Choosing between Framed Art Prints and Framed Canvas Prints - What’s Right for Your Wall?

When it comes to decorating your space, wall art plays a powerful role. But one question we often get at Wallstuck is:

“Should I choose a framed art print or a framed canvas print?”

Both options add beauty and personality to your walls — but they each have their own charm, style, and purpose. Let’s help you decide!

 

🎨 What Is a Framed Art Print?

Framed art prints are digitally printed artworks (usually on premium paper) placed inside a frame with a glass or acrylic front. They often come with a backing board and mounting hardware.

✅ Best For:

• Modern, minimalistic interiors

• Office or gallery walls

• Gifting (lightweight, elegant)

✨ Why You’ll Love Them:

• Sharp details and rich colors

• Sleek, polished look with glass protection

• Affordable and easy to style

🖌 What Is a Framed Canvas Print?

Canvas prints are printed on cotton or poly-cotton canvas, stretched and mounted onto a wooden frame (with or without a float frame). They give a more textured, hand-painted look.

✅ Best For:

• Cozy, rustic, or boho homes

• Bedrooms, reading corners, cafes

• Large statement pieces

✨ Why You’ll Love Them:

• Looks like a real painting

• No glass glare – great for rooms with natural light

• Adds warmth and depth to your wall

 

🎯 So… Which One Should You Pick?

💡 Our Tip from Wallstuck:

If you love a clean, contemporary look and want affordable options for a gallery wall — go for framed art prints.

If you’re styling a cozy home or want a painting-like finish, canvas prints bring depth and texture like nothing else.
