Feature walls are big news in the world of interiors right now. You might find blocks of bold colour or a single papered wall livening things up in the living room or brightly painted murals in a child’s bedroom; there are lots of ways to create a focal point that brings the theme of a room together. These particular interior techniques can be time-consuming and difficult to update, creating layered looks can often be difficult, so why not take a shortcut with the help of some customised canvas prints?

Our diptych and triptych canvas prints are very popular choices for people who want to create unique artwork to hang in their homes and can make an instant standout feature. However, today we’ll be looking at another way of making one wall the focus of the room by using layered or stacked custom canvas prints.

This post explores the type of wall art you can create by using multiple photo prints together and considers some applications of layered or stacked canvasses, which you’ll hopefully find inspiring.

Stacked Panorama

A personalised panoramic canvas print can be pretty impactful by itself but think about the effects you can achieve by using multiple pieces. As well as slicing up one view across several different canvas panels, you might consider juxtaposing different scenes or even building images of the same scene taken at different times. Mountain ranges, coastal views and cityscapes all look great presented in this way, which can add a new perspective to your artwork.

Family tree

Layered prints can be educational as well as fun. Think about creating themed stacked canvas prints that work together artistically as well as acting as a learning tool. You might want to follow the advice in our recent flower photography post to help you take a few garden snaps for an inside garden wall, for example. Another eye-catching idea is to create your own family tree by printing portraits onto individual canvas prints. Select which images you want to use and print in a range of sizes to create a sprawling tree on one wall. You might opt to mix up the sizes or use larger images towards the top where they may otherwise be harder to see.

Funny faces

Portrait prints can look quite serious, so why not think about creating something a little more fun by mixing different sections of your family member’s faces? Slice up individual images before uploading and then play around with the positioning of your customised canvasses when they arrive. To make things even more unusual, you could try using face paints and props and letting the kids direct a few shots. The results make a fantastic and less permanent alternative to a painted mural.
