THIS or THAT as a big photographic print for my new laundry room?

last modified: 11 years ago

My new laundry room could probably very well serve as a spacious bedroom somewhere in Seoul :) But I live in the sticks now, more space than I know what to do with.

I have this huge unused wall in the laundry room, and I'm thinking between these two peonies photo prints (they are both 40 x 30) .

THIS


THAT


Which one do you like? I like both, leaning more towards THAT since it's more detailed, but not sure. Thank you!

    I don't think I will have pink (in such a large format) anywhere else, so this would be my only spot to have this bold, pink and lovely print to look at, while I'm dealing with grass stains, lol :)

    I prefer the color of the first one but I think I would try to find a really bright fun rug that has pink in it and chose the one that coordinates best. What a fun laundry room you're going to have!

    Hamma,

    Make sure that the image was taken with a PRO camera and is of very high resolution if you want to get 30x40 print done. It is also important to know what lab is used to print it. PRO lab has special software that allows them to upsize images and it works much better than standard person would be able to do on their own in Photoshop.

    Thanks very much. I was planning to order it from www.art.com. I wonder how one can tell, hmmmm.

    "this" top photo has more character and individualistic, the other is more abstract and Ikea-ish.

    I like the top, which accentuates the pretty rounded shape of the peony bloom + includes a bit of greenery for contrast. Good luck.

    See if there is anything in description about resolution of the image or any mentions of what equipment was used. If you take a picture of something using smartphone, point & shoot and PRO DSLR all of the images will look good to visual eye but they will not all look the same when printed in large size.

    Between the two Hamma, I'd choose this. It's a vibrant and engaging color compared to that.

    They are both beautiful ,the first brings a vibrant youthful effect and the second one softness and finesse ,its all a matter of personality ....which one makes you feel great ? You choose :accordingly )

    I like This as that 's color fades..where's This has a vibrancy to it that is gorgeous! Pay attention to the advice from the person advising about blowing up the print...make sure you use a reputable company..another idea is using the canvas people who will put your photograph onto canvas..would look like an artist rendering of a photograph

    I like both but have to go with the first one. What a great pic to brighten a gloomy task. Please share the finished product!

    I just got the new Grandin Road catalog and there is a fun pink rug on the cover. I think it's magnolia flowers but I've never seen a pink magnolia so maybe it's something else. I immediately thought of your laundry room!

    How big is your laundry room, what color are your walls, and how bright is the lighting? The lovely THAT picture may turn muddy.

    Awww, thank you, so kind of you! This is a really pretty print, especially on a rug!

    I actually ordered THIS as a high quality photographic print stretched on a canvas; awaiting its shipment! I hope I'll be happy with it when it gets here :)
