Hi,

Today I've got some practical advice to ensure your wall art stays in top-notch condition. Taking care of your canvas art and prints doesn't need to be complicated. Let me share some straightforward and valuable suggestions to keep your art looking its best for years to come:

1. Dust Wall Art Often:

Dust can accumulate over time and affect the vibrancy of your art. A gentle wipe-down with a soft, lint-free cloth is all it takes. It's a simple step that goes a long way.

2. Mind the Sun:

While natural light is fantastic, direct sunlight can be harsh on your prints. Hang them away from direct sunlight, or consider UV-resistant glass for framed pieces. This protects against fading and discolouration.

3. Control Humidity:

Humidity levels can impact canvas prints, causing warping or other damage. Avoid hanging art in high humidity areas like bathrooms, and consider using a dehumidifier if needed.

4. Handle Wall Art with Care

Clean and dry hands are a must when touching your prints. Oils and dirt from fingers can harm the print over time. Hold them by the edges or use cotton gloves for extra protection.

5. Position Wall Art Strategically:

Think about where you're placing your art. Kitchens, with their varying temperatures and cooking residues, might not be the best spot. Opt for places with stable temperatures and fewer potential issues.

6. Enhance Wall Art with Frames:

Frames aren't just for aesthetics; they add a layer of protection. They safeguard against dust, moisture, and accidental touches. Find frames that complement the art and provide practical protection.

7. Inspect Wall Art Regularly:

Schedule occasional check-ups on your wall art. Look for any signs of wear, damage, or pests. Catching issues early ensures your pieces stay in great condition for the long haul.

Remember, each piece of wall art has its own story, and these simple tips can help preserve those stories for years to come.
