How To Hang Your Canvas Photo
Picture the scene. After an extended period of agonising deliberation to decide on the perfect photo, you wisely placed your order with 48 Hour Canvas. Today, there's a knock at the door. It's an unexpected visit from your Postie, and he's brought your amazing canvas photo with him, a whole day early! You excitedly rip away the protective packaging and bubblewrap to reveal your stunning photo, rendered in all its canvas glory. There's even a little bag of gold fixings - simply magical! But what next?
Okay, okay... We'll concede that we went a little over the top. We know that not everyone lives and breathes canvas photos like us! However, even if you nonchalantly opened your order whilst attending to other matters, the question remains - what next? We have found that the topic of how to hang canvas photos on your wall often isn't covered fully. There are, however, certain things to consider and some tips that can help...
Since you've already chosen your size (no going back now!), we'll assume you've planned where your new print is going to go. Hopefully, your measurements were perfect and a quick survey of the empty area will show that the canvas is the perfect size.
As an aside to the topic of canvas sizes, remember that it's not set in stone that you have to pick a certain-sized print for a certain-sized wall space. You can focus attention in different ways with large and small prints alike. A small print in a the middle of an empty space could make an intriguing focal point, just as an oversized print in a small area can give a wall-covering, wallpaper-like effect. As always, experiment! Our amazing canvas builder provides a great way to get a sense of scale. A good viewing distance is important, and the canvas builder gives you a good idea on how your chosen size will look.
So the canvas picture fits the wall, so now it's time to hang it. Hopefully, you will have added one of our purpose-made hanging kits to your order. If you have, everything you need is provided, and you will only need a hammer and a screwdriver. Start by turning your canvas photo over and laying it onto a soft surface like a rug to prevent damage. Then find the centre point along the top edge of the frame. Your hanging kit contains a plate, which you should screw to the indented ridge at this point along the frame using the screws provided.
Now to the wall itself. In your hanging kit, you'll be left with a hook and a nail. Now all that's left is to position your hook at the desired point on the wall. Remember that the top of your canvas will be about 2" above the hook, so you should position the nail accordingly.
This is where the magic happens and the moment of truth is finally here! The toothed edge of the plate you mounted to the print previously will rest securely on the hook. It will allow you to make small adjustments to get the print straight, and mount it completely flush to the wall. Voila!
So there you have it. It really is that simple and quick to mount a 48 Hour Canvas print!
