Taking Care of Wall Art: General Tips

The good news? Taking care of wall art is super easy! Our canvas prints are super low-maintenance, which means you hardly have to do any maintenance to keep them looking pristine. Most importantly, the care starts with the hanging process. Choosing the best location to hang your print will affect its longevity. If you have young children, make sure to hang your wall art in an area where they can’t continuously touch the surface of the print. Also avoid hanging your artwork where it will be exposed to heavy moisture or harsh sunlight. While our canvas prints are UV-protected and moisture-resistant, it’s always better to hang your wall art with less exposure to the elements.

How to Store Art

The beauty of wall art is the lack of commitment! Unlike other interior renovations, you can swap out your wall art at any time. As seasons and trends change, you might want to try out different styles of prints. That means you may have to find a special space to store your print. If you’re wondering how to store art, the goal is to find an area that is dry, cool, and dark. Avoiding moisture and heat will keep your print lasting longer. If you want to be extra careful, store your art in a room with no exterior walls to keep it in perfect condition. Dust your artwork every once in a while, to avoid debris building up on the surface.

What NOT to Do

Speaking of dusting your artwork, this is one of the crucial steps to keeping your artwork as good as new. Leaving your wall art to collect dust is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Giving your canvas print or framed artwork a light dusting every once in a while will make a world of difference when it comes to extending its lifespan. As mentioned before, avoiding heavy moisture is the other key to keeping your art at its best. While you can feel free to hang one of our prints in your bathroom or kitchen, ensure it’s not directly over a source of heat or steam.
