Canvas Wall Art: 5 Reasons Framed Fabric Wall Art Beats Canvas Every Time

When in the market for large wall art, there are a handful of options to choose from. Most common among all these, are canvas prints. Over the years, canvas has held a strong share of the wall art market. It is readily available in a wide variety of online and brick and mortar retail shops that boast a vast selection of styles. Canvas can be a cost effective option to other forms of traditional wall art, however it has its limitations.

Most notably, it’s the size. If you are going to hang a piece of wall art in your home, it is best to do it in large sizes to create the optimum effect. Canvas prints are typically difficult to find in huge sizes. Plus, even if you are able to find a big enough size the pieces are cumbersome and a hassle to transport and store.

Don't worry, though! There are other options for large artwork that put a generic canvas print to shame.

Introducing, framed fabric wall art - a brilliant and superior alternative to canvas. Read below and discover the distinct advantages framed fabric has over canvas wall art:






1. Wall Art in the Biggest Sizes Available

Framed fabric wall art is truly larger than life. Because of the advanced printing process and lightweight framing, fabric prints have the ability to display large artwork better than ever before. When designing your home environment, oversized wall art can be the focal point of the room. It is eye catching and can be a conversation starter that shows off your unique style.

Besides, when you’re displaying artwork, you want to ensure you’re displaying it in a large enough size that does complete justice to the art piece as well as the décor of your home. You want all the features and elements of the art to be visible, from any vantage point, not just when you’re poring over it from a few inches away!

Moreover, hanging a teeny-tiny piece of art on a wall only draws attention to the stark emptiness of the remaining part of the wall. So, instead of elevating the space, it has quite the opposite effect. Small-sized wall art can look unsightly, boring, and dull.

Whether it is hanging in the foyer, or prominently displayed above the sofa in the living room, framed fabric wall art is the best way to display a stunning piece of large artwork for your home wall décor.

2. Interchangeable Prints for a Fresh Style

Change is apart of life. Our tastes change. And what we perceive as cool style is constantly evolving.

Shouldn't the art on your walls do the same?

Interchangeable prints relieve the fear of commitment that many face with extra large wall art. How do I pick artwork that I won’t eventually get sick of? No worries, once you want a change for your wall art you can easily replace the print with something new. The prints stretch over the frame and slide right into place for an edgeless design.

3. Scratch and Tear Resistant Fabric

Imagine for a second that it is time to move again - a dreaded time that no one looks forward to. It is a lot of work and without fail, at least one thing always gets broken. Taking that canvas print off the wall and into that truck is essentially a death sentence. Canvas artwork is notably fragile and is easily scratched or damaged.

On the contrary, framed fabric wall art is printed on a heavy-weight woven fabric material that exceeds canvas in quality, and is much more durable. It’s so durable in fact that the prints can be changed from the framing, folded, and even machine washed without the risk of damage – none of which you can even think of doing with canvas art!

4. Simple Transportation and Storage

The interchangeable fabric is a simple way to keep your large artwork fresh and avoid getting bored with your style. In addition, it also makes the artwork easy to ship and then store away when it comes time to swap out prints. Unlike clunky canvas wall art, the large art prints simply fold up and are easily stored in even the most compact of spaces.

Similarly, the frames are easily disassembled if they need to be stored away for a time. The lightweight frames are designed for quick assembly and then taken apart for easy storage. That's the BIG difference.

5. Large Artwork in Stunning Color

A common occurrence with canvas artwork is a lack of image quality. Many sites to buy canvas art from ship from overseas and are mass produced. The poor attention to detail during the printing process often times leaves much to be desired with the large artwork's clarity.

On the other hand, in the case of framed fabric wall art, by using a premium fabric, these graphics are printed using a dye-sublimation process to ensure the colors and artwork stay true to their original form. The color quality and detail produce a superior image and are unparalleled by the alternatives for large wall decor.

There is also a backlit option for oversized wall art. The lightboxes shine LED light through the artwork, and illuminate a room to show off a stunning image.

Not all printed wall art is created equal. When you look at the options available for buying oversized wall art, there is one style that helps you win the day and get a great piece of large artwork.
