Tips for Buying Decorative Canvas Prints for Your Home

Finding affordable decorative artwork for your home can be a challenge. According to Statista, the art market had a valuation of about $65.1 billion in 2021, so finding the perfect artwork for your home can be like finding a needle in a haystack. Luckily, there are ways to save money while getting exactly what you're looking for. Canvas printing can be a great solution, for example. Follow these tips to find the perfect canvas prints for your home without breaking the bank.

Use Any Photo Your Love

Canvas printing is a great option for anyone who wants to create decorative artwork. Any photo you have can be printed on canvas to create a one-of-a-kind art piece that is perfect for your home. Pick a theme for the room you're currently improving, then get to work finding photos that will fit the theme. There are some ideas below that you can use to create amazing art for your home for a very affordable price.

Let It Be a Family Affair

Those candid shots of family members stored on your phone will likely look stunning in black and white. Canvas printing options can be scaled to any size from small to extra large. A great option is to choose a single photo that includes the entire family as a statement piece and surround it with smaller photos of each individual family member.

Keep It Natural

Take photos around your neighborhood or go through photos you have already taken to find nature pictures for canvas printing. Play around with the photos a bit in a photo editor to come up with some unique looks. It is amazing what a single leaf can look like with a little editing. Beach photos, mountain photos, and photos of your favorite flowers are just a few ideas that you can use to create beautiful art for your home.

Create an Urban Look

If you lean more toward an urban vibe in your home, there are plenty of options to create great artwork for your walls. If you do not have access to the city streets right outside your door, there are stock photos online that you can use for canvas printing to bring that urban vibe into your home.

Finding great decorative wall art for your home is as easy as looking for photos that you love and having them printed onto canvas. It is a great way to save money without sacrificing style. When you're ready to get custom canvas prints for your home, order prints from our experts at Fine Line Supply Co.

Should You Professionally Print Your Photos?

The reality is that looking at a photo on your computer or phone is not quite the same as looking at a printed image. You will notice the difference when you're taking in the glare of a reflective screen. Printing photos is the only way that you can physically display them to others. Printed photos are also "backups" of digital images, as digital photos can be corrupted or accidentally deleted. It's no wonder that, according to Life Storage, about 94% of all women still own printed photos. That said, technically speaking you could potentially have your images printed a home. You don't necessarily need to look into professional photo printing. Let's look into some of the benefits of choosing professional photo printing over printing photos at home.

1. It's Convenient

If you need to have a large number of photos printed, the process can be rather inconvenient. All too often, people spend hours having photos professionally printed in their homes. Not only does this take up time in which you must wait at your computer and printer, selecting photos to have printed, fiddling with the technology when it slows down; it also can be expensive. You could easily run out of ink, in which case you'd have to buy more to finish. It's often more convenient to pay for a professional photo printing session which includes the price of labor and materials.

2. You Can Order Digital Enhancements

Not everyone looks their absolute best on the day a photo is taken. You may be suffering from acne, or perhaps dealing with skin discoloration. Issues like these can be easily corrected by professionals, while at the same time maintaining your natural appearance. Some people choose to pay for more extreme enhancements as well, in which case photos are digitally edited or manipulated with special effects.

3. The Prints Are Higher Quality

Many of us don't know where to begin when creating high-quality photographic prints. Often, special types of paper need to be ordered for higher-quality prints. While they can be difficult for you to find on your own, these are much more easily on hand at professional photo printing studios.

These are just a few reasons why you should have photos professionally printed. We recommend beginning researching printing services near you as soon as possible so that you can print the photos you love. A printed, framed photo on the wall nearly always looks better than one online.

A Brief Closure

We will be closed June 6th through the 10th for a bit of restructuring. The art supplies will be moving over to Creative Exchange and we’ll also be reconfiguring the store. We have a great deal to accomplish in a short amount of time, and to be realistic, we probably won’t finish. The plan is to complete enough to reopen on June 13th.

We are going to try to keep printing online orders in a timely manner, but part of this restructuring involves moving all of the computers and printers. So as a preemptive “thank you for your patience” during the next week or so, enjoy 25% off all prints ordered through the online Print Lab. Enter code SAWDUST during checkout between now and June 10th.
