Poster Prints and Canvas Prints – What Are They?

Nuetral Tone Illustrations Collection Poster Bundle in Interior

If you are planning to have a wall decorating project soon, then you are probably thinking of what to display on the walls. If you are planning to hang eye-catching photos, you sure have to choose between canvas and posters. Before choosing what to use, know the difference between canvas prints and poster prints. Read on and let us take a closer look at the difference and similarities between them.

What are posters?

The display of posters is one of the most affordable ways to spruce up your walls. The designs of the posters are usually replicas of art printed on paper. Posters come in various sizes and the biggest can be a banner. In addition to these, the paper can be glossy or matte and both can give a big impact on the entire room. 

How about canvas prints?

Canvas prints are not paintings. Contrary to what many people think. These are images that are printed on canvas fabric and hung on walls. The surface texture may be similar to paintings and they offer the same acrylic vibe. Depending on your preference, the canvas can be in polyester, linen, cotton, jute, or hemp. Once the image is printed, they are stretched on wooden frames and stapled at the back. Canvas prints have higher quality images and carry every detail of the original photo. 

What are the differences between canvas and poster prints?

Let us start with the origin. Both poster and canvas prints are products of lithography, however, posters are closely associated with the initiation of chromolithography. Next are the materials used in both types of prints. This was mentioned above in which posters are printed on paper and quite delicate as compared to canvas prints. Canvas prints are sturdy, durable, and resilient. In terms of their prices, canvas prints are more costly than posters, since you are using fabrics of different kinds. 

Which is better?

Of course, both canvas and poster prints have their respective pros and cons. Canvas printing companies will surely promote their products and tell you that theirs are better than the others. Posters on the other hand can help create compelling walls that are worth flaunting on social media. In artdesign there is a wide range of designs available that can transform your walls. From black and white prints to personalized posters, there are trendy designs that will complete your wall decorating project. 

What is a Feature Wall?

A feature wall is a wall that incorporates interest and energy into a room. This is because of the texture, color, and contrast added to the wall. This can give impact to the overall appearance and feel of the space. A wall that is decorated with a color or pattern can create cohesiveness. As such, a cluttered appearance is avoided. Read on to know more about feature walls and how to create one in your room. 

Why create a feature wall?

A feature wall can give any room a focal point and it can likewise give a space a refreshing look and feel. The good thing about creating a feature wall is that you do not need to redecorate the entire room since the wall can already give something fresh to it. Feature walls can be added to any room such as the playroom, dining room, living room, and bedroom. 

Choosing a feature wall

In choosing a feature wall, do not just choose one randomly. Study the architecture of the room and see which one captures the attention naturally. For instance, the wall where the television is attached or the wall where the sofa is. 

Create feature walls with different materials

The materials that you will be needing to create a feature wall can be limitless. Traditionally, the use of paint is the easiest and fastest way to make a wall look fantastic. If you are looking for something with a blast, then you can use other decors such as trendy prints, personalized posters, framed photos, fabric, and others. Natural stones can give the wall a natural texture and a feel of sophistication. 

Why some feature walls do not succeed

Painting the wall with bright colors is a thing of the past. Remember not all rooms or homes need a feature wall. If the design that you add to your feature wall is overwhelming then it can be a distraction instead of being a cool room decor. Another factor that makes a feature wall a failure is if the designs are outdated. 

Therefore, it is important that you carefully plan and execute the design. Check out various references for inspiration. In artdesign.ph, you will see interesting images that you can do to your home. Check out the poster designs from the collection and start pumping up your walls. 

Wall Decor Ideas To Fill Up an Empty Wall

Whatever your decorating style, we have the inspiration that can add personality to your walls. There are endless possibilities when decorating your walls. With a few trendy and stylish wall decorations, you can make a house feel and look more like home. In artdesign, we have solutions that will complete your room decorating project. Read on to learn some ideas on how to fill up an empty wall.

Captivating wall gallery

It can be challenging when looking for posters or prints that will fill a blank wall. Instead of adding two large pieces, create a wall gallery. In creating one, you need to make sure that the pieces have something in common. Examples are wooden frames, neutral tones, black and white, or vibrant prints. This idea can help avoid mismatched and cluttered wall appearance. 

The rule of threes

In interior design, this rule suggests that groups of threes or any odd numbers are more appealing than even numbers. This rule can be applied in the living room by adding three pieces of bundled framed posters

Hanging shelves are trendy

There are many reasons why hanging shelves are preferred over traditional cabinetry. These shelves are sleek and can save up space that you can use for other things. The shelves can be used to display your favorite collections, posters, toys, books, and other decorative items. 

Add light with mirrors

With the display of multiple mirrors, you can create an effect that is not given by other decorative items. Mirrors can give an illusion of having a larger room and can reflect natural light inside the room. When placed across from a window, you will be able to increase the amount of light in the room making it look and feel more beautiful. 

Install stylish wallpaper

Wallpapers are not only used to cover the imperfection of the walls. These days, this wall covering can add style and personality just like any wall decor. The peel-and-stick application is perfect since the wallpaper can be removed without damaging the paint and the wall itself. 

Bring nature in

One of the simplest yet with a big impact is by bringing nature into your room. There is a wide range of decors to add, such as driftwood, dried branches, and the like. You can also add ornamental plants indoors as these will not only add beauty. Indoor plants can also help purify the air and minimize indoor air pollutants. A vertical garden is also a great way to give your home a touch of the outdoors. The natural color of the plants can also help keep the mind calm and relax the body. Nature-themed framed posters also give the aesthetics that you need. Add a few pieces to the wall of your bedroom or the living room and the effects are simply impressive. 

World map poster

If you are still undecided about what print to add, then for a map. Large-sized world maps can make great wall art. This poster design is timeless and comes in different varieties, In monochrome, the world map can give a rustic, classic, or minimalist vibe to your room. 

Textured Paint Accent Wall

Colored accent walls were a trend in the past. It is still in these days but with some improvements. Textured paint makes it look more contemporary and this can be done with the use of a sponge to add dimension. You may also use your brush which is dipped in two complementing colors. 

Helpful Guidelines To Spruce Up Your Walls

If one day you are staring at your blank walls and wonder why it is still plain up to now, then it is time to give it a boost. However, looking for ways to decorate it may be challenging at times, and the right decor to display may be confusing. For a start, not all can be displayed right away. Posters, for instance, maybe cool wall decors, but not all designs will blend perfectly well with the interior design style that you have. If you still cannot decipher how to decorate your walls, then this article will give you a helpful guide to be successful in this project.

Break the tradition

It is a common mistake for many homeowners to hang frames, prints, posters, or photos in symmetrical or linear ways. Sometimes we do everything by the number and follow traditional ways of displaying them. The beauty of these decors is unleashed by being creative with them. Try to experiment with colors, patterns, and textures and see which arrangement will suit your taste. Trendy posters come in different designs and styles and hanging them artistically will transform the overall appearance of your walls.

Check out the size

When you are thinking of decorating your walls and coming up with a design, it is important to consider the sizes of the prints, photographs, posters, or art. It is common that large spaces may be left behind if the wall art is poorly planned and executed. Scale them as much as possible to avoid any mistakes. Large-sized prints, trendy posters, mirrors, and paintings are often perfect to complement the space. However, the right size greatly depends on your taste and preference. 

Mix and match the decors

As mentioned earlier, we sometimes need to break the tradition when it comes to wall decorating. No need to display prints or posters of the same color or pattern. Although if you are creating a theme for your room, you may think of displaying same-styled decors. There are more eye-catching ways to decorate the walls. Experiment by blending colors, patterns, textures, and others. Black and white prints or neutral colors can enhance a minimalist design style. While vibrant posters can create a fun and cheerful vibe. 

Add mirrors for a magical effect

Mirrors are not only used to look at yourselves before leaving the room. They can also be used as decor and they sure will give a big impact. Mirrors add to the illusion of more space or a room looking larger than it is. They can also let natural light inside the room making it look and feel more comfortable and rejuvenating. However, do not overdo it. Remember that too much of anything can be an eyesore. 

A picture means a lot

We are so accustomed to displaying pictures of ourselves, loved, ones, family, friends, and pets. The display of framed inspirational quotes along with other poster designs can look great and add a positive vibe inside the room. Again, do not fill your walls with typography prints as they will overwhelm the overall room design. These framed prints can also help us, especially those who may fill a little down. 

Illuminate your rooms

Light fixtures are one of the decor elements that you should try. These help in boosting the ambiance and aesthetics of the room. In addition to these, light fixtures can help enhance the theme you are trying to put up. Use LED bulbs to save on electricity and these give the same effects and illumination as the traditional ones. 

Add smaller prints around the larger pieces

If you have large pieces displayed on your walls, surround them with smaller framed posters. The larger pieces can be the focal point of the room so that the viewers’ attention can easily be captured. 

Use fabric to cover the walls

Displaying tapestries, cross-stitches, and other fabric pieces adds style and personality to any room. Do not hesitate to hang them, especially those with cultural significance. If you have a talent for creating a fabric display, then you can feature them on your walls.

Over the years, posters have been used for various purposes. In the past, customized prints are only used as advertising material and to have public announcements. However, times have changed and these decorative materials are used as decorative items. Framed posters in the Philippines are beautiful in their ways as they serve their purpose of beautifying the walls. In many instances, one poster is not enough, especially if you plan to create a wall gallery. In artdesign.ph, we offer framed posters in bundles so that you will have more designs to display on your walls for more appealing wall art. Here are the reasons why poster bundles are terrific when it comes to home decorating. 

Wall art at its best

We have said it many times, plain walls are not the trend these days. If you want to have a better interior design style, then decorating the walls is a great way to do it. Stylish and trendy prints easily make any wall look more captivating. Creating wall art has never been this fun with the use of personalized prints. Choose the designs that blend well with the existing design style of your home. Black and white prints are recommended if you have a minimalist home. Bedrooms look best with colors that will help you relax and sleep. Thus, customized prints in cool colors such as blue and green are recommended to be displayed. 

Why create wall art

If you visit several establishments, like restaurants, hotels, schools, and others, you will see that their walls are not always left blank and plain. Although, there are still those that prefer blank walls decorated only with paint. Many prefer to have wall art that is worth flaunting on social media. Sometimes we neglect wall art when decorating our homes. With the materials we have these days, creating wall art is not as complicated and challenging as before. You just have to be resourceful and creative with this project. 

Personalized posters as wall decor

Framed customized posters can easily add style and personality to your room. With the designs available, you can easily add life to your room without sweat. We understand that most of the homes in the Philippines already have existing interior design styles. The poster designs available in many shops, such as artdesign.ph, can blend well with your home and enhance the ambiance. If you are looking for ways to add colors or depth to your walls, then trendy customized posters in frames will solve your problem. However, if you do not see the design that you are longing for, you can always create a personalized poster to customize your wall design. 

Poster bundles – a great choice

We know for a fact that a single large piece of a poster can do its job in beautifying the walls. Many people on the other hand prefer something much more. A wall gallery for instance needs several framed personalized posters to make the wall art looks fantastic. In artdesign.ph, we offer sets of personalized posters that can add a theme to your room. The baby room, for example, can be decorated with kiddie posters that have soft colors so that they would not affect the baby’s sense of vision. Nature-inspired poster bundles can easily make the room look more calming and refreshing. In addition to these, just like in any company or product promotions, buying two or more items can save you money which you can use in other projects.

Be Smart when Decorating your Walls

Display a piece of art

Adding a piece of art has its special way of bringing life to any home. A large piece of art will look great in any room and this can be the focal point. If your walls are big then two or three large art pieces can be arranged in a pattern for a delightful view. Art pieces can communicate with your guests and add personality to your home. Art pieces in a print can give the same effects as the original ones. The difference is that posters are more affordable and can be personalized depending on the requirements. 

Create a wall gallery

Depending on the theme or design you want, a wall gallery can be a collection of photos or pieces of art. Arrange them in any layout possible and the appearance will surely capture the attention of your family and guests. Many experts also recommend adding frames to the art, photos, or prints. Frames can instantly highlight the subject and blend with any interior design style. 

Display mirrors

Mirrors are often used in the bathroom or the bedroom. As a decor element, mirrors can create a visually larger room. Thus, this is perfect in small rooms. In addition to these, mirrors can reflect natural light making the ambiance more comfortable and relaxing. 

A traditional wall gallery in the Philippines

Try to visit a home in the Philippines and chances are you will see a wall gallery of diplomas and academic achievements in the living room or hallway. School diplomas and graduation photos are commonly displayed to flaunt the accomplishments of every family member, especially the children. We’re not sure when this practice started but displaying the kids’ accomplishments is one of the focal points of a home in the Philippines

Add sculptures

Sculptures may not blend with every interior design style but they can make any room look lively. Sculptures can be the focal point in any room and they add more personality than any piece of art. 

Personalize your walls with posters
