Custom retro canvas print ideas

If you fancy something a little different, take a look at these awesome ideas for retro canvas prints – they’re a little like traditional canvas prints, but with a cool vintage vibe.

Retro canvases are a great way to remember a special moment between friends or family and you can customise yours to make it super personal! Here are some ideas for photos that will complement this unique style of canvas.

Birthday

We love a kid’s birthday shot of them blowing out the candles on the cake; set in a sepia colour-way for a timeless memory, you’ll be proud to display this in your home or it will make a great gift for grandparents!

On the carousel

These canvases evoke feelings of nostalgia, and what’s more nostalgic than the funfair! Get someone to take a shot of you and your significant other riding the horses and laughing as the wind sweeps through your hair – like stepping back into the 50s!

Baby pictures

A black and white baby picture printed on a vintage style canvas makes a gorgeous photograph; you can even add a little message below the image in a range of fonts if you want to mark their birth date and weight.

Sports day

Got a budding athlete in the family? Get a shot of them in full kit, preferably covered in mud; it’ll make a great canvas print in colour, sepia or black and white.

Prom

Make it a night to remember by taking some classy snapshots of your kids by the front door on prom night – they’ll look super on a polaroid canvas print.

Dancing the night away

Look for some local dance classes or performances – especially if they’re more classical styles that will lend themselves well to a retro canvas print. Images of dancing couples evoke a real sense of romance.

Milestones

There’s nothing more adorable than a snap of your kids taken at one of their personal milestones. Think first day of school, first school play, first judo lesson – whatever the specific theme, focus on those all-important ‘firsts’ for the most magical memories.

Wedding

Nothing suits these retro canvas prints better than a wedding shot – a snap of the bride and groom at the start of their matrimonial bliss will look gorgeous on a stylish square canvas.

Night on the town

Got any fun snaps of great nights out with friends? You can add a funny caption underneath the image and send a canvas to those included as a Christmas gift and a reminder of the good times.

Rollercoaster

Action shots look great in a Polaroid print, so try and capture an exciting image on a rollercoaster for some drama-filled wall art!
