Designing Canvas For Your Home

Designing canvas for your home is something very special. I am a baby photographer in Sydney and I really do believe that canvas for your home is not just a piece of artwork on your wall but it displays the your beautiful family portraits, your legacy. It is not just a home decoration but it is the spot where I know all of your guests will stop there and say WOW! It is a way we can tell our family and friends how far we have come and we are very proud of it. Spread the love by displaying the canvas for your home is classic and timeless. 

But How Do We Start?

Either you DIY or you have the professional portrait photographers have it done for you, one thing that is needed to be done regardless is ‘Design’. It scares many people when they hear the word ‘design’ and I understand not all of us are designers. But don’t worry! Designing canvas for your home is not that complicated and you don’t need to take the class for that. As a professional baby photographer in Sydney, I do design canvas for my clients’ home and I love doing it. So here I will take you step by step and I promise you, it will be easy!

Choose The Portraits

Before we even start the process of designing canvas for your home, it has to come to your mind first which images you love and want to display in your home. To my knowledge, majority of professional portrait photographers will show you your image gallery from your family photo session. Then you pick which images you love to create your collection that you prefer. And now that you have the desire to design canvas for your home, you must already have some images you love in your mind that you want to display those images on your wall. As a professional portrait photographer in Sydney, I recommend you pick some images you love and lay them out there in front of you. And visualise them on your wall, just roughly. And there we go, we shall start planning! 

Where To Place It

Where do you want to have them displayed in your home? We have to think of where we are going to place it or place them. Designing canvas for your home is important because it is your beautiful family portraits and it will be what everyone in the family can look at and enjoy everyday. Could it be in the living room wall? What about the hall way? Stairs wall is also a good place to show off your family portraits. Or nursery room? Your bedroom and your children’s rooms? 

The Space 

Now, once we have decided where we are going to place the canvas for your home. We will have a look at your wall. What we will be looking at is the colour of your wall, the vibe of the room with the feelings of the room decors and the colours tones. The bigger space usually means a bigger wall. The smaller space means a smaller wall. A big wall or a small wall can help us narrow down our ideas of how many canvases we need to fill up the wall or to match the space. Canvas for your home should compliment your home and should match your home decor.

Size Of Canvas

Next step we will be looking at the size of canvases you need to compliment your home decors. Now that we know where we are going to place the canvas and we know how big or small the space is, we can determine the size of the canvases. 

Put Vision To Reality 

To design canvas for your home efficiently, as a professional portrait photographer in Sydney, I highly recommend you use the mock up software or apps. Why? Because vision can be a little vague when communicated it out but designing canvas for your home on the mock up on the software or an app will help you see the picture clearer. The mock up software, for example, Canva or Framer will show you exactly how your vision would look like on your wall. This step will help you to see if you need to redesign or if you need to decrease the size of your canvas. Or would it look perfect for just a one large canvas of your family portrait on the wall? Or it would look much better if it’s a group of canvases on your wall. I highly recommend this step! 

Material And Quality

Designing canvas for your home is a big project. And a big project definitely means something very important and meaningful. You want your family portraits to last for a very long time so that your children and your grandchildren can also enjoy those beautiful family portraits. Certainly, you do not want them to see the colour faded on their family portraits. To make sure we design canvas for your home that last forever, we should also focus on ‘material’ and ‘quality’. To ensure this, we only offer premium quality artwork for our clients. As a professional portrait photographer in Sydney, I can assure you that my clients love their artwork and they love the high quality of their artwork as well. Of course, you can have your canvas printed at any department stores if that is convenient for you. But because this is your legacy and we really want them to last forever for your children and grandchildren to look at them and to enjoy them everyday, we want them to last. I recommend you have them done by your professional portrait photographer. Great news is with the professional portrait photographer, it usually comes with the warrantee!
