Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wall art can I create?
Shutterfly offers a variety of wall art options, including canvas prints, framed prints, metal prints, acrylic prints, photo tiles, wood prints, mounted prints, hanging canvas prints, art prints, and premium posters. Each style can be personalized with your own photos to match your space and decor.
What wall art material should I choose?
The right wall art material depends on your style and space. Canvas prints offer a classic textured look, framed prints create a polished display, metal prints deliver vibrant color and durability, acrylic prints provide a sleek modern finish, and wood prints add warmth and rustic character.
What size wall art should I choose?
Smaller sizes like 8x10 and 12x12 work well in gallery walls, hallways, and entryways. Medium sizes like 16x20 and 20x30 are good for bedrooms, home offices, and family rooms. Larger sizes like 24x36, 30x40, and 36x36 work best as statement pieces above a sofa, bed, or fireplace.
How do I create custom wall art?
Choose your wall art style, select a design, then pick your size and frame options. From there, upload your photos and personalize your wall art with custom layouts, backgrounds, text, and colors to create a piece that fits your home and style.
What is the difference between canvas prints and framed prints?
Canvas prints feature your photo printed on textured canvas for a gallery-inspired look, while framed prints showcase your photo on professional photo paper within a decorative frame and matting options. Canvas offers added depth and texture, while framed prints provide a more traditional display with crisp photo detail.
Can I create a gallery wall?
Yes. Gallery walls combine multiple pieces of wall art to create a coordinated display. Mix different sizes, layouts, and wall art styles to showcase family photos, travel memories, artwork, or a collection of favorite moments.
