Canvas vs Framed Textile Art | Two unique moods for your interior walls

Need inspiration for your wall?

You're searching for a piece of art that truly fits your space, but what should you choose? Canvas prints may seem simple, but framed textile art brings richer colours, tactile warmth and the power to transform your interior. In this article, you'll discover the key differences between canvas and framed textile wall art, so you can easily decide what suits your living room, bedroom or nursery best.

What is canvas art?

Canvas is a commonly used printing technique where an image is printed on cotton or polyester fabric, stretched over a wooden frame.

Pros: lightweight, relatively affordable
Cons: less sharp, ages faster, non-replaceable, usually no frame, flat appearance, limited emotional value

 

What is framed textile art?

Framed art is stretched tightly in an aluminium frame. At Artivel, we go a step further, we print on luxurious lightproof textile, so the frame is never visible. 

     - Richer colours and soft texture → adds warmth and depth

     - Flexible → choose your frame (black, white, silver or gold) and easily swap out the artwork

     - Sound-absorbing → textile reduces echo and brings tranquillity to your space


What feels more premium?

Canvas often looks a bit dull, with rough edges. Framed textile art is crisp, vibrant, and feels like a true gallery piece. Canvas is decorative. Textile art radiates quality and unites the room. Whether your style is rustic, modern or industrial, it adds maturity, elegance and harmony.


Why feeling matters

In the end, it’s not just about material, it’s about emotion. Canvas can feel distant, while framed textile art feels warm, tangible and alive. It gives character and a personal touch to your space. Replace that boring mirror above your dresser with wall art that truly adds something.

It doesn’t hang on the wall, it becomes the wall.
