Frequently Asked Questions
Artists and Artwork
How are items selected for inclusion on your site?
At Artful Home, we are always looking for extraordinary new works of art, craft, and design. Because we are committed to offering a collection of the highest quality, every artist must go through a rigorous jurying process to be accepted to our site. Our Artistic Advisory Panel—selects only those artists who meet or exceed our expectations.
Is everything on your website made in the USA or Canada?
All artwork, home decor, and jewelry is created by artists in the USA or Canada. We are proud to represent some of the most talented artists working in North America today.
Most clothing and shoes are designed by American artists and made in the USA. Occasionally, some of our American designers collaborate with makers in other countries to create specific pieces. We also offer select pieces by small-batch international designers who meet our high standards. We always indicate where every shoe or piece of clothing was made.
Do you offer special orders or custom work?
Some artists are happy to alter the dimensions, colors, or other details of an existing piece to suit your needs. We are happy to contact an artist on your behalf to determine if any item which sells for a minimum retail price of $300 can be altered to the requested specifications. Note that modifications may change the price and the estimated lead time. Custom design artwork is non-returnable. Clothing and shoes are not eligible for customization. Please contact our Customer Care team at 1-877-223-4600 for assistance.
Is all art on your site one of a kind?
The artwork we offer can be classified in three ways: one of a kind, limited edition, and production.
- One of a kind means the artwork you are viewing is the only one created. It is a unique work of art.
- Limited edition means the artist will only create a predetermined number of a piece. For some artists, each piece in an edition will be an identical, original work of art. For others, each piece will vary within a particular palette, size range, etc. Often, the pieces will be signed and numbered by the artist.
- Production means the artist is willing to create the same piece over and over. Each piece may vary slightly in size and color, as each is an individual work of art.
I am an artist and I would like to sell my work on your site. How do I apply?
You are welcome to apply to sell through the Artful Home. More information can be found here.
How do I care for my artwork?
Although original works of art are made with durability and longevity in mind, there are a few simple things you can do to enhance your artwork's lifespan. Find out more about caring for artwork.
How do I get a Certificate of Authenticity for an item I ordered?
A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is available for most artwork, home decor, and jewelry. The COAs for your items can be found in your account. Once you sign in, locate the item under “Order History.” Then, click “download the Certificate of Authenticity.” Once downloaded, you can print the COA or save it digitally.
Placing an Order
I prefer not to place my order online. Is there another way I can order?
Yes. You may also place an order by calling Customer Care at 1-877-223-4600.
Can I place an order from an international address?
We're sorry, but we cannot currently ship to locations outside the United States.
Payment Information
When is my credit card charged?
Your credit card is charged at the time your order is placed. The artists and designers who sell through Artful Home are working from independent studios, and in many cases, they are making items specifically to fill your order. Getting payment up front allows artists to more easily cover the costs of making your artwork.

Shipping Information
When will my order ship?
Some pieces are made to order by the artist, while other pieces are created ahead of time. Therefore, ship times for each piece will vary. You can find the ship time for any piece on its product page; look for the words "This piece ships on or before..."
After placing your order, you will receive an email telling you when to expect its arrival. Once your order has shipped, you will receive another email that includes the shipper's tracking information.
If you have questions about delivery times or tracking packages, please email us at info@artfulhome.com or call 1-877-223-4600.

How much does return shipping cost?
For clothing, shoes, and jewelry: There is a flat fee of $6.95 per shipment (one shipment=one address). For example, if you return three tops to one designer, you will be charged for one shipment. If each top ships to a different designer, you will be charged for three shipments.
For art and home decor: The return charge is the actual cost of shipping the artwork. Because most artists ship directly from their studios, most returns are shipped directly back to the artists.
