What is a canvas print?

A canvas print is an art reproduction printed onto linen or cotton canvas, then stretched over a rigid wooden frame. Unlike a framed poster, it has three-dimensional depth and looks like a genuine painting. The best canvas prints are hand-stretched — ensuring even tension with no creases or warping.

At Rossetti Art, every canvas print is hand-stretched over kiln-dried pine wood frames. The archival pigment inks are UV-resistant and rated for over 75 years of colour fastness — a canvas print built to outlast trends and last generations. All orders to Ireland are produced fresh to order and shipped with no import taxes.

Choosing the right size canvas print for your Irish home

Size is the most common mistake buyers make. The golden rule: the canvas print should span about two-thirds of the width of the furniture below it.

• Above the sofa: 120–150 cm wide, 15–20 cm above the backrest
• Bedroom above the bed: 100–140 cm wide, landscape orientation
• Hallway or entrance: portrait formats work best in narrow spaces
• Home office: medium format (60×80 cm) for focus without distraction

Use our Live Preview feature to place the canvas print at scale in your actual room — before you buy. No more guessing about size.

Finding the right style of canvas print

Abstract canvas prints are the most timeless choice — they suit every interior style from Georgian townhouses to modern new-builds. For contemporary interiors, geometric or minimalist works are ideal. For warmer, more characterful spaces, earthy tones and organic forms work beautifully.

How to hang a canvas print correctly

Hang the canvas print so its centrepoint is at approximately 145–150 cm from the floor — eye level when standing. Above a sofa, leave 15–20 cm between the backrest and the bottom of the canvas. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources to maximise longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions: Canvas Prints in Ireland

Do canvas prints fade over time?

Low-quality canvas prints can fade within a few years. Rossetti Art uses archival pigment inks certified colour-fast for over 75 years, with a UV-protective coating. In normal indoor conditions, your canvas print will look as vivid in 20 years as on day one.

What is a floater frame on a canvas print?

A floater frame is a surround where the canvas appears to 'float' inside the frame with a small shadow gap around it. At Rossetti Art these are handcrafted in poplar hardwood — available in Black, Oak, Brown and White finishes.

Can I hang a canvas print in my bathroom?

Yes, as long as the room is well ventilated. Avoid direct steam exposure. A poplar hardwood floater frame provides additional protection in more humid rooms.

Do Rossetti Art canvas prints ship to Ireland with import taxes?

No — all Rossetti Art canvas prints are produced locally for Irish orders, so there are no import taxes or customs charges. Free shipping is included on all orders to Ireland.
