Hey earth muffins! Today I will be reviewing a gifted item from Photowall for you all! ๐ When they reached out to me I was excited for two reasons: 1) our second bedroom/office has absolutely no decor on the walls and 2) the company actively strives to reduce their impact on the planet (will discuss more on that later!). After searching through their wallpaper, canvas, and poster selections, my boyfriend and I agreed on a delightful outer space canvas print. Here are my thoughts on Photowall!
What I Love About the Company
To start off, I’d like to applaud the company for its sustainability efforts. They make absolutely no inventory; when you order a product, they custom make it just for you. This is awesome because it prevents any waste from being created if no one purchases a certain item. The ink they use is biodegradable and any waste created in the production process is recycled by Hans Andersson Recycling AB. I also love that they work with a Swedish coop to plant thousands of trees each year!
There are also SO many designs to choose from! This is another huge bonus of them not holding any stock, as the consumer gets exactly the image you are looking for. You can search for anything from nature to city landscapes, and they will have it in wallpaper, poster, or as a canvas print. So awesome! ๐ Because our second bedroom holds all of my boyfriend’s gaming/computer equipment, we wanted to go for a “man-cave” vibe. Space seemed pretty fitting for that; there were a lot of options to look through in this category too.
If for some reason you aren’t finding exactly what you are looking for, you can also customize an image they already have OR send in your own images! I was pretty tempted to get a huge photo of my boyfriend and I, but he didn’t seem that interested in the idea. ๐
Lastly, you can size the photo into whatever fits your wall the best. Because we wanted ours to run almost the full length of the futon, we chose the biggest size (which totaled $132). When you are figuring out the perfect measurement, you can also move the image around so that it is cropped to your liking. I loved that you could make it your own; another plus of the company not holding pre-made inventory!
What I Love About Our Photowall Canvas Print
In terms of sustainable packaging, the company does a good job with this as well. The canvas requires assembly, so the box it is shipped in is quite small. The frame came wrapped in paper packing, the hardware in a recyclable bubble package, and the canvas came in brown paper. I will 100% be using this as wrapping paper during the holidays! โป๏ธ
While you might think having to assemble the canvas is a con, I actually really enjoyed it! I love a nice craft project; it made me feel like I was part of the production process. The instructions were simple and easy to follow.
There were basically two steps: putting the wood panels on the canvas and then screwing the wood panels together. It only took about 20-30 minutes for our large canvas, so I bet smaller ones take less than 10 minutes! I also loved that the frame smells like raw wood; it adds to the feeling that you are supporting a company that actually cares about the planet.
Lastly, it was super easy to hang on the wall and looks amazing! A screw and hook is included, but we had to use Command strips for ours (because our walls are brick covered with drywall). I personally think it looks awesome in the second bedroom – super excited and grateful to have been gifted it! โค๏ธ
