Practical Ways to Integrate Custom Art in Your Home

Now that the days are clearer and people are walking about more, those for-sale signs are being picketed left, right and center! If you’re looking to do move into a new home, or do some home improvements in the good weather, we have some ideas below to integrate art soulfully and practically in your home.

Soundproofing Panels

Using a combination of canvas art and egg-crate foam creates the perfect solution for soundproofing a room. Our reference page  walks you through all that you need to make your rooms beautiful and functional at the same time. You will need:

-Canvas panels (upload your own pictures here for that extra personal touch)

-Eggcrate foam of the same size and dimension as the panels (found on Uline, Amazon, Walmart or Michaels).

Just put the two together and hang them up, and you’ve got an extra layer to keep noise and sound from bouncing around or reverberating through. Perfect for basements, apartments, or any area were you could use a little peace and quiet.

Custom Screen Blinds

When it gets hot, blinds allows sunlight to brighten the place without cooking it. Interior decorator JenChu has one made with contact paper with customized text. Using our satin-banner material, however, you can print virtually any art, photo or design on it, so your blind doubles as a fantastic, personalized art statement as well as a shade.

Our satin-banner material is wrinkle-resistant, water-resistant, and just the right amount of stiffness to be used blinds or a divider. Its grain allows light to filter through, while covering enough surface to provide shade overall. We also print with archival inks directly onto the material, so you’ll also have a wide gamut of colour to showcase all the rich details of your art, photo or design.

Wallpaper/SplashWalls

A couple of years ago, I visited Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, England, and was amazed to see this room, where everything on the wall was handpainted:

While you may not be able to afford personally patroning a classical artist to repaint your room with highlights of your travels, personalized materials for splash-walls are easy to make. With our adhesive Photo-Tex, you can print any design you need in strips up to 60” wide, and however long you need. They’re water resistant, easy to apply and remove, and best of all, leave no damage to the walls.

Print your favourite designs on the and use them to dress up any blank space. You can “wallpaper” the back of a closet space in order to create a splash wall. Do the same with Photo-Tex with your own art or photograph for a truly individualized and personal touch.

(Psst, if you’d like to reupholster some of your cushions with some custom art, we also now do fabric printing up to 60”x40” too).

Those are some of our favourite ways to pack some art with some functional use! Have any ideas of your own? Share them with us below! Ready to get going? Upload your files today!
