The Difference Between Poster and Canvas Prints

If you plan to have a wall decorating project soon, consider what to display on the walls. If you plan to hang eye-catching photos, choose between canvas and posters. Before deciding what to use, know the difference between canvas and poster prints. Let us take a closer look at their differences and similarities.

Posters – what are they?

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, the paper can be glossy or matte, and both can significantly impact the entire room. 

What are 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 resemble paintings, offering the same acrylic vibe. The canvas can be in polyester, linen, cotton, jute, or hemp, depending on your preference. Once the images are 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. 

The difference…

When it comes to their origins, 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 are pretty delicate 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. 

Choose what suits you

Canvas and poster prints also have their pros and cons. Canvas printing companies will promote their products and tell you theirs are better. On the other hand, posters can help create compelling walls worth flaunting on social media. 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

Customize Your Homes With Holiday Cards

Greeting cards for Christmas

Nowadays, it is customary to send personal greetings and messages to our friends and loved ones through social media. Many of us still need to remember the traditional way of sending greeting cards. Many Filipinos still prefer to make any occasion memorable by giving greeting cards. Significantly, sending greeting cards adds a personal touch during the holidays by sometimes writing hard-to-say words. 

Greeting cards have other uses besides keeping them in your storage. They can also be used to decorate your home, and with creativity, you can create decorations that will level up your wall design. Here, we have some inspiration you can use to upgrade the overall appearance of your rooms. 

Place them in frames

It is easy to transform your greeting cards into wall art. The simplest way is to frame and display them in a particular spot in your home, like a piece of art. Depending on the season, group them accordingly to create a theme your guests will love. Personalize them by laying the greeting cards on a large frame and adding other decorations.

Create a canvas art

Use a framed canvas and paint it with a color that contrasts the color of the wall. Gather all the greeting cards you have kept and cut out the pieces you want to use into different sizes and shapes. Attach the cutouts onto the painted canvas with canvas glue and hang the art piece. This will add pops of color to your room and texture and details on the walls. 

Arrange them like a Christmas tree

Gather all your Christmas greeting cards and arrange them on the wall like a Christmas tree. Add a star on top with gold, red, or green ribbons to complete the wall art. You will need washi tape, garland, and tacks in this wall art. These materials will also prevent any damage to your walls. 

Decorate the stairs

You may also include the meals you must prepare for Christmas Eve dinner, reunions, groceries to buy, and things to pack if you are traveling. 

Plan a reasonable budget

It is a fact that prices of commodities are increasing these days. It is best that you set a reasonable budget for Christmas. Set the money aside and do your best to stick to the allotted budget. This planning will lessen your burden during the holiday season. 

Don’t forget to send Holiday Cards

Some people may prefer giving gifts instead of Christmas cards, but it depends greatly on you. If you find this enjoyable, then go ahead. There are many Christmas cards available online and in stores. You can also check artdesign.ph for trendy and personalized greeting cards that suit the occasion. Don’t forget to get the addresses of the recipients and send them before Christmas day. Virtual cards are also trendy these days, and you can do so without spending that much. 

Start buying gifts

Buy food you can store

Start wrapping your gifts
