5 Interior Designing Tips

Decorating homes and offices with canvas prints have gained popularity these days. Photos on canvas can be maintained and cleaned easily unlike traditional paintings. Prints are also more affordable wall art so they make practical decor pieces. Another advantage to hanging pictures on canvas is the versatility. You can easily find pictures in large canvas pieces in any subject you want. 

 

 

 

1) Effects of color- 

Understand what color can do to you and other people who see your canvas prints. If you want to create a calm and tranquil haven, you should hang canvas prints with dominant blue shades. If you want to hang prints in a young child's room or in an infant's nursery, yellow shades would be more suitable than tan or dark colours. Livingrooms and dining rooms are great places to entertain guests. 

2) Make everything match - 

Get canvas prints that complement the room's theme and concept. If your home is designed in a minimalist theme, go for black and white photos on canvas, or a colourer picture with a simple subject. Triptych or 3 piece canvas also look good in very modern houses. If you are decorating a beach house, hang some beach themed canvas or pictures showing underwater sea life. If you want to decorate an urban high-rise condo unit, photos of modern cities around the world would complement your urban lifestyle.

3) Make your wall art work for you 

If you are decorating a small apartment, you should try hanging some landscape pictures. The appearance of a faraway horizon fading into the background produces a picture window effect. If you are decorating a restaurant or bar. Use canvas prints depicting food and wine related subjects. The sight of food and wine on your walls can wet customers' appetites and induce them to order more food or drinks.

4) Get the appropriate size

If you are decorating a small room, avoid getting prints that are too large. When decorating a large wall in a big room, then large canvas prints or canvas art sets would be appropriate. Hang large canvas pieces where there is enough space to move back to see the whole artwork.

5) Presentation

Highlight your canvas prints by providing proper lighting. There are wall lamps specifically for lighting wall art and are placed above the canvas. Aside from lamps you can also use ceiling track lights facing the canvas. Use amber lighting with a soft glow, not glaring white light. You can present your artwork as a formal piece by framing the canvas or as a casual type of decor by using photos stretched on galley wrapped canvas without a frame. Hanging 3 piece canvas pieces is also a modern way of presenting wall art.

Use these tips when choosing and hanging your canvas prints in accordance with your own personal tastes. You will know if you got your decorating right if the total effect leaves you happy with what you see.
