How to Use Custom Printed Canvas for Standout Home Decor

Because bland decor is sooo 2010.

If you’re ready to brighten up your home or business with something truly unique, custom-printed canvas fabric is the way to go. Whether it’s bold wall art, snazzy cushions, or even a lampshade that screams personality, Mereton Textiles has got you covered (literally).

With our premium-quality Canvas and water-repellent Canvas Prime fabrics, you can print your wildest ideas—and the best part? You get to do the fun part of crafting (or finding a maker) to bring it all together. Here are some ideas to get those creative juices flowing.

1. Bedheads

Why settle for a boring bedhead when you can have one that’s totally “you”? Custom-printed bedheads are the ultimate bedroom flex. Think minimalist patterns, dramatic florals, or funky geometrics—whatever floats your boat.

DIY Steps:

• Print your design with Mereton.
• Stretch it over a padded board for that plush look.
• Staple it in place, mount it, and bask in the glory of your handiwork.

2. Cushions

Who doesn’t love a good cushion? They’re the unsung heroes of comfort and style. With our Canvas fabric and custom printing, you can go wild with patterns, quotes, or even artsy photos to match your decor.

Best For: Lounging in style, sprucing up your bed, or jazzing up your patio furniture.

How-to:

• Dream up your design and get it printed with us.
• Sew the covers yourself or rope in a local upholsterer.
• Add zippers for easy cleaning (and brownie points for practicality).

3. Canvas Wall Art

Custom canvas wall art is an affordable and stunning way to add pizzazz to any wall. Whether you’re into abstract splashes, custom drawings, cherished family photos, or a motivational quote, printing on our Canvas fabric makes your design pop.

Pro Tip: Have little ones with messy hands? Our Canvas Prime is water-repellent, making it a breeze to wipe off spills, smudges, or dirty fingerprints. Perfect for keeping your art looking as good as new—even in the busiest households.

DIY Steps:

• Pick your favorite design or create something unique—think bold abstract shapes, calming landscapes, or personal photographs.
• Let us print it on our vibrant Canvas fabric or durable Canvas Prime.
• Stretch the printed canvas over a sturdy wooden frame or mount it on foam board for a polished, gallery-worthy look.
