Cool canvas print wall art ideas

So you have a large, blank space on your wall and you're looking to spruce it up in an attractive, cost-effective and quick way

It's time to look at canvas photo wall art which is fully customisable and beautiful to look at.

Even better, it is very easy to order online and cost-effective too. Here are some of our favourite ideas for using it in your home, business or club.

Super-size in the home

Why not create an extra large, supersize canvas photo print bearing one of the favourite images of your family all together? Equally, you could choose a friendship group image from a favourite holiday or event, or simply a stunningly beautiful image that shows something meaningful to you - a nature scene, a cityscape, an abstract piece or even your favourite pet! The beauty of the 'hero' image is that it creates an instantly impactful focal space for the room. Illuminate it with a spotlight and it really will be the first, beautiful thing that you see as you walk into the space. This can be very useful if you are looking to enliven a room or take attention away from another feature (the TV, for example, or the kids' toys!)

A hallway of memories

Another lovely look involves creating canvas photo prints of different sizes and mounting them at irregular points all the way along your corridor or alongside the stairs. Why not devote an image to every person of importance in your life? Alternatively, you could choose a theme such as the best holidays that you have had, picking a memory from each. If you prefer stock images, then you'll also find plenty of beautiful and professional quality images to choose from. Some of our favourite themes include flowers, abstract images, tropical fish and butterflies. An example of how this could look might be of a seaside theme, featuring a large narrow portrait image of a great day at the beach, with smaller accent canvases that capture small memories of the day - a shell, an ice-cream, a beach hut and your dog running along the sand with a dopey look on its face! By grouping images in this way, you can create a very 'art directed' and professional interior design look.

One image a day

A popular trend has been the 'one image a day' photo project to capture photos of growing children. If you have a baby, then you could try capturing one photo a month and then creating a montage of 12 linked images to show how they changed over the year. Bring in accessories and a little caption for each and you'll create something really fun and interesting, as well as being highly personal for your family.

Spell out a word

Remember that canvas prints can also be used for illustrative images. Stock image sites have these and if you have graphic design skills you can create your own. Why not create a set of prints that spells out a meaningful word?

LOVE and HOME are always popular choices. The initial of each family member is also a fun theme. Choose beautiful typefaces and a complementary colour background for a stunning colour pop that will feel entirely fresh and bespoke to your home.

Canvas wall art in your business

Canvas photo art is also great in business premises. Why not ask your graphic designer to print photos of customers to highlight testimonials of your best work? Photos of your staff doing their work also bring the working space to life. Have fun on corridor walls and in meeting rooms to create energy, colour and creativity - all of which help to boost productivity.

Canvas wall art in your club

A large landscape canvas is a great way to capture a snap of your sports team, Scout Group, yoga club or other group that regularly meets. Celebrate a special moment in a visual way and welcome guests with a sense of what your club is about. Canvas wall prints are also inexpensive and easy to update, so they are a really fresh way to liven up your premises without breaking the bank!

Hopefully, these suggestions will create a little inspiration to get you start. Which ideas will you progress for your wall art project?
