The problem that I have with trying to find stuff to put on my walls is this inescapable feeling that anything that I like - or, more specifically, anything that I can find that's affordable to me that I like - must be impossibly gauche, or it wouldn't be something that I could find and afford.

Does anyone have any advice?

Ooh, ooh, I have a good one! Cheap art can often be found in some pretty unlikely places like self-help groups, advocacy groups, and auctions for senior residences. Check your local event listings, because truly some of these places have incredibly talented artists who are selling their works cheaply for a good cause. You can even feel doubly good about it knowing your dollars are often going to charity or to advocacy for battered women or something similar.

I don't know your budget but there are a lot of places online that sell art prints going from 10 dollars and up. If you buy the print WITHOUT the frame it tends to be a lot cheaper, and you can find a cheap frame that you like yourself.

A lot of places like society6 and inprnt are also coming directly from the artist so even if the print is fairly inexpensive, you are supporting an artist directly (which I recommend doing.)

I'm totally gauche. I just sticky tack a ton of art and shit to my walls, plus a few random posters, art by my friends, and photos. I don't bother with frames, because they're heavy and fragile; it's easier for me to just keep all my art in a few envelopes and one poster tube.

Before we had art, one of the other people here would cut things out of comics and magazines and sticky tack it everywhere. She would particularly scrounge weird high fashion mags from the school library, with the librarian's permission. Our younger brother took a page from her book and put up movie posters.

It's your place, OP. Who cares what anybody else thinks? Go ahead and rock that velvet Elvis or picture of dogs playing poker!

Hard to say without knowing what you like or what you have in mind. That said, cheap art is everywhere. Etsy and tumblr are good places to look for photographers/artists who sell prints. You can also search Flickr and see what's under a Creative Commons license, i.e. where the photographers give you permission to use their work in a limited scope, usually anything is fine as long as it's non-commercial and you give credit.

Lots of places will allow you to upload a photo and order a large print. Simple wooden frames are cheap at Wal-Mart and dollar stores. You can also frame calendar art, greeting cards, postcards, etc. Fine art posters are relatively inexpensive on Ebay. You can also Google for instructions on how to frame fabric. Colorful, pretty fabrics are cheap if you buy fat quarters at a craft store, and they're frequently on sale for $1.
