If you could only recommend one book for the rest If you could only recommend one book for the rest of your life, what would it be? 📖

This one has been an easy answer for me since 2020, when I read THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY. It completely changed my life.

Since then, I have recommended it to countless people, and have felt intense amounts of joy as I’ve seen those people recommend it to others, buy copies for friends, suggest it for their book clubs, and come back to me to tell me how it changed their life just like it changed mine 🥰

Which book would you say changed your life for the better? 🤎

I was nervous about the movie, but loved how they stayed true to the *vibe* of PWMOV 🏖️ Even with the changes they did make, Alex and Poppy were precisely as I had always imagined them, and I adored watching every second of their friends to lovers romance 🎥

My Honest Experience With Shopping at Desenio for Art Prints

This post is in partnership with Desenio. As always, all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that support The Espresso Edition.

What It's Really Like to Shop at Desenio for Art Prints by The Espresso Edition cozy book and lifestyle blog

So you’ve seen the name Desenio, but you’re wondering what it’s really like to shop their affordable wall art. I’m sharing my honest experience.

When I was living in my townhome several years ago, I created multiple gallery walls using the gorgeous art prints from Desenio. All three of them came with me when I moved out to my little cottage in the country. While the one in my office and library still suits my space beautifully, I knew it was time for a refresh in my bedroom. I decided to transform the room from bright bohemian to a more cozy farmhouse feel. Desenio had the perfect posters to make my decor dreams come to life.

While I have purchased from Desenio in the past–and even shared my fun gallery walls–I have never given a full review of the company or talked about my shopping experience. Let me tell you why Desenio is certain to be the next place you’ll want to shop for art prints that will suit every room in your home.

Wondering what it’s really like to shop at Desenio for art prints? Let me tell you all about my experience!

First and foremost, I think it’s important to tell you a little more about Desenio as an online wall art retailer. Their business idea, as stated on their website, is that “stylish wall art should be affordable to everyone.” That’s a concept I can definitely get behind! When they say that they’re affordable, they mean it. Their most “expensive” poster pack online is still less than $100. However, the average price per poster is between $5-50 depending on the size! Desenio also offers free shipping on all orders over $45 (and they ship to over 30 countries).

When you visit the Desenio website, you’re able to search for posters in a plethora of categories, which can help you put together a theme for your space if you’re seeking more than one print. Something that I also love to utilize is their gallery wall tool which allows me to play with the scale and placement of the prints, insert posters of my own choosing, and determine the full price before I buy. They also have plenty of gallery wall inspiration if you’re feeling a little unsure of where to begin. Whether you’re searching for something modern, beachy, bold, or cozy (like me), Desenio has the perfect quality art prints at an affordable price point.

Your package will arrive 2-4 business days after you order, which blows me away! I feel like I’ve barely had time to register that I made a purchase before it’s at my door, eager to elevate my space. The frames are easy to fill and hang, and the posters are always in pristine condition. If you decide you want to replace your prints after a certain amount of time, it’s incredibly simple to swap them out! One thing to note is that the print sizes aren’t “ordinary” for the US, so if you do want to switch the prints, be sure to buy them from Desenio so that they fit!

Desenio clearly prioritizes quality. Their posters are printed on 100lb uncoated premium paper with a matte surface to ensure a glare-free finish. This is so true–the only glare you will get is off the glass of the frame, which is to be expected. They also boast a printing technique that ensures a high-quality color reproduction that won’t fade with time. I can also attest to this, seeing as I’ve had one of my gallery walls from them for going on five years and the posters still look as gorgeous as the day I got them!

If you’re looking to decorate your home with high-quality and affordable art prints, I can’t recommend Desenio enough. I have honestly found them to be one of the best online retailers for wall art and I know you’ll love them too!
