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
