart‘s “Stop Sign” is a unique, limited-edition photograph that pays tribute to downtown Hong Kong city lights.

Her collages are elegant and vibrant, comprising all of her own imagery. She photographs buildings, objects, textiles, ribbons and curated vintage props from her own collections, adds in a dash of illustration and pattern, and sometimes little vintage imagery.
