7 Expert Tips for Creating the Perfect Custom Canvas for Your Home

Looking to personalize your space with custom canvas art that speaks to your style? Whether you're printing a family portrait, travel memories, or your favorite quotes, getting the right look takes a little know-how. Here are seven expert tips to make sure your custom canvas turns out flawless:


  1. Choose High-Quality Images

Make sure the picture you choose is clear and high-quality. The better the photo, the better it will look on your canvas. If you're not sure, zoom in—if the picture still looks sharp, it's good to go!

  1. Consider the Space

Where will your canvas hang? Consider the room's decor, color scheme, and overall vibe when selecting your image. Whether it's a cozy living room or a chic home office, your canvas should complement the room's style.

  1. Pick the Right Size

Size matters! A small canvas can get lost on a big wall, while an oversized one might overpower the space. Measure the area where you want to hang the canvas and choose a size that fits proportionally.

Pro tip: Try a gallery wall of smaller canvases for a more dynamic look.

  1. Go for a Statement Piece

If you want your custom canvas to be the room's focal point, go bold! Choose bright colors, artistic shots, or an image that evokes emotion. Statement pieces grab attention and make a lasting impression.

  1. Opt for a Design with Depth

Images with depth, like landscapes, architectural shots, or detailed portraits, tend to look stunning on canvas. The texture of the canvas enhances these types of images, adding a sense of dimension that can elevate the artwork.

  1. Customize the Layout

Why stick to a single canvas? Consider a triptych (three panels) or a multi-piece design to add interest and versatility. At Whelhung, we offer a variety of custom options that allow you to play with layout and size combinations.
