If you\u2019re a photography enthusiast you&#8217;ve probably already heard a lot about how to decorate your home using prints from your photos. And there are so many different kinds of prints to choose from, but not all of them work outside!<\/p>\n<p>Canvas is durable and beautiful, if it\u2019s properly cared for. But unfortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecanvasfactory.com.au\/\">canvas prints<\/a> can\u2019t be displayed outdoors. Even in fine weather the sun, rain, and other elements can harm canvas prints, causing them to fade. And if you leave your prints outside in the rain, your beautiful artwork will become a big soggy mess.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1399 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.thecanvasfactory.com.au\/blog\/app\/uploads\/decorate-outdoor-spaces-aluminium-prints-wooden-deck-chairs.jpg\" alt=\"decorate-outdoor-spaces-aluminium-prints-wooden-deck-chairs\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/decorate-outdoor-spaces-aluminium-prints-wooden-deck-chairs.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/decorate-outdoor-spaces-aluminium-prints-wooden-deck-chairs-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/decorate-outdoor-spaces-aluminium-prints-wooden-deck-chairs-150x99.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/433;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So what if you have an outdoor or semi-exposed space you\u2019d like to decorate? You might have a space like your deck walls, patio, garage, or semi-outdoor space that is exposed to the elements.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s any chance of rain or your space is a little damp, your canvas prints won\u2019t last long. Even if your prints are sheltered from rain, the temperature fluctuations and other weather effects will make short work of your gorgeous prints. So, how can you decorate your outdoor spaces?<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Aluminium Prints?<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that you can turn your amazing photos into aluminium prints? The result can be just as dramatic and beautiful as canvas prints, but your prints will also be fully weatherproof! How good is that?<\/p>\n<p>Aluminium prints are also known as metal prints. Essentially they are high-definition metal prints printed on a white aluminium base. They have a beautiful subtle metallic sheen without being reflective. These prints have a modern, gallery-style aesthetic that can look fantastic in any home.<\/p>\n<p>Our Aluminium Prints are completely waterproof and weather-resistant, making it possible to have your life decorated with beautiful, meaningful images from your memories and experiences, both indoors and out. And we say weather-<em>resistant<\/em> only because if a cyclone spins through your backyard we can\u2019t guarantee it won\u2019t knock your aluminium prints down!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1398 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.thecanvasfactory.com.au\/blog\/app\/uploads\/decorate-outdoor-spaces-aluminium-prints-white-day-chairs.jpg\" alt=\"decorate-outdoor-spaces-aluminium-prints-white-day-chairs\" width=\"650\" height=\"974\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/decorate-outdoor-spaces-aluminium-prints-white-day-chairs.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/decorate-outdoor-spaces-aluminium-prints-white-day-chairs-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/decorate-outdoor-spaces-aluminium-prints-white-day-chairs-100x150.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/974;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How To Choose A Design<\/h2>\n<p>So, once you&#8217;ve decided you want a metal print, what kind of artwork should you choose?

Some companies will simply print your photos on paper and then adhere the paper to an aluminium backing. This process produces aluminium prints that are not waterproof at all: in damp weather the paper will swell and peel away from the metal, and your precious artwork will soon turn into a sad, bloated shadow of its former glory!<\/p>\n<p>If you take care of them right, our Aluminium Prints can last a lifetime. They can brighten even the blandest backyard patio or utilitarian garage. Don\u2019t be surprised if you start a fan club when people spot your works of art on the verandah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aluminium prints are the perfect way of taking your memories and turning them into gallery-quality photos for your outdoor spaces.
