Get Specific
Escapism art is about going deeper than just generic landscapes. Curate your travel wall art with photo prints of the places where you’ve created fond memories or travel-themed quotes you hold dear. Here at Great Big Canvas, we started by focusing solely on landscape photography and pride ourselves on continuing to carry art which illustrates the wide range of travel destinations, from the lush beaches of Oahu to the rocky coastlines of Maine.

Tell a Color Story
Every destination holds a unique story. Make your wall art reflect your travel experience by using color patterns to narrate your travels. Pick a specific color story with your wall art display to bring the emotion you best associate with your travels into your home decor. Use vivid oranges sunsets and photos of yellow or red architectural details to evoke the warm evenings, spicy food, and exciting nightlife last year’s tour of New Orleans. Or try serene blue lakeside abstracts and green forests to recall the peaceful weekend at Lake Superior.

Create Your Own Roadside Attraction
While you may not be able to life that #vanlife year-round, it’s easy (and fun) to create a snapshot of a recent trip by pairing your travel wall art with memorabilia collections during your travel. Layered vignettes can be created on a handy console table, mantelpiece or any convenient corner. Mix and match your own photo prints with inspiration travel wall art, postcards, and knickknacks gathered from last summer’s cross-country road trip for more personalized home decor. You’ll smile every time you see the arrangement and it makes the perfect conversation piece for your next party to convince your family and friends to plan their next getaway. (Warning: If you get too good at this you may find yourself thinking “Wow, I can’t wait to get home and decorate my home with this new idea!” before you’re halfway through the trip.)

Escape into Panoramic Prints
If you’re drawn to the simple beauty of nature, reflect your love in your home decor by creating a simple, beautiful focal point using a panoramic landscape. A single, large-scale panoramic piece of art placed at your eye line in a frequently-used area of your home or office is the perfect window to remember your travels or inspire new ones! Try hanging an inspirational quote over the Rocky Mountains photo print in your foyer to spark the spirit of adventure as you head out the door or a sweeping aerial shot of your favorite California coastline on canvas in the bedroom to drift into dreams of travel.
