The Adjustable Home Decor: Inspirational Prints and Seasonal Decorating

When you live in a seasonal area that actually sees the weather change – from warm and breezy in the Spring to hot and humid, back to cooler and breezier in the Autumn and then downright cold and snowy in the Winter – it can be a challenge to decorate your home because you’ve got to be ready for all the seasons that are coming your way. Canvas photo prints can be the decorating tool you need to make your home’s interior design into something truly all-season, however. Instead of being trapped in neutral, trying to be ready for the greens of summer, the whites of winter, and the reds and browns of autumn and spring all at once, you can use canvas printing online to keep your home continually updated as the seasons change. Not only does this guarantee you’ll be pre-decorated for all the year’s parties, canvas printing means you’ll have a fresh look at your house every few months, keeping the hard work of your design efforts vibrant and alive for you.

Seasonal Decorating with Canvas Prints: The Primer Coat

Step one for this approach to home decoration is, ironically, to go neutral – a little. Since you’ll be changing out the pops of colour and theme of your decorations using photo canvas printing on a regular basis, you’ll need to start off with a neutral and adaptable base to work with.

Start with a good range of base colours on the walls. Don’t, for heaven’s sake, paint the whole house one colour – but do try to keep all of your wall colours within a certain theme or family. One idea is to get some paint chip strips and choose a few colours within a few numbers of each other. If you’ve got a great eye for colour go ahead and be creative, but reign it in a little – you’re going to be getting plenty of colour with your canvas photo prints, remember.

Seasonal Decorating with Canvas Prints: The Theme

Now you need to make some decisions regarding your colour themes. There are always basically two approaches: Match, or Pop. Matching means your photos on canvas will take their base colours from your walls and you’ll have a sort of monochromatic effect in the rooms. This can be very pleasing to the eye, and it’s a very modern look. For example, an off-white wall and vibrant canvas prints of winter scenes on the wall can give a room a crisp, clean feel.

However, Match can feel a bit cold sometimes, or bland if not handled well. Your other option is often easier, using your canvas prints to create pops of seasonally-appropriate colour instead. In that same off-white room in the winter, huge beautiful canvas photo prints of Christmas decorations or wrapping paper might give the room some warmth while staying in season.

Seasonal Decorating with Canvas Prints: The Subjects

Finally, you need to choose the images you’ll be using for your canvas prints. The ideas are endless – the only rule would be to stay seasonal. For the spring, you might want a lot of bright colours – new shoots, blooming flowers, images of sunrises. In the summer, blues and yellows, water scenes and sand. In the fall, changing leaves and other warm colours. In the winter, snow scenes – or holidays, or even a tasteful shot of a crackling fireplace.

Be creative! Each season means something different to everyone. Whether it’s general holidays or personal anniversaries, abstract images or photos taken around your own home, photos on canvas can transform your house several times a year to always be fresh and in-season.
