Canvas is a strong and durable material. It provides a neutral backdrop for paintings. Canvas painting can be used in decor in many ways apart from the staple wall hangings.
Canvas painting can be incorporated in any room of the house. The fact that canvas is extremely durable makes it a good addition in your children's room. There is no lack of creativity in this room. From colourful doodles to graffiti, art by toddlers as well as teenagers can be proudly highlighted on the canvas. But for those who may not like painting, it is recommended to use stencils to transfer the design on the canvas. Some prefer to protect the painting with a coat or two of polyurethane.
Canvas painting is stylised and attractive and can be used to effectively brighten up the room. You can begin by creating trendy wall hangings with canvas. Cut out a shape that you like and paint some abstract or geometrical design with acrylic or oil paints. Take suitably sized thermocol and fasten the painted canvas on it with pins. With a thermocol backing, the canvas painting will get some depth. The wall hanging is now ready to go up on the wall. For the children's room, paint big life-size images of anything that your child fancies. It is easy with stencils. Giant cutouts of animals, automobiles, flowers and trees can be painted colourfully on canvas and fixed on the walls. Alternately, line the canvas with a carpet backing and create colourful dhurries and mats. This can be used in any high traffic area like lobbies and doorways.
For fun accents in canvas, try out innovative ideas. For instance, a valance made of canvas will look good when painted appropriately. Leave extra canvas for creating tabs and paint a catchy border. Cut along the border to create a bright valance for the room. Child-related themes like flowers, fruits, shapes and smiley faces can be made with the help of your child. Canvas valances or short curtains in the kitchen or the bathroom can be similarly painted to create a cheery and well-finished ambience. Another canvas accent for the room can be a bean bag or a cushion. Cut the canvas according to the shape desired. Paint it with a motif that is easy and fun to do. Sew it according to the design with one side free for the stuffing. After the required stuffing of thermocol beads or cotton, sew the last side securely. This will be liked by both children and adults. Another canvas project that you can execute easily at home is a screen to divide living spaces. You will need a frame, preferably tri-folding, on which you need to mount the canvas. Paint a design of your choice that is relevant to the overall theme. Mounting the canvas can be done by a professional who may use eyelets along the canvas sides to fix it to the frame with attractive fasteners.
Use canvas to create an effect similar to trompe l'oeil paintings. A room with one or no window can be brightened with an effective canvas painting. Over here, the canvas can be painted with a realistic rendition of the outdoors through a faux window. This can be mounted on the bare wall to create an impressive illusion. Try this kind of decor in places that need a little bit of brightening. Faux finishes can be given to canvas by clever painting, thus creating fabrics for designs. Faux leather, fur or animal prints can be painted to create fabric for slipcovers, false ceilings, and more.
