Choosing The Right Canvas Prints For Your Cafe

Decorating or changing the theme of your cafe is a big task that can change the entire atmosphere, which is why choosing the right canvas prints is essential. Do you make canvas prints a feature? Should they dominate the space or be subtle? Do you want them to be conversation pieces? Is it better to have them compliment or contrast with the overall design?

This week we’re going to explore this key part of your cafe refit or upgrade...

Canvas prints work great in a cafe because they’re so hard-wearing and lightweight, which is especially useful if your walls are resistant to drilling. They’re easy to wipe clean and resist fading, keeping their vibrancy for years – ideal for a cafe!

Choosing the right canvas prints should be a fun exercise, but if you’re stuck we’ve thought up a few ideas that we think will work great in a cafe environment:

Have some professional photos taken of the food you serve and create a “menu wall” in canvas prints.

Create profile pictures of the staff for the wall – this is a great way to show a friendly face to your customers.

Search old picture archives for historical images of the area, or even the premises itself, to show the history of the place.

Why not try printing your menu to bespoke sized canvases then standing them up on each table?

Use stock photo sites to find images that match the theme of your cafe.

Reflect your surroundings e.g. sea images if you’re by the coast, or rolling hills etc.

Decorate your cafe in neutral colours and create big and bold canvases that reflect the time of year. You can change these with the seasons as a talking point for your customers.

Amateur photographer? Why not try selling some of your own work on canvas in your cafe!

How are your Photoshop skills? Try creating quirky posters with food or drink related puns or jokes – these always go down well with customers!

 

These are just a few ideas for using the wall space in your cafe, but the only limit is your imagination, and that’s the exciting part!
