Inject some creative light onto your walls in 2012 by printing your photos to canvas. All the rooms of your home can benefit from having a few unique and select pieces of art hung from the walls. Pick some of your favourite photos and check out the tips below for some inspiration.
Your lounge is the family’s hub so choose one image which will take you back to a happy memory, holidays or parties pictures work perfectly for this. Go for a large statement size canvas to makeover a bare wall; panoramic, long, thin rectangle sizes work exceptionally well for this style of design.
Your dining area is designed for conversation, entertainment and has real potential to show off your artistic skills. Pick a picture of a nice landscape that you have taken on a holiday or one that has a special sentiment, such as a beach scene, lake, or even a cityscape. Choose an image size and shape relative to the wall size and hang it as pride of place, ready for some compliments.
The children’s room should be a clever combination of playful and sentimental, it is a space to really show off all your favourite baby pictures. For a unique and playful design, select a handful of your most cherished images and have each one printed onto a different sized canvas in black and white. When hanging the canvases put them all close together to create a slightly obscure square of memories.
A practical kitchen should never be without a creative background; after all it is where the fuel for your family comes from. Get creative by taking three pictures of food which best matches you favourite cuisine, for example, if you like Mexican foods you could choose red chillies, avocado and kidney beans. Print these photos to canvas using small square canvases and hang next to each other and let the contrasting colours take you back to your favourite meal.
These hints and tips should have you ready to transform your most cherished photos to canvas prints.
