Wall Art: Alternatives to Images

Decorating your home or even just one room should be a fun experience filled with creativity and experimentation – involving colors, textures, and wall décor such as canvas prints. For many, though, the reality is more about stress and self-doubt. A lot of people simply fear they have poor taste, and that when other people see their attempts at interior design or the subjects they choose for wall art they won’t be impressed. This fear of being judged can be paralyzing for some.

It’s important, therefore, to remember that your home is all about you and all that matters is that you’re pleased with the results. Accepting this can free you to try all sorts of tricks – including not using photos at all in your canvas art.

Leave Out the Images

When most people talk about canvas prints they have a natural tendency to talk about photos – family portraits, vacation shots and inspiring landscapes or pieces of abstract and contemporary art. And all of those choices can make for some amazing art and creative choices for your interior design plan.

But that doesn’t mean you must use images as the subjects for your canvas. There are plenty of other ideas that can be a lot of fun and very effective in decorating your walls and rooms.

WALL Art Alternatives

Here are some creative ideas for canvas prints that don’t use images at all:

– Text. A famous, inspirational quote or a favorite saying, or even something your grandfather was fond of saying could be made into an awesome piece of art. All it takes is a great font, a nice background, and the right color scheme and it will be perfect at home on the wall.

– Letters. A love letter between you and your spouse, or a letter from camp from your children can be photographed and turned into a beautiful and meaningful decoration that will tell your story to everyone who comes into your room.

– Newspapers. A newspaper from a significant date in your life, or that has a story about you or your family, can become a striking focal point on any wall.

– Patterns. Wallpaper, wrapping paper, or a blanket can be photographed and made into an amazing piece of decoration on the wall – and one that ties in perfectly with the color and texture plan of the room.

The possibilities are endless once you move away from the tyranny of assuming you must always use a photograph for your canvas art. Literally anything that can be turned into a digital image can become your latest masterpiece. Once you’ve decided to choose a bold new direction, click here and we’ll take care of the rest.
