What’s canvas made from?

Canvas is a durable and robust fabric that was once made from hemp. Canvas is now made more often with cotton, linen and polyester. The majority of canvas prints you will find for your home are made from a mix of polyester and cotton. While color tends to soak into cotton fibers and stay on the surface of synthetic poly strands, it is more likely that it will absorb into polyester fibers. The main difference between canvas and cotton prints is the exactness with which the color is printed. Polyester prints, while cotton prints last longer.

Which is the best? It all depends on what you want. If quality is a concern, cotton canvas prints will be preferred. Polyester is the best choice if you are concerned about money and the vibrancy of colors.

Canvas prints vs. Framed prints

Mixing framed and canvas print is a common feature of modern home décor. You can create an original home decor style by combining these two types of art. The frame, along with its color or the style of framed prints, can tie together the whole room’s color scheme. A simple black border frame will keep the attention on the artwork or Photo within the room. A stylized frame will bring out the personality of the photograph. Framed prints can change the mood and tone of a room by altering the atmosphere. When framing prints, it is essential to consider the style and color choice of your frames. This will help maintain cohesion in your room.

Canvas prints, on the other hand, are more flexible when it comes to decorating a space. A canvas print puts the focus on the image on the canvas and not on the frame or border. (Unless you are looking to combine framed and canvas prints). Canvas prints can be added to walls without much more thought than a framed print. The frameless edges are flexible and can be used in any style. The canvas print style is vibrant and draws attention to the room. It also creates focal points that add life and color.
