\"Create<\/p>\n

DIY Interior Design is often overly centered on you and your personal tastes, from the colour scheme and furniture to the art\u00a0hung on the walls. That\u2019s not to say that your home or workspace shouldn\u2019t be centered on you \u2013 after all, it\u2019s your space and you\u2019re the one who will spend time there \u2013 of course it should reflect your taste and personality. But sometimes having room after room with your own photography on the walls in the form of canvas prints can start to feel a bit too insular and too self-regarding. In other words, it pays to mix things up a little bit.<\/p>\n

A print showing your kids or your best holiday shots here and there makes a home feel lived-in and loved. Having them everywhere starts to feel a little off-putting to visitors.<\/p>\n

One fantastic solution is to mix in some great pieces of art as part of your collection. In the past this wasn\u2019t so easy, as most museums are far away, don\u2019t allow photography, and \u201cofficial\u201d prints can be very expensive and don\u2019t have the warmth of canvas. Today, though, you can find almost any piece of classic or contemporary art you want online and run them through a canvas printing service to get any painting your want, with a high-quality canvas look.<\/p>\n

Classic Art Printing on Canvas<\/h2>\n

If your tastes run to the old-school, the Monet and Rembrandt and van Dykes of the art world, there are plenty of resources for you to consider.<\/p>\n

Your first step would be the actual museum that the particular piece is displayed at. Many museums these days have created online digital archives of their collections with high-quality scans and photos which you can purchase reasonably or even download for free.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, why not browse our online image library<\/a>, which gives you access to more then 27 million free photos.\u00a0For example, how about da Vinci\u2019s Vitruvian Man<\/span><\/a> in your home office or study?<\/p>\n

Finding Contemporary Art<\/h2>\n

Finding great Contemporary Art images for turning into canvas art can be a little more difficult; partly because so-called \u201cmodern art\u201d still gets less respect than the classics, and partly because it’s easier for people to locate a \u201cstyle\u201d of art just about anywhere. For example, you may love the works of Jackson Pollock but if you\u2019re not an aficionado or expert, there are plenty of Pollock knock-offs out there that look smashing in a room.<\/p>\n

\"Contemporary<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for the real-deal, however, there are few online collections of images like there are with classic paintings. Instead you\u2019ll have to rely on two main tools:<\/p>\n
