Wall Art Showdown: BIG Wall Decor vs. Canvas

There’s no denying that wall art can entirely transform a space.🖼️🏚️🌇 It creates a mood, asserts a theme, and can even function as a conversation piece. So, the question remains, which is better: mounted or canvas wall art? Let’s dive deep into the world of these two art styles and help you decide which one reigns supreme. Let’s go! 🚀

What is BIG Wall Decor?

From first-time homeowners to veteran interior designers, everyone knows that art can make or break a room. 🖼️ Between mounted and canvas wall art, there are pros and cons to each. In the beginning, let’s briefly explore what sets these two apart. Mounted wall art typically involves a printed image or photograph on a rigid backing, while canvas wall art uses a printed image or painting on a stretchy canvas fabric. Although they may possess similar visual qualities, the differences lie in their materials, production, costs, and more.

And, BIG Wall Decor is actually different. It’s an innovative two part wall art system that consists of a lightweight metal infinity frame and a SOFT durable fabric print. Our print had such vibrant colors that I’m not sure a canvas or print could replicate.

Benefits of Mounted Wall Art

Mounted wall art has its unique advantages over canvas. For one, it offers a polished and modern appearance, perfect for contemporary spaces. As the artwork is mounted on a rigid surface, it tends to remain in excellent condition over time without sagging or warping. Additionally, the smooth surface allows for a high degree of detail, so if you’re a fan of intricate designs, mounted wall art may be the way to go. 🏆

With BIG Wall Decor, you can be sure that the print won’t fade. You can also CLEAN it! It can withstand tears and scratches and you can see how the print stretches to be taut so it’s a smooth edge-to-edge appearance.

Another significant benefit of mounted wall art is its versatility. It can be easily customized to fit any space or preference, from size to shape to frame options. With the right frame, a mounted piece can seamlessly complement even the most eclectic decor. Plus, many mounted wall art options come with protective glass or acrylic covers, safeguarding your investment from dust, damage, and fading. Assembly was easy, and we are thrilled that we chose this Fishing by the Beach print.

Benefits of Canvas Wall Art

Canvas wall art has stood the test of time and continues to be a popular choice for many. One of its primary advantages is its lightweight nature. Thanks to the canvas material, these pieces are often significantly lighter than their mounted counterparts, making them easier to handle and hang on your walls. 🖼️🪂

Another significant benefit is its timeless appeal. Canvas wall art possesses a classic, gallery-like quality that can elevate any space. The texture of the canvas adds depth and dimension to the artwork, creating an immersive, tactile experience for the viewer. 🎨 What makes BIG Wall Decor a great choice is that it truly feels like a canvas in our home with the frame.

Here’s a list of some additional benefits of canvas wall art:

  • No glare: The matte finish of canvas prevents any glare or reflections, making it ideal for bright spaces. ☀️🚫
  • Versatile: Canvas wall art can be easily customized to fit any size or design preferences. 🎨
  • Budget-friendly: Canvas options often come at a lower price point than mounted wall art, making it an affordable choice for those looking to add art to their homes. 💸

Quality and Durability

Mounted wall art is known for its excellent quality and long-lasting properties due to its sturdy backing and protective cover. As previously mentioned, the rigid surface allows for a high degree of detail, elevating the overall aesthetics of the piece. Additionally, the protective glass or acrylic cover shields the artwork from dust, damage, and fading.💪

When it comes to durability, canvas wall art is no slouch. Its lightness and flexibility offer the advantage of being more resistant to damage from falls or impacts. Furthermore, the canvas material is less susceptible to moisture-related problems such as mold or mildew, ensuring your artwork remains pristine over time.👌

However, one drawback of canvas wall art is the potential for sagging or warping. This issue is more common with cheaper, lower-quality options but can be mitigated by investing in a high-quality, well-stretched canvas.💰
