We love our canvas!

We love our canvas! Our best friend, Snickers, passed away at the end of June and when we discovered canvaspeople.com, we couldn’t think of a better way to remember him. This photo is one of our favorites. He was in his yard, surveying the “territory”. Ordering was so easy to order and it arrived in no time! In fact, the hardest part was picking the picture! We love it so much, we plan on getting canvases of his feline brothers and sister, as well. I highly recommend the canvaspeople.com! You won’t be disappointed! -Gina H

Thanks Gina for sending in a pic of Snickers & for your kind words?

Your living room is a very public space for your family. Over the years, it will likely play host to countless family nights, holiday celebrations and social events.

If you are looking for a creative and very personal way to decorate your living room, a photo canvas is a perfect solution.

Many people struggle with finding the perfect piece of art to hang above their mantle or over their sofa. They want something that is both meaningful to them and attractive. Many of us have exactly the image that we would like to see displayed in our homes sitting on the hard drive of our computer. Perhaps it was the scenery along the road on that road trip we took 2 years ago. Or maybe it is that shot of our first kiss as man and wife. Whatever the image, a photo canvas gives us the ability to take that image and make it into a work of art, suitable to be displayed practically anywhere.

No matter what style your living room is, you can make a photo canvas that will fit into it perfectly. Brightly colored landscapes can be printed on a durable cotton canvas, to add a vivid touch to a wall. Sentimental family moments can be printed in black and white, to lend a dramatic and classic touch. You can even have your memories printed in sepia tone, to make a timeless statement. Canvas printing uses high quality inks on durable cotton canvas, to create beautiful prints that will last and stay true for generations with the proper care.

Even the most contemporary or art deco living room can have a bit of personal flair added to it with a family photo turned pop art and turned into a photo canvas. No matter what your personal style, it is quick and simple to create a canvas print that will compliment your living room. Don’t banish your digital photos to the dungeon of your hard drive, instead, set them free and display them for all to see with canvas printing. You are sure to get years and years of enjoyment out of the beautiful works of art that will result.

You’ve decided you want to try to create canvas prints, but you aren’t quite sure what to do with the prints once you get them delivered to your home. Well, your options are virtually unlimited, but here are some easy ways to decorate your home or office and make your one of a kind artwork stand out.

Remember that the canvas is protected with a special coating which will prevent damage from the often humid conditions in the kitchen.

If you like international travel, use photos of the flags from the countries you have visited to create a unique display. You could place the canvas prints on shelves next to the mementos you purchased in the various places. For beach lovers, turning a photo of a seashell into an art print surrounded by the real things is a clever way to add interest to an entryway table. Using canvas prints for holidays is another fun way to decorate your home. Take a photo each year of your best pumpkin carving or your most ornately embellished Easter egg. You can use these canvas prints to create a reminder of your family traditions at each holiday.

If you love to scrapbook, don’t let your pages stay hidden in albums. Upload photos of your best pages and hang the resulting canvas prints in your craft room to provide inspiration. Get creative and make artwork by taking photos of your kids in the dirtiest and muddiest of clothes. Then put the canvas prints on a shelf in your laundry room. However you decide to use your canvas prints, be sure you decorate your home in a style that is uniquely your own.
