Can canvas prints be hung in the bathroom?

Canvas prints can be hung in the bathroom, but there are a few factors to consider in order to ensure that they will last and maintain their quality in this type of environment.

First, it is important to choose a canvas print with a protective coating or varnish. Bathrooms are often humid environments, and this can cause the canvas material to warp or become discoloured over time. A protective coating or varnish will help to prevent moisture damage and ensure that the print stays looking its best.

Another factor to consider is the placement of the canvas print in the bathroom. It is best to avoid hanging a canvas print directly above a shower or bathtub, as the steam and splashes of water can damage the print. Instead, try hanging the print on a wall that is at least a few feet away from these sources of moisture.

In addition, it is important to consider the lighting in the bathroom. Canvas prints may fade or discolour if exposed to direct sunlight, so it is best to avoid hanging them in areas of the bathroom that receive a lot of sunlight. Having said that, at Print Panoramics you can be safe in the knowledge that our inks on our canvas prints are not susceptible to fading and also our stretcher bars are not susceptible to warping 😊.

Overall, while it is possible to hang canvas prints in the bathroom, it is important to take steps to protect them from excessive moisture in order to ensure that they will last for many years.
