How to Choose and Decorate Your Home with Canvas Prints
Canvas prints are lovely decorative items that can elevate the style of your indoor living spaces. These prints can be found in a wide variety of different designs from nature scenes to portraits or even family photos that have been enlarged and printed onto the blank canvas. It is fun to find art that speaks to your inner soul and blends well with your home decor.
Many canvas prints are hung on the walls without the use of a frame. However, if a framed canvas is more your style, feel free to find a beautiful frame that perfectly showcases your wall art. In general, canvas prints are simple to hang, require almost no effort, and are lightweight to boot. This means that you can quickly move your prints around if you feel like changing your indoor design style.
Canvas prints give off a 3-D effect, and along with prints, it is easy to find acrylic-painted versions as well. In addition, you can download a favorite photo and send it to a company that will print out the picture onto canvas, enlarging the print to your specifications. Remember that some photos will not have the right resolution if enlarged too much.
It is best to select colors of your chosen canvas print that will match or blend well with your existing furniture and room shades. Use a color wheel to make this job easier when planning to shop for your wall art. There are many online art stores and galleries that sell affordable canvas prints or will transfer your photograph into a custom and personalized work of art. Many art supply stores also sell this kind of wall art.
Put some thought into where you wish to place your canvas print or prints. Pay attention to possible problems, like high humidity in a bathroom or kitchen; too much sunlight coming through a window that could fade your print; or whether there is room enough for people to walk past the wall art without knocking it off the wall, like in narrow hallways or other tight spaces. Some canvas prints can be framed in glass if you want to place them in areas where moisture could be an issue.
Consider using several canvas prints, and don't be afraid to create unusual groupings for multiple-sized prints. Some people make a gallery of various photos or other wall art on a staircase wall, in an entryway, or along a hallway. There are also many canvas prints that are sold in a group of individual prints that each combine to create the full design when placed together on a wall. Different shapes and sizes can give the grouping of canvas prints extra edginess and a captivating appeal.
Consider adding one or more canvas prints to enhance your existing interior design theme. Art is highly personal, and your choices should make you feel happy each time you see them.
