Tip #1: Choose your colours based on furniture and motif.

While it isn't completely necessary for you to match your home furniture to the actual colours

of your prints, the colours must complement each other. In fact, today's more abstract trends

call for furniture and artwork that consist of a combination of complementary colours and

designs. For this purpose, the artwork and furniture you choose should attempt to convey a

colour motif that plays on darks, lights, or a combination that suggests an element like the

sea or even the sunset. The room's purpose can help you select its motif. This will be

covered in the next tip.

Tip #2: Choose print subjects that complement your tastes Getting canvas prints right now is

easier than ever. You can easily select from a number of themes, which includes abstract

and nature prints. Nevertheless, photo to canvas and personalised prints are also popular. If

you've taken an especially stunning photograph or prefer to decorate your own home with

pictures of your loved ones instead of traditional wall art, personalised prints and photo to

canvas options allow you to be able to do so in a unique and also sophisticated way.

Tip #3: Take into account a room's purpose prior to selecting a print. The prints and colours

you select for a home office, for example, are usually a lot different than the prints you

choose for a infant's nursery. Colours have different properties. Some, like yellow, are

soothing. Others, like red, are invigorating. Yellow colours and prints of yellow items in nature

- sunflowers, for example - would be appropriate in a nursery. In a home office, however,

abstract prints in dark blue would certainly signify professionalism and seriousness.

Tip #4: Decide on the print sort based on how you plan to use the prints

Presently there are several types of layout options for Top 10 Tips for Decorating Your Home

using Canvas Prints. These include the following:

- Standard Wrap: The image wraps around the sides of the canvas

- Gallery Wrap: The image also wraps around the sides of the canvas, but those sides are

bigger.

- Standard Black Sides: The image does not wrap around the sides of the canvas. The sides

are black.

- Gallery Black Sides: The sides of the canvas are black but larger than in the standard black

up into several smaller sized prints and hanging all of them side by side.

The way you choose to present your prints depends upon the size of the room and effect you

are trying to give. Some of the choices for presentation include:

- Framing art and displaying it on mantles, bookshelves, windowsills, and tables.

- Hanging art upon the wall, in small groups, or hanging a single piece.

- Letting art sit on the floor. This makes the space look larger.

Tip #6: Hang up prints in unusual pieces for fantastic conversation starters.

Do not feel that the only method to do a print justice is actually by hanging it on a single wall

that is painted to emphasize it. Instead, unusual places for art often help to make that art

stand out even more. For instance, you may well consider several pieces over an indoor

balcony railing or placing a piece of canvas, under glass, upon your kitchen table.

Tip #7 Select Top Ten Tips for Decorating Your Home with Canvas Prints to add symbolism

and pay tribute to your loved ones in your home. Many families use artwork as a way to

honor relatives who have passed or the achievements of family members. Personlised prints,

which often can include everything from graduation collages to paintings of ancestors, can do

this in a sophisticated method.

Tip #8 Select prints that you will be comfortable with for many years to come. It is actually a

good idea for you to consult current trends whenever making print selections, but also make

sure you have chosen images that will stand the test of time. If you don't think you will like

them in a year or so, do not choose them.

Tip #9 Consider the entire family's tastes when choosing prints. Just because you think

something works well in a room does not mean that the individual who most frequents that

room will like it. Physical space plays a big role in productivity. If you pick a print that others

do not like, that may well actually keep them from getting work completed.

Tip #10 Cautiously plan room designs prior to buying prints. Cut large pieces of paper the

actual size of each print that you plan to order, and tape all of them on the walls in order to

ensure your room design will look perfect before your wall art.
