Any large, blank wall in the living room or front entry will benefit from a big, beautiful cityscape or landscape on canvas. Whether you prefer a back-lit, sunset scene with a skyline silhouette, or a view from afar of the hectic downtown rush hour, a wide angle photograph of your favourite urban locale will brighten the room and spark great conversation.
The beautiful beach where you spent your honeymoon, or the rural hiking trails your family frequents also make excellent canvas prints. Any scenic image with sentimental significance to you is a perfect option for filling large empty spaces around your home. And if you don't have such a space, a long slender panorama or a small 18x24" night shot from your balcony make great choices as well.
And if you just don't have space on your own walls, a skyline shot or mellow beach scene is the perfect choice for a housewarming, wedding, birthday, or anniversary gift!
PICKING THE PERFECT GIFT
It's always more fun to receive a creative, personal gift than a generic one. And it's usually just as much fun for the gift giver to pick out a really special, meaningful present.
There are plenty of ways you can figure out the best art-related gift to give. If you know you want to present them with a scenic view, you've already dealt with one of the tricky choices, but you still need to pick the best display option:
- Snoop around their house. Not into drawers and closets, but try to get a feel for the lucky person's decorating scheme. If they like delicately wallpapers and pastels, consider choosing an image with pale colors. Bold walls? Maybe an intense black and white shot to be sure you don't clash with the existing colors.
- Pay attention as you're being given the tour (or if you're there all the time, ask for another one!). Do they mention an area they wish was better decorated, or tell you about a color scheme they're planning? If they are regretful of a certain blank wall, try to sneak a measurement so you can order an artwork of the perfect size.
- If you're unable to browse their home, chat with people who know them well. Have they mentioned a style they have in mind for the living room (above the couch perhaps?), or a certain city or locale they'd love to have immortalized on their wall?
- Consider what you know about the couple when choosing the best photo. If they're nature lovers, a gorgeous shot of the mountains or a rainforest vista might be the best choice. For born-and-bred city folk, you can't go wrong with a classic and instantly recognizable San Fransisco or New York skyline.
- Don't forget to think about the presentation. Do they already have a number of unframed canvases hanging in the home? If so, you might choose to stick with that style, or choose one of our beautiful canvas floater frames to accompany the print.
- If you don't have access to the perfect image, or for any other reason you're unable to select a canvas print or frame, why not let them pick their own, on you! We offer Gift Certificates in custom denominations. We can send the recipient the code via email, or print a physical certificate and mail it straight to them!
