The advantages of canvas prints
Most people have some form of art displayed in their homes and offices but art can be an expensive and subjective commodity.
Today people have to be more cost conscious and one of the most affordable ways of having art in your home is to buy a canvas print. As the name implies this is a print transferred to canvas and one of the many benefits, aside from its affordability, is that you can choose EXACTLY what image you want. Anything from a family photo to an image of your wedding, garden or beloved pet can be put onto canvas, making it a unique piece of art. If you do not have your own image, companies often offer a selection of their own or there are free images to download from the Internet.
The first step is to choose an image that you would like displayed and send it to a company which undertakes canvas printing. Many companies offer the highest resolution from your photograph providing ‘sharpness’ of quality. The photo does not have to be ‘blemish’ free as most reputable canvas printers can provide a whole range of effects and enhancements including the banishing of ‘red eye’.
Other effects such as converting your image to ‘pop art’ or presenting it in monochrome (black and white) can fit in well with stylish contemporary interiors, whilst a ‘sepia’ finish goes well with more traditional décor. Illustrations of these effects can be viewed on canvas printing web sites.
Canvas sizes, like prices, vary ranging from a standard size print to one that would dominate an entire feature wall. In order to achieve the best possible effect it is better to have your photograph printed onto cotton canvas rather than a cheaper polyester alternative.
As canvas prints are ‘frameless’ there is less chance of them being damaged during decorating and without the need to match frames to your décor, they are more interchangeable in rooms making them a long-lasting alternative to framed prints.
