Small Vs. Large Personalized Canvas Prints

Knowing which canvas size is right for your space can be a challenge. Should you order small or large personalized canvas prints? Should you make a single print or multiple prints for a gallery wall? Styling your home decor should always take into consideration the size of the space you’re decorating, as well as the look or theme you want to achieve.

A general rule of thumb is to keep the size of artwork—in this case personalized canvas photo prints—in proportion with the size of the space. For small spaces, that means going simple with the prints. A single large custom print or a series of small personalized canvas prints will do for a small space. A single or multiple large personalized canvas prints will work well for larger spaces.

Match Personalized Canvas Prints to Your Style

One of the best parts about creating canvas prints personalized with photos, text, and custom designs is that your wall art will match your style perfectly. Choose framed canvas prints if you want wall art in wood frames to coordinate with your rustic home decor. On the other end of the decorating spectrum, custom canvas prints can also have minimalist frames or no frames for a modern home decor design. Hanging canvas prints offer metallic and wooden frame options, making them a great, versatile option for your space.

No matter which style you want for your home, you can customize wall art further with our design tool by adding text, such as a name, date, or meaningful quote, to set the mood of the room. Picture baby’s nursery with high-quality canvas prints showing off newborn photos, his or her name, and birth date stamped in the corner like a sweet memory. Or the impossible-to-decorate stretch of a hallway in your home? Fill the empty space with personalized photo canvas prints, and you’re filling your home with love. Custom canvas prints are great home decor solutions for any space, from kitchen decor to nursery themes to living room wall art. Gather favorite photos from family vacations, your wedding day, and pictures from childhood—and get ready to create personalized wall art made on canvas material.

Framed Canvas Prints

Framed canvas prints can add an extra special touch to any wall they’re hanging on. With frame colors ranging in white, black, brown, metallic, and rustic colors; there is a frame for every home decor look. Adding a picture frame to a canvas print will elevate the print’s design and will give your wall a unique and customized look. If you’re looking for a more modern wall art look, adding a white or a black frame will make your wall art look more aesthetic and put together. For a rustic farmhouse look, customizing your canvas print with a brown and rustic color wood to match the barn house feel. Using a metallic color will give your framed canvas print a more festive out of the box look that will give an extra pop to your walls.

5. Add custom text. Get creative with your personalized canvas prints by making them your own with custom text that speaks to you.
