What Is A Canvas Art Print?
A canvas print is a picture that is printed on cotton canvas, and then stretched onto a wooden frame so that it is ready to hang on your wall.
Canvas art prints have the look and feel of an original painting, with the textured canvas material, but are a much more affordable alternative if your budget won't stretch to an original piece of art.
Traditionally cafes, shops and restaurants tend to favour canvas artwork as it has an authentic feel and fits well with their interiors.
With such a large choice of artwork available on canvas, from abstract art prints, to botanical art prints, to fine art photography, there is a style to cater to everyone's taste.
How Do You Hang Canvas Art Prints?
Canvas prints can be hung directly on the wooden back of the frame. At Abstract House, our canvas prints have an additional float frame included, and come strung on the back with cord for a luxury finish.
You can easily hang canvas prints using a screw fixing on the wall, to ensure it hangs beautifully for a lifetime in your home or office.
Where Can I Buy Canvas Prints?
You can find canvas prints online or in retail stores nationwide. If you are looking for quality canvas prints that are affordable, made in the UK and delivered right to your door, then you have come to the right place.
At Abstract House, every canvas art print begins as an original piece of artwork before it is reproduced onto 100% cotton canvas and hand-stretched over a sustainably sourced wooden frame, so the finished piece carries the texture, depth, and presence of a painting rather than a flat reproduction.
Because production happens entirely in-house at our London studio, we’re able to control every stage of the process — from colour accuracy to the tension of the stretch to the quality of the finish — ensuring each canvas leaves us ready to hang and built to last.
Our canvas prints suit a wide range of interiors, from bold abstract statement pieces to softer, more muted tones for a calming space, so whatever your chic home’s palette, there’s a canvas print to complement it.
And with the added float frame and cord finish included as standard, you get a genuinely luxury, gallery-ready piece without the price tag of an original — making canvas art one of the most versatile and accessible ways to elevate a room.
It’s worth knowing the difference before you buy, because not all canvas prints are made equal. Many of the canvas prints sold by large retailers are mass-produced on cheaper polyester-cotton blends, printed with dye-based inks that fade far faster under natural light, and stretched by machine over thin, unstable frames that can warp or sag within a year or two. They’re often the same handful of images reproduced by the thousand, with little attention paid to colour accuracy or finish. At Abstract House, our canvases are handmade to order rather than pulled from a warehouse shelf — each one printed on genuine 100% cotton canvas, checked for colour and tension by hand, and finished with a sustainably sourced frame built to hold its shape for a lifetime. The result is a piece that looks and feels like art, not decor, and one that’s designed to age well rather than needing to be replaced.
