    I've used these https://www.printdeluxe.eu in the past.
    Find a picture you like and they will print it.

    At the moment all sizes are 29 euros - except for 140x100 which is 36 - this is the largest.

    King & McGraw for a really big selection of art.
    Some Irish sites for prints: Jam Art Factory, Jando Design, Damn Fine Print.
    There are also loads of Etsy shops.

    Anyone got any particurarly good images to use with something like this. I'm aware it's a broad question haha. Just curious on responses.

    I googled a random sunset which was mostly yellow in colour which suited the colourscheme...
    I actually only put it up the other day... the frame that came with it was warped (it comes in parts that slot together, 1 part was out of shape) so i had to build my own frame out of 2x1.
    Original frame was in a box lying against the rad in my utility for months and months, so not sure if it was like that when it arrived.

    I'm curious how it would stack up against something like https://desenio.com/ and potentally then just buying the frames in IKEA, assuming the frames would be cheaper in IKEA and the same quality...

    I think you're comparing apples/oranges...
    https://desenio.com/ seems to be proper framed prints with glass (plexiglass) etc...
    Canvas from https://www.printdeluxe.eu is a different beast. The bare canvas is stretched over the frame, so you never see it (the frame). The workman ship on the joints doesn't have to be perfect.

    Im wondering how it would turn out if you just picked a random photo off the internet. Im guessing the quality would go way down as the pixels go up. Anyone know a way to solve this?

    I'm looking for recommendations too. Bonus points for shops in Dublin we could actually go in and have a look.

    I actually won a print online and got a good recommendation for a framing place - "Gallery 23" They are based in Coolmine business Park and think they have a place in Kimmage too? They've a few more "higher end" framed artwork on display and for sale too. I left with a list of artwork I now want 🤣 The girl working there was very helpful too.

    If you want to make your bedroom look awesome with some cool wall art, I've got a suggestion for you. How about printing your favorite photos on canvas? It's a great way to add a personal touch to your space.
