How to Turn Your Photo Prints into a Gallery-Worthy Exhibition at Home

High-quality photo prints aren’t just for museums and galleries. Here’s how you can transform your walls into an elegant exhibition space with stunning photo prints that look like art.

Think About Mounting

What kind of story is your photo telling? Choose a mounting style that enhances the message and mood of your photo:

  • Unframed Skinny Canvas: Ideal for an elegant, modern feel.
  • Framed Floating Canvas: Perfect for bold colors and light-hearted images.
  • Box Mount: Adds depth and works beautifully for large, impactful prints.
  • Contemporary Framed: Great for polished, professional-looking art.

Explore our range of canvas print options to find the perfect mounting style for your photos.

Size Matters

Plan ahead. Think about where you want to hang your photo, the space size, and the photo dimensions. Always turn off compression options on your camera to ensure high-res images that can be printed larger without losing quality. For smaller, stylish photos, we recommend our Instablocks or canvas sets.

Edit, Edit, Edit

Before printing, spend time editing your photos to make them gallery-ready:

  • Sharpen and focus your images for clarity.
  • Brighten the image and adjust the contrast for a striking finish.
  • View your images on a calibrated monitor to avoid color surprises when printed.

Precision editing makes all the difference when your photos are turned into professional prints or canvases.

Crop It

Consider cropping your photos for an artistic touch. Focus on one standout feature of the image, and print it as a smaller canvas or poster for a creative twist. Thoughtful cropping can completely change the feel of a photo.

Fix the Lighting

When your photos are up, treat them like a gallery! Adjust your home lighting to highlight each print and give it its own spotlight. This will draw attention and add drama to your photo displays.
