10 Tips for Incorporating Whale Canvas Wall Art into Your Home Decor

It's best to keep the color scheme simple. If you're going for an all-white whale canvas wall decor, that's fine—it will look great with any other colors in your home because white is such a neutral shade. If you want something more colorful, go for it! You can use any color you want and create a unique space that reflects your personality and style.

2. Use it as a Focal Point in Your Beach-Themed Home

In a beach-themed home, whale canvas art is a great way to anchor the room. Whale pictures can add color and texture to your space.

The first tip for using whale canvases as focal points in beach-themed homes is to consider what kind of look you're looking for. For example, if you want to create a bohemian or coastal feel, there are plenty of styles of aquatic prints that will suit that style well.

3. Hang an Abstract Canvas Wall Art Piece

Pick a monochromatic color scheme. Consider how the piece will fit into your home and what other pieces you have hanging on the wall. Try a complementary or analogous color scheme if you want to add more color. Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel, while analogous colors are next to each other on the wheel.

Use a high-quality canvas. This will ensure that your artwork lasts longer without fading or cracking from exposure to sunlight over time—and make sure it's large enough to be noticed!

4. Choose the Right Scale for Your Artwork

When looking for a new piece of art to hang, choosing the right scale for your space is essential. That means considering all three factors: your wall's size, budget, and style. 

There are no hard-and-fast rules about how big or small a piece of artwork should be, but there are some general guidelines that will help you make an informed decision.

If you have a large canvas wall hanging that doesn't fit in with the rest of your decor, consider displaying smaller paintings or prints alongside it. This will give them more impact and add interest to an otherwise dull space.

5. Incorporate Whale Wall Art into a Baby’s Nursery or Child’s Room

When incorporating whale canvas art into your child's room, the most important thing to remember is to choose the right size for their space and the type of material that will be safe for them to touch. 

For example, if you have an infant crawling on the floor, then any type of canvas wall art will work just fine because he or she won't be able to reach it yet. 

If you have a toddler who can climb up onto furniture, then consider hanging canvas prints that are lower down near his level so he can see them from where he stands on his tippy toes (and don't worry about him bumping into them).

6. Create a Custom Whale Canvas with Photos or Quotes

Tailored Canvases has a collection of pre-made whale canvas prints, but you can include a special request when you order wall art. We’ll do our best to accommodate your request, including photos, quotes, or names that you may want to include.

7. Mix and Match Styles, Subjects, and Sizes

Mix and match styles, subjects, and sizes. It's okay to have a few different styles of whale canvas art in your home; this creates a cohesive look without having everything match perfectly. 

Mixing and matching is also great way to add some variety to your decor. For example, you could hang a large abstract canvas piece next to a smaller whale canvas piece or vice versa!

8. Consider the Importance of Lighting

Lighting is an often overlooked aspect of wall art, but it can make a big difference in your decor. 

If you get the lighting wrong, you may find that your whale canvas prints look washed out or too dark for your liking. This can be especially problematic if you’re trying to create a specific mood in a room by using artwork as part of its overall design scheme.

For example, you want to create an airy feeling in your dining room with plenty of natural light coming through windows and skylights overhead; however, when sunlight hits certain parts of the wall art, it makes them appear duller than others. 

To solve this problem, try placing lamps on either side of where people will sit so that they avoid direct light from sources outside (i.e., the sun) while still benefiting from ambient light throughout!

9. Go Vertical with Wall Art of Whales

Whether you have a whale lover in your life or simply love how these majestic creatures look, hanging a whale canvas on the wall is an affordable way to bring this design element into your home decor. 

Usually, canvas prints and framed photos are placed horizontally across the wall. But if you have a smaller space or a column you want to decorate, try hanging them vertically.

10. Add Smaller Whale-Themed Decors Around the House

Add a whale figurine. Consider adding a whale figurine to your collection if you’re looking for something small and simple that won’t take up a lot of space but will still represent your whale-themed decor.

You can also add a whale-themed pillow. 

Perhaps you want something bigger and bolder than just one item? Try out different styles of pillows that match the theme of the decor in your home—whether they are bright white with black spots or multicolored and iridescent like real whales!

If you want, you can add a whale-themed blanket. Again, this is another item that can do double duty by having two sides: one side with an image of whales on it (or simply their name), while the other side could be plain white, so it doesn't draw attention away from whichever other wall art pieces are already hanging in its place!
