Bold, eye catching canvas art has long been part of the furniture of the modern home, be it a striking piece of modern art or a classic scenic sunset. Now, however, there is the opportunity to create your own canvas prints for the ultimate personalisation of your living space.

The London and New York landscapes make great vintage images which decorate the walls of many abodes, but now there is the chance to honour the place or view dearest to you; whether it's a cherished holiday or childhood destination that brings back priceless memories.

There is no need to be restricted to any particular picture type either; it may be people rather than places, a famous person or pictures of your children you'd like to put up on your living room or bedroom wall. This could take one of two forms, a classic portrait or a photo montage where anything from three to 20 photos can be encapsulated in a photo montage which can be put together from as little as £25.

Any budding artists may want to get a little more creative with their canvas. A favourite effect used on many such pieces is to monochrome a picture and add a splash of colour to bring attention to specific features; many will be familiar with its use for items such as red buses and telephone boxes or yellow New York taxi cabs.

Sepia is another popular style used for canvas art; this can be perfect for adding a sense of tranquillity or nostalgia to an area. Both effects can be added to your print at no extra cost. If you still feel you need some inspiration there is a wide range of popular prints by famous artists to give you that little spark of creativity.

Personalised canvas prints really do help turn a house into a home and can make the perfect housewarming gift with prices starting from as little as £10.99. It's surprisingly simple to create your own artwork, just choose the photo you wish to use, upload it to the relevant website and select the size and style you desire.

If you don't envisage yourself as the next Patrick Lichfield however, a brief look at some of the other artworks on offer will leave you breathless. For those seeking a more anarchic piece then there is a wide range of Banksy works available, favourite of course of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

For a more of a classical approach, there are numerous iconic images to choose from. Warhol style portraits remain as popular and relevant as ever, often including characters from later eras than the artist himself, which will add a mass of colour to any room.

Great cinema or sporting legends can be a perfect way to bring character to a room. Inspiring images like Mohammad Ali in the heat of battle, George Best in his hypnotic prime or peering down the barrel of Michael Cane's shotgun can truly incite the emotions and never fail to inspire.

If it's a young family you are shopping for, then there are many kids' canvases to choose from as well, offering a wealth of colour to light up the lives of your little ones.

Geometric prints remain popular and can offer a more abstract alternative with a seemingly endless array of colours to compliment any home furnishing style. There are numerous sizes as well as styles on offer, from 6 x 6 to 40 x 40 inches, so even the smallest of rooms can have a slice of artistic influence.

So, anyone seeking to add a dash of colour to their home need to look no further for an artistic solution. Whether you're looking to create your own canvas art, or choose from the dazzling array all ready on offer, you need look no further and buy amazing canvas prints here.
