Consider RENTING Art

RENTING art has been a breakthrough strategy for more than one client. 

Recently a client couple rented a fantastic spectrum of art, from edgy to simply beautiful works--things they would never have "committed to" by buying, but they were very willing to "date" by renting.  They are having a blast on round two now, swapping out some of the first pieces for new ones, and extending time on some of round one pieces, to try them a bit longer.

Renting can be so LIBERATING.
And educational-- you will learn LOADS about what you like, what you want to live with, what you enjoy seeing every day.

At the end of the rental period, you might decide to purchase some of the art (usually a portion of the rental fee is applied to purchase) -- you might even SURPRISE YOURSELF by what you decide to keep!

Many galleries will lease art, even if they don't advertise this it never hurts to ask. 
In San Francisco we have the SFMOMA Artists Gallery at Fort Mason-- a HUGE array of California art, by both emerging and established artists, all available for purchase or for RENT.
