2-1. Introducing the ideal art space that can be created by choosing the size that suits your purpose and room
When choosing a canvas or poster, it is very important to choose the right size for your space and purpose.
living
For the living room where the family gathers, we recommend large-sized canvases and posters. They have a strong presence and will be the focal point of the space. If you hang them in a large space, such as on the wall above the sofa or TV, they will look well-balanced and create a sense of openness.
bedroom
Smaller canvases and posters are recommended for the bedroom. They create a relaxing space. Hanging them on the wall next to the bed or on the wall above the dresser creates a calming atmosphere.
entrance
The entrance is the face of the house. We recommend paintings in bright colors or auspicious designs. Choose a small size and decorate it casually. It will create a gorgeous space to welcome your guests.
corridor
A hallway is a long, narrow space. We recommend paintings with long, narrow shapes or continuous designs. If you hang multiple pieces side by side, you can enjoy a gallery-like atmosphere.

There are many ways to hang canvases and posters on the wall. You can use wall mounts, hang them with string, or attach them with push pins. If you are renting, you may not be able to drill holes in the wall. In that case, you can use pins or adhesive tape that won't leave noticeable holes.
However, be careful with pins and adhesive tape as they can also damage the wallpaper, so we recommend testing them in an inconspicuous area first.

We will introduce various installation methods so that even those who are not comfortable with the above can display their canvases and posters with peace of mind.
Adhesive tape
This is a simple way to decorate your wall without drilling holes. However, if the adhesive is weak, it may come off, so be careful.

Canvases and posters can completely change the atmosphere of your kitchen or dining room.
kitchen
Brightly colored landscape paintings and delicious food photos are great choices.
dining
For the dining room, we recommend paintings that stimulate your appetite. Paintings in warm colors have the effect of making the dining table feel warm and lively.
Study/Office
For study rooms and offices, we recommend paintings that will help you concentrate. Blue and green paintings are said to have a calming effect and help you concentrate. We also recommend paintings that help you visualize achieving your goals.

7. Do canvas prints and art posters deteriorate? Important points about materials and storage methods
Canvas prints and posters may deteriorate faster depending on where they are displayed and how they are stored.
Avoid direct sunlight
Direct sunlight can cause canvases and posters to fade.
In particular, western sunlight in the evening is the wavelength of light that is most likely to cause discoloration.
Avoid high temperatures and humidity
High temperatures and humidity can cause mold and insect damage to canvases and posters.
Canvas has the characteristic of easily attracting dust to the uneven parts of its surface. If left unattended, dust can harden and cause the vividness of the print's colors to be lost.
The key to maintaining the quality of your favorite canvas is to gently dust it off periodically with a soft cloth or duster.
7-1. Guide to storing things together for a long time, preventing moisture, and calling a professional
Proper storage is important to ensure the longevity of your canvases and posters.
When storing together
If you are storing them together, try placing paper or cloth between them. If you are tying up canvas, you can avoid leaving marks by placing a piece of cloth under the string.
Store it in the right place
A well-ventilated, shady place is the best place to store it.
If you need to store it in a closet or storage room, it is effective to raise the bottom with a slatted base or use a moisture remover (dehumidifier) to keep it warm.
Request a professional
If the condition worsens, you can ask a professional to repair it.
