Products & Materials

What types of wall art do you offer?

Nova Creative Studio offers a curated selection of wall art designed for residential, professional, and commercial interiors. Our collection includes canvas prints, framed canvas prints, unframed poster prints, and framed poster prints.

Available formats and sizes may vary by design. Each product page clearly identifies the format being offered, the available dimensions, frame options, orientation, and other relevant specifications before you add the artwork to your cart.

Our artwork is produced on demand after an order is placed. This means your piece is created specifically for your purchase rather than being stored for long periods as finished inventory.

Whether you are selecting a statement piece for a living room, artwork for a bedroom or office, or several coordinated prints for a gallery wall, the product page will provide the information needed to compare your options confidently.

What's the difference between a canvas print and a poster print?

Canvas and poster prints present artwork in distinctly different ways.

A canvas print has a lightly textured surface and is stretched over an internal wooden frame. It creates depth and gives the artwork a gallery-inspired appearance without requiring a traditional protective front. Canvas works particularly well as a standalone statement piece and offers a softer, more dimensional finish.

A poster print is produced on high-quality paper with a smooth surface that emphasizes detail, lines, and color definition. Unframed posters give you the flexibility to select your own frame, while framed posters arrive as a more complete presentation with a protective front and hanging hardware.

Neither format is universally better. Canvas is often preferred for a substantial, ready-to-display look, while posters are ideal for crisp presentation, coordinated gallery walls, and customers who want greater framing flexibility.

What materials are used to produce your wall art?

The materials depend on the format selected.

Our canvas artwork is printed on satin-finish canvas, which provides a subtle texture and semi-matte appearance that helps reduce excessive glare. After printing, the canvas is carefully stretched over a sturdy pine frame to maintain a smooth and properly tensioned surface.

Our poster artwork is printed on thick, high-quality paper selected to provide a refined matte presentation and strong image reproduction. Framed poster configurations may include a wooden frame, a lightweight protective front, and hanging hardware. Exact frame construction can vary according to the selected product, frame color, size, and fulfillment region.

Because specifications can differ between product formats, the most precise material information is always provided on the individual product page. We recommend reviewing those details before purchasing when a particular finish, frame material, or presentation style is important to your project.

Does framed artwork arrive ready to hang?

Most framed artwork and canvas configurations are designed to arrive ready for display or with the necessary hanging hardware included.

Framed poster products generally include hanging hardware, while thin canvas configurations may include built-in wall mounts and protective pads. Hardware and mounting arrangements can vary by product type, size, orientation, and production location, so the applicable product page should always be reviewed for the exact configuration.

Before installation, carefully unpack and inspect the artwork. Make sure the wall fastener or anchor you use is appropriate for the artwork's weight and for the construction of your wall, whether it is drywall, masonry, concrete, or another surface.

Nova Creative Studio does not provide structural installation services, and the hardware supplied with the artwork may not be suitable for every wall type. When necessary, consult a qualified installer or use mounting hardware specifically rated for your wall and the weight of the piece.

Will the printed colors look exactly like they do on my screen?

We make every reasonable effort to represent each artwork accurately, but an exact match between a digital screen and a physical print cannot be guaranteed.

Phones, tablets, and computer monitors display color using emitted light. Printed artwork reflects the light in the room. Screen brightness, calibration, display technology, color settings, and viewing conditions can therefore affect how an image appears before purchase.

The appearance of the finished artwork can also change slightly under warm indoor lighting, cool lighting, strong daylight, or shadows. Canvas texture and matte poster surfaces interact with light differently, which may create subtle variations in perceived contrast or saturation.

Small differences in color, brightness, and tone are normal in professional printing and are not generally considered defects. For the most balanced preview, view product images on a well-calibrated screen with brightness set to a moderate level rather than maximum brightness.

Will my artwork fade over time?

Our wall art is produced using professional printing processes intended for indoor decorative display. However, all printed materials can gradually change when exposed to unfavorable environmental conditions for extended periods.

To preserve the appearance of your artwork, avoid placing it where it will receive continuous direct sunlight. Strong ultraviolet exposure can affect printed colors over time. The artwork should also be kept away from excessive humidity, condensation, extreme temperatures, fireplaces, heating vents, and areas where it may come into direct contact with water.

Normal indirect daylight and standard indoor lighting are generally appropriate. In particularly bright rooms, consider placing the artwork on a wall that does not receive direct afternoon sun or using window coverings that reduce prolonged ultraviolet exposure.

Proper placement and routine care will help maintain the artwork's appearance for as long as possible.

How should I clean and care for my artwork?

Wall art requires only light, occasional maintenance.

For canvas artwork, use a clean, soft, dry microfiber cloth or a very soft duster to remove surface dust. Apply minimal pressure and avoid rubbing the printed surface aggressively. Do not use water, household cleaners, alcohol, solvents, abrasive sponges, or cleaning sprays directly on the canvas.

For framed poster artwork, dust the frame and protective front gently with a soft cloth. When additional cleaning is necessary, apply a small amount of an appropriate cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying it directly onto the frame or protective surface. Keep all liquids away from the edges, backing, and printed paper.

Handle the artwork with clean, dry hands and support it from both sides when moving it. Avoid storing or displaying it in damp locations, bathrooms with heavy condensation, or areas exposed to significant temperature changes.

Are your products environmentally responsible?

Our made-to-order production model helps reduce the overproduction commonly associated with manufacturing large quantities of finished inventory before customer demand is known.

Each piece is produced only after an order has been placed. This approach can reduce excess stock and the waste created when unsold products must be stored, discounted, or discarded.

Packaging is selected according to the artwork type, dimensions, destination, and available materials at the fulfillment location. Posters may be shipped in rigid mailing containers or stay-flat packaging, while framed artwork and canvas pieces generally require protective boxes and additional cushioning. Some packaging materials incorporate recycled content, but packaging is not universally plastic-free and can vary by region.

We believe responsible communication is as important as responsible production. For that reason, we avoid claiming that every product, component, or shipment is fully sustainable. We continue to favor production and fulfillment practices that balance product protection, quality, and waste reduction.

Sizing & Choosing Artwork

How do I choose the right artwork size for my space?

The right artwork size depends on the wall, the furniture below it, the viewing distance, and the visual impact you want to create.

Large walls generally need substantial artwork or a coordinated group of pieces. Artwork that is too small can appear disconnected from the surrounding furniture, while a larger piece often creates a more intentional and balanced focal point.

Before ordering, measure both the available wall area and any furniture positioned beneath it. Consider nearby windows, doors, lamps, shelves, molding, and other elements that may reduce the usable space.

A practical way to preview the scale is to outline the listed artwork dimensions on your wall using removable painter's tape. Step back and view the outline from different parts of the room. This allows you to evaluate the size, orientation, and placement before making your purchase.

Always review the dimensions shown on the individual product page, as available sizes may vary according to the artwork and format selected.

How should I measure my wall before ordering?

Begin by measuring the total width and height of the wall area where the artwork will be displayed. Then measure the furniture below it, such as a sofa, bed, console table, desk, or cabinet.

Do not use the entire wall measurement automatically. Identify the actual display area by accounting for doors, windows, light switches, wall vents, lamps, shelves, architectural molding, and other nearby objects.

Next, compare the available area with the dimensions listed on the product page. Pay attention to whether the artwork is portrait, landscape, or square, since orientation can affect the balance of the room as much as overall size.

We strongly recommend creating a temporary wall outline with removable painter's tape or paper templates. Use the exact listed dimensions, view the outline from your normal seating or standing position, and confirm that the piece has sufficient visual space around it.

Measure twice before ordering. Product dimensions should be reviewed carefully because the appearance of a size on a screen can be difficult to judge without comparing it with the physical wall.

What size artwork works best above a sofa?

Artwork displayed above a sofa should feel visually connected to the furniture rather than appearing too small or extending significantly beyond it.

As a general decorating guideline, a single artwork or the total width of a grouped arrangement often looks balanced when it measures approximately 60 to 75 percent of the sofa's width. This is not a strict rule, but it provides a useful starting point.

Center the artwork over the sofa itself, not necessarily across the entire wall. When possible, leave approximately 6 to 10 inches between the top of the sofa and the bottom of the artwork. This helps the furniture and artwork read as one coordinated composition.

For a wide sofa, one large landscape piece can create a strong focal point. A pair, triptych, or gallery arrangement can also work well when the combined dimensions remain proportional to the sofa.

Use painter's tape to test the complete outer dimensions before ordering, particularly when combining multiple pieces.

What size artwork works best above a bed?

Artwork above a bed should be selected in relation to the width of the bed or headboard rather than the full width of the wall.

A piece or grouped arrangement measuring approximately 60 to 80 percent of the bed or headboard width often creates a balanced result. A large horizontal artwork works particularly well above queen and king beds, while two or three coordinated vertical pieces can create a more structured composition.

Center the arrangement over the bed. When a headboard is present, leaving approximately 6 to 10 inches between the headboard and the bottom of the artwork usually creates a visual connection without making the area feel crowded.

Also consider ceiling height, bedside lamps, wall sconces, and decorative pillows. The artwork should have enough surrounding space to remain visually distinct from these elements.

For safety, use mounting hardware appropriate for the wall construction and the artwork's weight. Make sure the piece is securely installed, particularly when it is positioned directly above a sleeping area.

Should I choose portrait, landscape, or square artwork?

The best orientation depends primarily on the shape of the available wall and the furniture or architectural elements surrounding it.

Landscape artwork works well above wide furniture such as sofas, beds, dining benches, desks, and consoles. Its horizontal proportions help create continuity across a broad area.

Portrait artwork is effective on narrow walls, beside doors or windows, between bookcases, in hallways, or above smaller furniture. It can also emphasize ceiling height and draw the eye upward.

Square artwork offers a balanced and versatile format. It works well in compact spaces, as a standalone focal point, or as part of a symmetrical gallery arrangement.

Consider the negative space around the artwork rather than attempting to fill every available inch. The orientation should complement the wall's proportions while leaving enough open space for the artwork to feel intentional and properly framed by the room.

Can I create a gallery wall with your artwork?

Yes. Posters, framed prints, and selected canvas pieces can be combined to create a coordinated gallery wall.

Begin by choosing a common visual connection between the pieces. This may be a shared color palette, artistic style, subject, frame color, or collection. The individual artworks do not need to be identical, but they should feel intentional when viewed together.

Plan the complete arrangement before installing anything. Place the artwork on the floor or create paper templates representing each size. Test several compositions and photograph the preferred arrangement before transferring it to the wall.

Consistent spacing helps separate pieces while keeping the collection visually unified. Approximately 2 to 4 inches between frames is a useful starting point, although larger artwork may benefit from slightly more space.

Treat the entire arrangement as one large artwork. Center the complete composition over the furniture or within the available wall area rather than centering each individual piece separately.

Do you provide a size guide?

Yes. Nova Creative Studio provides practical sizing guidance to help you compare dimensions and visualize how different formats may appear in your space.

Each product page lists the sizes currently available for that specific artwork and format. Because canvas prints, posters, framed prints, and framed canvas products may have different size options, always rely on the measurements displayed on the product page you are purchasing from.

Our sizing resources and articles in The Nova Journal also provide decorating guidance for common placements, including artwork above sofas, beds, desks, consoles, and other furniture.

Before ordering, compare the listed dimensions with your wall using painter's tape or paper templates. This remains the most reliable way to understand how the artwork will look in your particular room.

If you remain uncertain between two sizes, our customer care team can help you evaluate the available options. Include the wall measurements, furniture width, preferred artwork, and a photograph of the space when contacting us.
