It&#8217;s much more interesting than just hanging a framed photo, and you can get huge canvases that make a real impact on the wall. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to get special photo memories printed onto canvas, many photographic shops now offer this service, so you can probably find a shop that&#8217;s local to you. The prices seem to be fairly reasonable, especially if you look out for special offers. (Make sure you get the protective UV-resistant coating &#8211; sometimes this may cost extra &#8211; so your canvases don&#8217;t fade.)<\/p>\n<p>My canvases are A2 size (roughly 42cm x 60cm; 16inches x 23inches), which I thought would be huge, but my walls are large and empty and I sometimes wish I&#8217;d had them printed at twice the size. Big and bold is the way to go.
