One large statement piece in your space can be transformative, changing the mood of your rooms entirely and becoming the focus of each room. Large art is impactful; people interact more readily with it due to its sheer size.<\/p>\n<p>However, impeccable styling is crucial with large custom canvas prints and can mean the difference between a stunning, high-impact art piece or a piece that falls flat and uninspiring. Large wall art can also be a great way to dress up a sparse room that doesn\u2019t have many existing design features.<\/p>\n<p>To get the biggest and best ideas for large custom canvas prints, read on.<\/p>\n<h2>Choose the right image<\/h2>\n<p>Large custom canvas prints can build an atmosphere of understated luxury \u2013 with the right photo, that is. Your photograph needs to be of a high enough quality that, when blown up, it will still retain its clarity.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you also need to choose an image that will tie in with the style of the rest of the room, or juxtapose it nicely for an interesting effect.<\/p>\n<p>For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.co.nz\/canvas-art\/?words=abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Abstract art pieces<\/a> can look fantastic in any room.

The bathroom should be a sanctuary; a place to relax, reflect, unwind or pamper ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Your wall art in the bathroom should reflect this zen-like mood. Some great ideas for the bathroom are;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Calming natural scenes like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.co.nz\/canvas-art\/?words=forest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tranquil forest<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Seascapes; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.co.nz\/canvas-art\/?words=waves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">choppy waves<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.co.nz\/canvas-art\/?words=animal%20scene\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Animal scenes<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Light-coloured abstract paintings<\/li>\n<li>A calming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.co.nz\/canvas-art\/modern-canvas-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">modern print<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For maximum impact, hang your large custom canvas print opposite the mirror, so you can glimpse your print while you\u2019re looking in the mirror.<\/p>\n<h2>Synchronising your colour palette<\/h2>\n<p>Bold, large custom canvas prints can be visually dramatic and make a show-stopping statement in your spaces. And, while you don\u2019t want a print that will look too matchy-matchy with your other interiors, you also want your print to tie in with your other d\u00e9cor pieces.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/housetoahome_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tahlia of @housetoahome_<\/a> recommends keeping your frame and the area around the artwork simple so it doesn\u2019t take away from your gorgeous artwork.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen choosing an artwork, I feel it\u2019s important to tie your artwork in with the colour scheme or theme you\u2019ve used throughout the room in which you chose to place your artwork.&nbsp;\u201c<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.co.nz\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/francesca-tosolini-KJFKCed0YKo-unsplash.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4982 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.co.nz\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/francesca-tosolini-KJFKCed0YKo-unsplash-300x228.jpg\" alt=\"large custom canvas prints\" width=\"439\" height=\"333\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/francesca-tosolini-KJFKCed0YKo-unsplash-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/francesca-tosolini-KJFKCed0YKo-unsplash-768x582.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/francesca-tosolini-KJFKCed0YKo-unsplash-1024x777.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/francesca-tosolini-KJFKCed0YKo-unsplash-150x114.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 439px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 439\/333;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Floating frame large custom canvas prints<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re not a fan of the wrapped canvas look, or if you\u2019d like some contrast between your canvas and the wall, floating frame prints are a great option. Available in a range of neutral colours, floating frame prints are the ideal way to create a lasting impact.<\/p>\n<p>When deciding whether you\u2019d like a floating frame print or not, consider the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does your print contrast with your walls? If not, you might want to add a frame to ensure your print doesn\u2019t look washed out on your walls. A frame can define your artwork and bring it to life<\/li>\n<li>What is your overall style, or which kind of look are you going for? A more modern style might look better with an edgy black frame, whereas a wooden floating frame might look great for more traditional large custom canvas prints or within a beachy, Hamptons-style space<\/li>\n<li>Do you have other framed prints? If you want to create a cohesive look or a gallery wall, you may want to use framed prints if you already have other framed prints, or wrapped canvas prints if your home is already full of them<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That said, style rules are made to be broken and if you\u2019re creating more of an eclectic look, feel free to mix up different styles and create an intriguing look that draws the eye. Mix vivid, colourful artworks with black and white prints for a glamourous yet multifaceted look.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.co.nz\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sylwia-pietruszka-XwdSGEiOahM-unsplash.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4983 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.co.nz\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sylwia-pietruszka-XwdSGEiOahM-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"framed canvas print\" width=\"503\" height=\"335\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sylwia-pietruszka-XwdSGEiOahM-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sylwia-pietruszka-XwdSGEiOahM-unsplash-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sylwia-pietruszka-XwdSGEiOahM-unsplash-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sylwia-pietruszka-XwdSGEiOahM-unsplash-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sylwia-pietruszka-XwdSGEiOahM-unsplash.jpg 1800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 503px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 503\/335;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Create a gallery wall<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re not a fan of large custom canvas prints, but you\u2019d still like to make a big impact with wall art, creating a gallery wall is a great way to showcase multiple prints to create what is essentially one large cohesive artwork.<\/p>\n<p>To create a gallery wall, ideally, you should aim to have a common theme or look running between your prints, for instance, perhaps you might use a nautical theme, interspersing family shots at the beach with nautical imagery or seascapes. You might even just use a similar colour theme through all your images; for instance, a gallery wall featuring peachy tones of white, sand, blush pink, tangerine and yellow with a combination of wrapped canvas prints and white framed pictures.<\/p>\n<p>As a general rule, try to start with bigger prints in the centre of your gallery wall and slowly work your way outwards with larger prints. We highly recommend laying your prints on the floor and playing with your gallery wall layout before you start drilling holes in your walls!<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know how to fill your walls with large custom canvas prints, why not get started today? Large prints can be more expensive than smaller prints, but they\u2019re an investment and will last you decades with minimal upkeep. Our prints all come ready to hang, so you won\u2019t need to worry about trying to fasten anything to the back of your canvas. All you need are some hooks, bare walls, some creativity and a discerning eye for styling.
