Art canvases

First, measure your wall space and decide on orientation. Canvas sizes range from compact 8x10 inches to statement-wide 60x40 inches or larger. Landscape, portrait, and square formats each create a different flow in a room; think about furniture placement and how the image aligns with doors, windows, and lighting.

Look for a high-quality stretched canvas on solid wood or composite bars and archival-grade inks for longevity. Giclée printing delivers more accurate color and finer detail than standard prints. If color accuracy matters, request proofing or check customer reviews for color consistency across batches.

Choose edge treatment to suit your style: gallery wrap with mirrored edges, solid-color wrap, or a frame around the canvas. Depth options (2 cm, 3 cm, or 4 cm) influence how bold the piece reads on the wall and whether a frame would be added later.

Decide between ready-to-hang canvases with simple hardware or framed canvases for a finished, traditional look. If you select a frame, consider the wood tone and finish to match other furnishings and the room’s lighting to reduce glare and reflections.

Stretched canvases are the standard choice: canvas wrapped over a wooden frame with no glass, creating a tactile, painterly feel. Gallery-wrapped canvases extend the image to the edges for a contemporary, frameless appearance. Framed canvases add a classic touch and can be matched to side tables, mouldings, or wall colors. Canvas prints are versatile, including landscape, cityscape, abstract, and botanical designs, often sold as single panels or multi-panel sets like diptychs and triptychs that form a cohesive story when displayed together.

To keep canvases looking their best, avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can cause fading. Keep canvases away from high humidity and heat sources that can warp the frame or loosen the stretcher bars. Dust with a soft, dry cloth or a gentle brush; never use water or harsh cleaners on the print surface. If your canvas is framed, clean the frame separately and ensure the glass or acrylic remains clean and free of fingerprints. With proper care, your art canvases will maintain color and texture for years to come.

Yes. Many Wowcher listings allow you to upload your own image to print on a canvas of your chosen size and format. Ensure your file is high resolution (ideally 300 DPI or higher at the final size) and in a compatible format like JPG or PNG. You can also choose from design templates, cropping options, and edge treatments. Custom canvases are ideal for personal memories, branding for an office, or a themed gallery wall.

Common options range from compact 8x10 or 12x16 inches to expansive 40x60 inches or larger. For small rooms, go with a single vertical or horizontal piece on a 12x18 or 16x20 canvas; for larger rooms, consider a statement piece in 24x36, 30x40, or a multi-panel arrangement like a triptych that spans a feature wall. The right size depends on wall dimensions, ceiling height, and the surrounding furniture. If you’re unsure, start with a mid-size anchor piece and add complementary prints later.

Use proper wall anchors or picture hooks rated for the canvas weight. For multi-panel canvases, align edges precisely using a level and spacing guides. A group of canvases can create a gallery wall with a unified rhythm, consider varying sizes but keeping color tones or themes cohesive. If you plan to light the canvases, use soft ambient lighting or angled spotlights to reduce glare and highlight texture.
