canvas photo art in living areas

I am so tempted to find some of our vacation photos and have them printed on larger size canvas to display in our family room and hallway.  I would mostly do scenic photos along with a few of the kids.  I am likely going to purchase through costco photo.  Do you guys like canvas photos as living area art??  I am hesitant thinking it could cheapen the look of our room, but at the same time think I may absolutely love it.  Opinions?

Re: canvas photo art in living areas

  • I did it with our family pics from when Rubes was born.

    I think they look good. I'm pretty casual but they don't look cheap to me.

     My photographer has them in her LR with her kids on a giant in color photowall and it's pretty sweet.

     

  • I did a really big one of DH and DS. Someone ran it through a Photoshop filter for me so it looks like a watercolor.  It's hard to see from the pic, but it looks really nice in person.  I actually think the bigger the better, it looks more like "real art."  I have an 8 x 10 in my office of the same picture (it was free with shipping), and it looks a little silly.

  • I always have canvas pictures of the kids hanging up.  In my last home it was a gallery wall in my living room and in this one it's in the family room. 
  • I just ordered a couple of DS on the beach last winter for my slow-moving gallery wall.

  • Use what you love and what matters to you. I think these canvas ideas are great. They are personal!

    Ohhh...I love this.  And thanks for the photoshop idea.  I will go large as our walls are huge and empty.
