No, this is not compulsory. Our Guest check-out allows you to make a purchase in no time.

Unless indicated as “sold”, all items are for sale and available to purchase directly through the website. After you place an order, you will first receive an email acknowledging that order.

We will then confirm our acceptance by sending you an email that confirms that the artwork is available and we are processing your order. If we are unable to supply you with the artwork, we will notify you and refund promptly the full amount.

Our clever filters on the left of the “Artwork” page allow you to focus on the artworks that you prefer. When you have made a selection, simply click on any artwork, and you will be able to see its details. You can then click on the arrows on the right and left of the screen to discover all the artwork that you have previously filtered.

We are working hard to get you the best possible discovery experience so that you are fully satisfied when receiving the artwork. For all artwork on the website  we provide a picture of it digitally inserted in a real room, allowing you to assess proportions and have a first impression of it in a real environment.
Also, in some cases, depending on the artist and customer’s location we might be able to accommodate a viewing. Do not hesitate to contact us at contact@ideelart.com for more information.
