Interior designers often have creative skills that go beyond their ability to design attractive spaces, including a passion for art and the talent to create their own unique pieces for clients. There are many designers who have created a stream of passive income by selling printable art on their website or on sites like Etsy. This is artwork that they created one time and can sell for years as a digital download, without any additional work.
As a designer, you have the advantage of controlling the selection of artwork for your clients, including choosing the design, size, matting, and framing, and can utilize this skill to create and sell your own artwork on your website. By creating your own artwork, you can not only showcase your artistic abilities but also provide one-of-a-kind pieces for your clients and create another stream of income for yourself.
Creating digital download printable art is simple and can be done with a basic understanding of design software, such as Canva or Adobe Illustrator, and the ability to save the file in a high-resolution format. Once a designer creates the artwork and converts it into a digital download format, they can sell it repeatedly on their website, making it a great source of passive income. You can market your printable art through newsletters and on social media. If you feature your own art in your interior design projects, you can use your project photos to market your art shop.
If you're interested in selling printable art, there are several platforms you can use to get started, like Etsy, Shopify or even opening a shop on your own website. This is an excellent way to create a stream of passive income while also showcasing your artistic talents.
