Wall decoration: Which material should I choose?

Do you want your own photo on the wall, but you don't know which material to choose? At Big Freddy we understand that this is difficult to determine on the screen of your phone or behind your computer. That is why we want to help you make the right choice in this blog. At Big Freddy you can choose from the following materials for wall decoration: Plexiglas, Aluminum, Forex, Wood and Canvas. When choosing the right material, it is important to look at the type of photo and the space where you want to hang your wall decoration. In the following manual we make the choice a lot easier for you.

Photo on plexiglass

Plexiglass is one of the most popular materials when it comes to wall decoration. Plexiglass wall decoration is known for its sharp colours, which make the details of your photo stand out. The super image quality with a beautiful shine form a beautiful whole. The plexiglass protects your photo against dust, scratches and discolouration. So you can be sure that it will last for years.

Plexiglass looks great in living rooms with a sleek interior. Plexiglass is also an excellent material for photos of a view or photos with lots of details. If you really want it sharp, choose Plexiglass Fine Art. A photo on plexiglass is already sharp, but our fine art variant is even sharper. Your photo is printed with unprecedented sharpness, so that all details are depicted. Fine art plexiglass enhances the light intensity of the colours and the depth of your photo. Fine art acrylic glass not only provides a beautiful shine, but your photo also gets a 3D effect. Available in sizes 20x20 cm up to and including 200x100 cm

Photo on canvas

Canvas is an affordable way to still create beautiful wall decoration. The material is light and looks great in any living room. The canvas of Big Freddy is of high quality and with us, each canvas is stretched by hand on real wooden slats. It is available with a 2cm frame or a 4cm frame. In addition, we package the photo with care, so that it is delivered undamaged.

Available in sizes 20x20 cm up to and including 200x100 cm

Photo on Aluminum

If you prefer sustainable and modern wall decoration, choose a photo on aluminum. Wall decoration made of aluminum, also called Dibond, is of high quality and therefore lasts a long time. At Big Freddy we only work with the best materials, so even when it comes to aluminum it is of top quality.

Do you have a black and white photo that you want to print? Then choose aluminum, because it gives a beautiful effect to the wall decoration. At Big Freddy we have different types of aluminum that you can choose from, namely: White aluminum, Butler finish and Fine Art. Take a look at the product pages to really see the difference.

Available in sizes 20x20 cm up to and including 200x100 cm

Photo on Forex

Forex, like canvas, is the cheaper segment when it comes to wall decoration materials. Forex is a sheet of PVC and has a matte finish. This means you don't have to worry about reflection, which is ideal for very bright living rooms. The material is very light, which makes it easy to hang a photo on Forex on the wall. Your photo on Forex is printed by UV direct printing.

Forex is also suitable for outdoor use. This makes it extremely suitable for signs, outdoor photos or a photo for under a canopy.

Available in sizes 20x20 cm up to and including 200x100 cm

Photo on Wood

A photo on wood gives a tough and natural look. At Big Freddy you can choose from two types of wood, namely: Birch and Whitewash. If you are looking for a natural product, then birch is the product you are looking for. The structure of the wooden panel gives your photo an authentic look. You create a robust effect with a photo on wood that fits into any modern and classic interior.

The surface of Whitewash pine has a smooth finish, making the structure of the wood less visible. Pine has a tighter finish than birch, but a Whitewash finish retains its wooden character. The Whitewash panel has a thickness of 20 mm.

A photo on wood is available in sizes 20x20 cm up to and including 120x80 cm
