A photo on canvas is a timeless way to bring memories or artworks to life on your wall. But how do you get a final result that is truly spectacular? In this article we share our best tips for the perfect canvas.
1. Choose the right photo
Not every photo is suited to canvas. Pay attention to these aspects:
- Resolution - The higher the resolution, the sharper the print will be. Preferably use photos of at least 300 DPI. At MakeMeFamous we automatically bring your AI portraits up to the optimal resolution, so you don't have to worry about it.
- Lighting - Well-lit photos give the most beautiful results. Avoid underexposed or overexposed photos, because they lose detail on canvas.
- Composition - Keep the edges of the canvas in mind. With a gallery wrap the edges of the image continue around the sides.
2. Choose the right size
The dimensions of your canvas make a big difference to the effect it has on the wall:
- Small (30x40 cm) - Ideal as a subtle accent or as part of a gallery wall with several works.
- Medium (50x70 cm) - The most popular choice. Big enough to make an impression, yet suited to practically any room.
- Large (70x100 cm and up) - A real statement piece. Perfect above a sofa or a bed, as the focal point of the room.
Tip: measure your wall
Before you order, measure the space available on the wall. Allow for at least 15 centimetres of space on each side, for a balanced whole. A canvas that is too big in a small room can feel overwhelming, while one that is too small risks getting lost.
3. Where should you hang your canvas?
The position affects how your canvas looks and how long it lasts:
- Avoid direct sunlight - Prolonged exposure to UV rays can make the colours fade.
- Avoid damp rooms - Bathrooms and kitchens are not ideal because of the humidity.
- Height - Hang the canvas at eye level, as a rule with the centre around 150 cm from the floor.
4. The MakeMeFamous quality guarantee
