In which case should I choose what? In this post we will talk about the benefits of canvas prints and hope that as you read, your questions will be answered and you will feel empowered to decide Canvas pictures to suit your space.
The 5 most important advantages of canvas pictures and canvas prints
1. No glare
Photos framed behind glass or printed on glossy paper can look stunning in the right room. However, in rooms with a lot of light - whether natural or artificial - the shiny surface can cause glare and reflections that prevent the viewer from seeing the photo as it was intended. Canvas prints On the other hand, they have a silky matt surface and are therefore the perfect medium for presenting photos in bright rooms.
2. Versatility in style
Canvas pictures are classic and timeless. They therefore suit all interior design styles and are among the most popular photo gift ideas. The versatility also means they will look great in your home for years to come as your decorating tastes change.
3. Budget friendly
One of the most valued benefits of printing on canvas is affordability. The cost of printing a photo on a 24" x 36" canvas is much cheaper than purchasing a similarly sized piece of art or painting. And not only that: it's also much nicer to see works of art or pictures in such a large format!
4. So many size options
Canvas pictures are available in so many different sizes that it's easy to achieve exactly the look you want, whether that's a single oversized print or a gallery wall with several smaller prints. artlia, for example, offers 6 different print sizes, from the small 30x30 cm Canvas Mini to the impressive 61x91 cm Canvas Print.
5. Almost any photo or picture looks good printed on canvas
Another great feature of canvas printing is that almost any type of photo or image you want to print will look good. Some art products have unique characteristics that limit the type of images you can print on them. Portraits, for example, don't look great on a classic silver metal print because the raw, brushed aluminum reveals areas of low saturation that show up in the photo. Canvas prints, on the other hand, make almost any image look its best, except for images where the objects are very small.
