How to Make an Elegant Bedroom with Wall Art Canvas

Are you pondering on how to boost the look and feel of your home with bedroom wall art canvas? Most of the time, choosing wall art is not simple. Mainly because you have so many options to pick from. Yet, with a few tips and tricks, the entire process can be made much simpler. So, let’s get started on how to choose wall art, especially for delicate places like your bedroom. 

 

Start Seeing! 

 

To begin with, you need to take a good look at the wall you are planning to fill. How big is this wall? Which side of the room does this wall lie? Is the wall empty, or have you loaded it with other artwork? Take a moment, stand in front of this wall and let your imagination flow. You need to let your creative side do all the thinking. It could be anything like the size, colour, quality or the theme of the painting you are looking for.

 

The height 

 

Most of the time, people go wrong with the height of the bedroom wall art canvas. The golden thumb rule is to place artwork at eye level. You should not lift your head, or look down to see the canvas. Ensure that you can enjoy the picture at eye level. This means the artwork could be anywhere like 60 to 65 inches above ground level. And, if the bedroom wall art canvas is going to be placed behind a bed, or table – it needs to be 6 to 10 inches above the object’s edge. 

 

The width! 

 

Once the height is sought, you may need to pay some attention to the width of the painting. 

 

To play safe, choose a canvas print that is less wide than the bed or table, it is ought to placed over. In case the wall is empty, you don’t have many restrictions on the width. Yet, choose a size that blends with the actual dimensions of the room. For example, if the room is small, it would be unwise to choose a painting that fills an entire wall. A safer and wiser choice would be wallpaper! Why? You will never be able to absorb the picture fully if it covers the entire wall in a small room.

Canvas Options

The options are explained below. Choose between the different types of canvas, finishes, image wrap types and frame depth.

Canvas Type

Stretched Canvas

STRETCHED CANVAS


A stretched canvas print is ready to hang where the image is printed and stretched around the sides of the mount. The edges of this mount are visible when hung on the wall which is why the print is stretched around the sides. With a stretched canvas, there are 2 wrap types that you need to choose from for how the image is printed. See below for image wrap options.

Framed Canvas

FRAMED CANVAS


A framed canvas is also ready to hang and the difference here is that the canvas is nestled nicely inside a frame. The canvas is still made in the same way as a stretched canvas so everything is the same, but because it is inside a frame you don't see the sides of the mount. With a framed canvas, you don't need to select a wrap type because it is not applicable.

Finishing

Glossy Finish

GLOSSY


A framed canvas is also ready to hang and the difference here is that the canvas is nestled nicely inside a frame. The canvas is still made in the same way as a stretched canvas so everything is the same, but because it is inside a frame you don't see the sides of the mount.

Matte Finish

MATTE

With a stretched canvas, there are 2 wrap types that you need to choose from for how the image is printed. Read more >>>

Image Wrap

Full Image Canvas Wrap Type

FULL IMAGE


A full image wrap is where the entire image is printed and mounted around the whole frame. So there will be a portion of your image that will be shown on the sides of the canvas. The lines above show an example of where the edges of your image will be lost around all 4 sides. We only recommend this option if the focal point of the image is in the center and you don't mind the edges getting wrapped around the side of the canvas.

Mirror Canvas Wrap Type

MIRROR


The mirror wrap option is by far the most popular choice because you don't lose any of your image. This is what we recommend most of the time. The whole image is printed on the front, and a portion of each edge of the image is used to extend the canvas to wrap it around the frame. The image above might look weird in 2D but the lines show the area where all 4 sides have been mirrored to wrap the canvas so that none of the image is lost.

Frame Depth

The frame depth (bar size) refers to the thickness of the wooden frame that the canvas is stretched around. This determines the depth of the canvas. Both sizes are covered by the canvas borders with both wrap types.

0.75in Bar Size

0.75"


The thinner 0.75" stretcher bar is a popular thickness because of the affordability. Frames with a 0.75" bar size are also lighter.

1.25in Bar Size

1.25"


The more premium 1.25" stretcher bar is what we recommend for bigger size prints, and it gives a better 'Art Gallery' feel to the canvas when hung.
