What is a canvas print and why choose canvas in any interior?
What is a canvas print? In our collection, it is a ready-made design on canvas canvas that is already painted, so you don't have to create or edit anything yourself. What is a Canvas Print in practice: a decorative wall decoration that looks sleek, yet has a warm feel due to the visible texture. Here, you do not opt for a loose poster, but for a canvas painting that is already stretched and can be hung directly on the wall. Take a look at our Canvas Print, for example, if you are looking for a unique and ready-to-hang result.
Canvas Prints on canvas: this is how the canvas is constructed
Canvas is a sturdy material with a dense weave, making it suitable as a canvas for painting and as a base for wall decorations. Originally, canvas was made from hemp and later from linen and cotton, often with a flat weave that keeps the surface stable. As a result, you can see and feel a subtle texture of the canvas, giving it a natural look that is different from plexiglass, for example. With our canvas paintings, this effect is especially pleasing, because the design has already been worked out and the print plays no role: you get a new painting with character, without any annoying shine or reflection.
Photo on canvas: this is the difference with our designs
Many people immediately think of having a photo on canvas printed with their own photo, but our product works differently. You order a canvas photo from us that has already been worked out as a design: these are not uploads or edits of your own photo, but unique canvas photos that you do not have to make yourself. This is handy if you want the atmosphere of a photo on canvas, but don't want the hassle of files, colour correction or choosing a suitable image. The result is a stylish form of wall decoration that suits various living styles, from minimalist spaces to a wall with graphic prints.
Buy Canvas Print: quality, wooden frame and 2 cm thick stretched canvas
If you're considering buying a canvas print, you especially want to know it's sturdy and long-lasting. With us, each Canvas Print is made on high-quality canvas and neatly stretched around a 2 cm thick, sturdy frame, so it hangs tight and doesn't warp easily. That sturdy wooden frame ensures that the canvas stays nicely stretched and that you don't need a frame to finish it off. The combination of high-quality material, a solid finish and quiet texture makes it an eye-catcher that doesn't get garish.
Canvas Print formats and cut-outs: square, portrait, landscape and panoramic canvas prints
You can make a big difference with the right size and cut-out on canvas, especially if you really want to fill a wall. That is why our versions are available as square, portrait, landscape and panoramic, with many sizes so there is a suitable choice for every wall. Sizes range from 20x20 cm to 300x140 cm, with 80x60 cm being the most commonly chosen size; popular examples also include 30x20 cm and 120x80 cm. So if you want a large Canvas Print or even XXL, that is also possible, for example as a real eye-catcher above the sofa.

Where do you hang a canvas print best: above the sofa, living room or outdoors?
Above the sofa, a canvas often works best if you follow the width of your furniture and leave some space on both sides, keeping the whole picture in balance. In a busy space, a calm, stylish composition can serve as a finishing touch, while in a sleek setting you can make a unique statement, for example with abstract paintings. If you are looking for inspiration for a living space, take a look at a living room canvas print and notice how its warm look softens the interior. And if you want to hang your canvas outside, choose a sheltered spot and see what is possible with an outdoor canvas print, so that you can enjoy your decorative wall decoration for as long as possible.
Practical tips for the right size on your wall
First measure the available width and height and then decide whether you want one large work or prefer a more compact format that gives peace of mind. A panoramic canvas print can optically widen a long wall, while a portrait cutout emphasises height. Take the viewing distance into account: the greater the distance, the larger the canvas usually looks nice. If you are unsure between standard and XXL, it helps to mark out the size on the wall with masking tape.
Maintenance and finishing: coating, cleaning and options
A canvas remains most beautiful if you dust it dry and remove stains carefully with a slightly damp cloth. Due to the coating and fibre structure of linen and polyester, the surface can feel firm, but hard scrubbing is not necessary. Preferably hang it away from direct moisture and heat sources, especially if it hangs near a door or window. If you want extra finishing touches, you can order an additional frame or opt for a hanging system so that the canvas hangs tight right away.
Order your canvas print: large, gift-wrapped or with frame
Would you like to choose the right size immediately, from small to Large Canvas Prints, and receive the work ready to hang? Then take a look at the options for Large Canvas Prints and choose a cut-out that suits your wall, from square to panoramic. Easily add a hanging system, have it gift-wrapped in a pretty envelope or choose a tray frame for an extra-tight edge. Choose your favourite design on canvas today and turn your wall into a stylish eye-catcher.
No, a poster is usually paper and often needs a frame to hang neatly. A Canvas Print is stretched on a frame and has a more painterly look due to its texture.
Our Canvas Prints are already painted designs on canvas, so you don't supply your own photo. If you specifically want something with your own photo, that's a different type of product than our ready-made collection.
80x60 cm is the most commonly chosen format, as it is well proportioned in many rooms. For a larger wall or as an eye-catcher, you can also go towards 120x80 cm or larger.
