5 Reasons Why You Should Make Custom Canvas Prints for Your Home

Studies show that looking at art can make you happier. How about looking at your own art that’s hanging in your own home?

Taking and sharing your photos are just small parts of participating in the Foki community. When you see a photo you love, you can even have it printed!

Custom canvas prints are a great way to add life to your walls. Not convinced? Here are our top five reasons why you should make custom prints for your home.

Custom Art is Unique

Haning a reprint of Starry Night or one of Kandinsky’s most popular pieces is so overrated. Instead, opt for a printed canvas picture that is unique.

It’s also just a lot more fun to browse through your own personal artist’s gallery to find a print that you want to print out big and bold for your walls.

Next time you have guests over, you’ll be able to tell them all about the artist (you!) and the inspiration for the print.

Show Off Your Art

Speaking of having guests over, what better way is there to make your art known than by showing it off to anybody who visits?

Showing off your photos in the form of a canvas print will help you make your art known. If you like the way it looks printed, then you can easily print more to sell at local markets or artists collectives.

Self-printing like this makes it easy to control your own budget and not waste money on bulk purchases.

They Make Great Gifts

Do you feel like you’ve run out of ideas of what to gift your friend or family member? A print on canvas is a great idea, especially if they were part of the photo-taking.

Commemorate a special day or fun vacation by printing a custom canvas picture of the best photo from that day. It will look like art but is more personal than somebody else’s rendering of the event.

If you want to get really creative, you can gift them the canvas print along with a personalized phone case. Check out this page for more ideas on that.

Canvas Adds a Special Touch

Instead of simply printing out your photos to hang in frames, you’ll definitely want to opt for canvas printing.

What is canvas print exactly? It’s a strong fabric made of cotton or polyester.

During printing, color seeps into the cloth and stains the strands of the material. This means that prints can look more vivid and life-like. It also adds a special touch in the form of texture.

This is something you can’t achieve with standard paper prints.

Custom Canvas Prints Are Easy

It takes a lot to get a print just right sometimes. Custom canvas prints are easier when it comes to the actual accuracy of the printing. Most of the time, they even enhance the look of your photo.
