Decorating your home with photos on canvas

Most people find it difficult to decorate a room and be completely satisfied with how it looks. Employing a decorator can be expensive and painting or wallpapering time consuming and also expensive, even when done by the home owner. Canvas printing provides a cost effective solution that will brighten up any room. Hanging either one large canvas print or several smaller canvas photo prints on a white or magnolia wall transform the appearance from looking plain and uninspiring to a bright, modern and vibrant room. Canvas printing companies offer canvas prints in a choice of sizes that cater for any size of room. Companies like ESJDesigns sell canvas prints stretched and mounted on frames from A3 (420mm x 297mm) right up to A1 (840mm x 594mm). There are many combinations for how canvas prints can be displayed. Large photos on canvas can be displayed as centre pieces to rooms or walls or small canvas prints positioned in interesting configurations to create eye catching montages. An interesting way to display canvas printing is to use a create triptych canvas prints. This is where an image is split into sections and each section is turned into a canvas print. Companies like ESJ Designs will split an image ensuring that each canvas print has an overlap so when the image is wrapped around the canvas frame the images on the front faces of the canvas prints still flow correctly to how the image looked before splitting.

Canvas printing suggestions

Family photos make very popular canvas photo prints for decorating homes. A large canvas print of the whole family could possibly be used in the living room and smaller canvas photo prints of individual family members’ used for other rooms or staggered leading up the stair case. Although the modern, white background family photographs that many photography studios take make fantastic canvas prints, the images used for canvas printing don’t have to be from these high tech, often very expensive studios. Old photograph prints and negatives can be used and produce very successful canvas printing results. They will need to be scanned into a computer but for most canvas printing companies this shouldn’t be a problem and companies like ESJDesigns offer a free photo and negative scanning service. If there are no photography studio costs involved and the only expenditure is the photo on canvas then homes and rooms can be decorated very effectively and with readily available cheap canvas prints, very easily.

Moving canvas photo prints around

Canvas photo prints don’t have to be positioned in one place in the house and left there. Unlike traditional framed photographs canvas prints are very light in weight. As there is no heavy glass or metal fixings on canvas photo prints, only single small nails or screws are needed to hang even large photos on canvas on walls. This means that if there are a few canvas prints displayed in a house, they can be rotated to change the appearance of a room very easily.
