How To Choose Suitable Canvas Prints For Your Home

With so many choices available, it can be confusing to choose canvas prints for you home decoration. Picking the right photos on canvas can make your home look more beautiful and inviting. To achieve harmony between your general decor and your artwork, you need to choose the ideal prints that will complement the surroundings. Here are some tips that may help you find the right canvas for your wall decoration.


1. Choosing photos with the right colors is very important. The colors on your picture need to match the color motif of your room, upholstery and wall. Avoid getting canvas wall art that has the same color as your wall. This is so you can create contrast and highlight the artwork. If the colors of your prints are similar to your wall color, your artwork will not be noticed. Choose colors that are present in other things in the room such as your couch, throw pillows, and other decor items. If your wall is dark, choose prints with lighter shades. If your wall is painted in a light color get darker colored canvas prints.

2. Take some measurements before you even start searching for wall art. Take note of your negative space. This will be the empty space around your artwork. Measure the width and height of your wall. Consider other decor pieces or furniture near your wall such as shelves and lampshades. Now visualize an ideal size for your prints considering the rest of the things in the room. Create the perfect balance. Avoid getting canvas pieces that are too big so you do not overwhelm the wall. If your prints are too small for the wall, it will look strange and dwarfed.

3. If you are decorating a long room, you may need more than one canvas. You can get canvas art sets or a triptych in a large size. A triptych is a photo that is printed on 3 pieces of canvas. This allows you to hang them a few inches apart and enables you to cover more wall space. Another thing you can do is to get several canvas prints in similar themes and hang them in a series next to each other with some space in between each canvas. You can also create sections in a long room by grouping 3 sets of canvas wall art. Supplement the artwork with its own set of furniture.

4. Make the subject on your photos on canvas match the general theme of your room. So let's say you have an Asian inspired home, get pictures that depict Asian culture. If your room is decorated with a Mediterranean concept, get a photo print of a souk in Turkey. If you have very modern furniture, hang pictures on canvas of famous metropolitan skylines from your favorite country. For a child's room with a jungle motif, you can decorate with animal canvas or a picture of an African landscape.

The most important thing to consider when choosing your canvas prints is if you actually enjoy looking at the picture. If you think that particular print will make you feel good and happy every time you look at it, then you should seriously consider getting it. Think of the ideal place or room in your house where it would look good.
