Canvas Style Options for Elegant Canvas Prints

Canvas printing requires a combination of technology and creativity in transforming photographs into splendid artwork on a high quality canvas. What's good about having your photos printed on canvas is that you have display or stretching options to choose from. The popular canvas wrapping methods are the gallery wrap and museum wrap. This article will provide you a better understanding about each style and maybe can help you in deciding which one is suited for your needs and style.

Gallery Wrap

The gallery wrap is a well-known and commonly-used style. This involves stretching the edges of the canvas print around a wooden frame and the staples are on the back.  You may choose from black, white or continuous mirrored image border. A few inches classic black edge or a white edge can be added to your image to be wrapped on the stretcher bar. Canvas prints with black or white border will surely be an eye-catching masterpiece and the focal point of any room.  With mirror wrapping method, the outer part of the image will be mirrored to create the area that covers the outer edge of the gallery wrap. This gives images a unique and 3-D effect since the full original image is displayed and continues the image around the sides of the frame.  In short, the image is the frame. The thickness of the stretcher frame determines the gap of the image from the wall. Expensive matting and framing is not necessary. The end result is a stunning and elegant canvas print ready to be hung on a wall of any living space. 

Museum Wrap

Another way of wrapping canvas prints is the museum wrap. This method leaves the white around the photo. The photo itself fills the front, while the side and the back is plain white canvas. This makes canvas prints look like original paintings and is also a perfect way for reproduction of an original painting. This the way museums normally have their paintings on the wall. Most people frame this type of canvas, so this is a good solution if you want your canvas prints to be framed. Staples on the back don't show and the sides can be treated to the owner's personal preference. The sides can be painted black or some color that complements the artwork.

Whatever will be the wrapping style that you choose, it is guaranteed that your photo will turn into a magnificent work of art with the ideal canvas printing company and proper use of editing software.
