CUSTOM CANVAS IDEAS

Not sure how to get started with your custom artwork design? Here are a few tips:

WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN STYLE?

First, consider your design style. A room design in French country will marry well with wildflowers or traditional sceneries versus contemporary artwork. A modern loft on the other hand will partner well with geometric patterns, or a series of metal prints that are bold in color. Use your judgment to pair your art with your own personal style.

SCALE OF THE ROOM, THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX.

If you are filling the walls of a small room, one might consider using a collection of smaller prints that are hung as a collection. Perhaps a series of foliage, or images of the seasons. If you are looking for something bold, why not put one large print that covers most of the wall? To gauge which look you prefer, cut out pieces of newspaper in various sizes and assemble them on your wall, to get a feel for what you like, before you start your design.

DESIGNING WITH WORDS.

There is strength in words and using them in art can be comforting and fun! Consider a favorite phrase, poem or collection of words that are meaningful to you and those who will be enjoying the space. Keep it simple and highlight a few words on a large canvas to make a statement or design your own customized collection of sayings!

THINK IN COLOR.

Color impacts mood. Design your artwork to compliment your setting and consider its impact on the overall feel of the room. Does it make sense to create a piece that is in the same color tone of the walls or are you looking for contrast? When you think about color, it doesn’t have to be solid. Think of patterns that are the right style for the space like damasks, plaids, or polka dots. Do a quick online search for royalty free images that suit your style and color palette. Once you find what you are looking for, you will be on your way to designing your own special piece of art!

PHOTOGRAPHS AND LANDSCAPES.

Keep it simple and use your own photographs to create a photo gallery on your living room wall or up the staircase. Landscape photographs are another option to transform your interior into an indoor-outdoor experience. The possibilities are endless.

MIX AND MATCH TEXTURES.

Your design ideas are your own. There is no set rule that says you must use the same canvas textures in your display. A compilation of canvas, metal, and framed pieces can make for an interesting feel.

DESIGN FROM THE HEART.

At the end of the day, you live in your space. Make it your own and create your own series of artwork that satisfies your taste. Have fun with it!
