Landscape images can really brighten a room or create a calming atmosphere.
Depending on a few main factors, you may choose to have your photograph blown up into one large canvas print or broken into several smaller ones.
Here are a few tips for how to choose what is best for displaying your landscape image.
It depends on the landscape One of the main things to consider is what the landscape is of.
Some images work really well broken up into smaller images and displayed a few centimetres apart.
Other landscape photos suit being blown up into one solid image that covers an entire wall.
You need to consider if the image was broken into several portions, will there by continuity when they are placed side by side.
Another thing to consider is if there is something of interest in each portion if it was divided up.
If an image is broken up into smaller blocks, it needs to have a common element running through all separate pieces to bring it together.
For example, a series of mountains running across in the background, or a branch that extends across all canvas's.
By having something that runs across each image you create continuity, and it pulls the image together.
It depends on where you plan to hang the image(s) It really also depends on where you plan to hang the prints.
For larger spaces a landscape broken into several pieces can look stunning spanning across a plain wall.
On a smaller wall space it can look crowded.
Consider the size and shape of the wall when making your decision.
Also consider other elements in the room.
Think of the colours in the image and how it will compliment the colours of the furniture and other elements in the space.
You may want the image to be in black and white to tone down the other colours in the room.
The style of your home Whether you have canvas prints or framed photographs in mind, you should consider the style of the rest of your home.
Broken canvas images across a large wall can look very modern and stylish.
A large framed landscape photograph can look traditional and slightly more formal (depending on the frame).
A good idea is to look at the other images you have hanging around your home and how the new print(s) will compliment them.
Lighting The lighting where you plan to hang the images can have an effect on whether you should have one large solid print or several broken prints.
You don't want the images to cast shadows due to the way the light hits them and distract from the image.
Natural light on the images is also something you'll want to consider.
Landscape images can really make a wonderful feature in your home.
They can look great as solid or broken prints depending on the image itself.
I hope our tips have helped you decide on the best way to print and have your landscape image displayed.
