5 Ways To Display Canvas Prints In Your House
We all impose our personal tastes for décor in our homes with furniture items, floor coverings and such – and decorating our walls is a large part of that! We hang pictures and have photographs all around our homes – but for something a little different consider canvas prints. This art form can add a touch of personality by providing a visually interesting and captivating display to enliven any wall space – here are some suggestions as how best to display your canvas art:
Wall Grid
The most common way to display photographs or pictures is to simply hang them on a wall! Canvas prints can create a fabulous display if arranged thoughtfully – ideal for both domestic rooms or even home-office work environments, they can elevate a room’s ambience and appearance without occupying valuable floor space and can be effective either as an individual ‘stand-alone’ canvas or as part of a larger arrangement. Creating a ‘uniform’ wall grid with similar themed images can present a ‘professional’ and cohesive display that may be both attractive and relevant. Consider different-sized canvas prints, perhaps incorporating a large canvas ‘centrepiece’ as such, surrounded by smaller canvas images to create an intriguing display.
Shelving
One of the most affordable and effective ways to display your canvas prints is to erect ‘floating shelving’ – wooden or metal shelving can be attached to just about any wall – they keep your canvas art out of the reach from pets and young children and are ideal to display all manner of items from books, plants, ornaments and, of course, your canvas prints! Mixing these items on shelving can create eclectic and interesting displays in any room. Alternatively, a dedicated display of just well-chosen canvas prints can tell a story on a shelf, and either set, or be part of, an overall theme in the room!
A Focal Point
When you have decided what pictures or images you want for your canvas prints, select an appropriate space and style for your display. Consider the canvas size with regards to the space and the room in which it is to be displayed – an image that either compliments or contrasts with your room will create a focal point for anyone entering that space! Ensure the image is displayed at eye-level to attract attention and provide optimal viewing – and consider some specialised LED lighting to further highlight your canvas.
Content Variety
Consider mixing your images to provide a diverse representation – use different colours and images that may appeal to a wider range of people who may view them. We live in a diverse society of genders, ages, and social backgrounds, so a diverse display of images from different cultures and interests can provide an interesting and inclusive display all can enjoy.
Include Text
Canvas prints do not have to be exclusively pictorial images – consider hanging images of text – perhaps a meaningful poem, interesting and relevant quotes from people, or even lyrics from your favourite songs! Consider the room in which you are displaying your canvas prints – certain quotes may be relevant for a kitchen, but not a lounge, some text may be meaningful in a home office but irrelevant in a household room, so choose text that has some context in the space it will be displayed.
Canvas printing can give your walls at home a new appearance and reinvent a space by bringing a fresh appeal to your existing décor.
