Bringing Your Travel Story to Life on Canvas

Our Experience with Printivart

There’s nothing quite like retracing your steps across Australia and seeing your journey mapped out. After returning home to Perth, we had an incredible printed map of our route around Australia. It showcased every place we had visited, every detour, every stretch of open road. But it was printed on plain canvas, unframed, and didn’t do justice to the experience we had just completed.


That’s when we started our search for quality canvas framing in Perth and discovered Printivart.

Why Framed Travel Maps and Wall Art Are Taking Off in Perth

In Perth, we’ve noticed a growing shift toward more meaningful home decor. Instead of filling walls with mass-produced art, more people are choosing pieces that reflect personal experiences.

Whether it’s for your home, a styled Airbnb, or even an office, having a framed canvas print that’s unique to your own journey makes a much bigger impact. That’s exactly what we wanted with our travel map. We needed something polished, long-lasting and impressive to hang in our space. It wasn’t just about looks it was about preserving the journey itself.

From Canvas to Statement Piece: Our Framing Journey

Our travel map looked great printed on canvas, but it lacked the structure and finish to really stand out. The edges were soft and the canvas had no real presence on the wall. We wanted a frame that would give it a gallery-quality finish and make it a focal point in our home.

This wasn’t about just adding a border. We wanted to turn a simple canvas into something memorable and professionally finished.

Why We Chose Printivart in Perth

As we looked into framing options, Printivart quickly stood out. They're a local Australian business with facilities in Perth and Melbourne, and they specialise in high-quality canvas printing and framing. From the start, everything about their service looked smooth, professional and well-reviewed.

Here’s what won us over:

  • Local production right here in WA

  • Free delivery Australia-wide

  • A seamless ordering system

  • A range of beautiful frame finishes including raw oak, black and white

  • High-quality canvas and materials

  • Fast turnaround and great communication

  • The Framing Process: Step by Step

Once we decided to go with Printivart, everything moved smoothly.

1. Selecting Frame Style

We went for a framed canvas with a floating frame in raw oak. This finish tied in perfectly with the natural timber tones already in our space. It gave our map a warm, earthy vibe and really brought the entire wall to life.

2. Dropping Off Our Travel Map for Framing

We dropped off our canvas directly at Printivart’s production facility, which made the process feel even more personal. It was great to speak with people who genuinely understood what we were trying to create. 

3. Confirming the Order and Delivery

After placing our order, we got prompt updates and everything arrived quickly and was extremely well packaged. The frame corners were protected, and the canvas came ready to hang with secure hardware already fitted.

4. The Final Result

When we opened the final piece, we were genuinely blown away. The frame had a flawless finish. The canvas was perfectly stretched and tensioned. The colours on our travel route popped and the entire piece had that professional, gallery-style look we were hoping for.

Why Printivart is Our First Choice Now

After going through this process, it’s clear to us why Printivart is now our first stop for any framing or canvas needs.

  • The printing captured every detail of our route beautifully

  • The canvas stock feels strong and built to last

  • The timber frame is solid and professionally finished

  • Customer support was responsive and helpful

  • The process was easy from start to finish

More Travel Photos to Come

Seeing how well our map of travels turned out, we’re now planning to print several of our favourite images from the trip. Photos like a sunset over Cable Beach, our 4WD out in the red dirt, or star-filled skies from the desert are just sitting in folders right now. With the quality we saw from Printivart, we’re excited to turn those into stunning wall pieces as well.

Instead of staying buried in our camera roll, these photos deserve to be seen and framed properly.

Travel memories deserve more than just a spot on your Instagram feed. Framing something like your route around Australia transforms it into something you can see and feel every day.

Printivart helped us do exactly that. The quality, service and finish turned our plain canvas into a real statement. If you’ve got travel memories that mean the world to you, and you want them presented in a way that reflects their importance, we definitely recommend giving Printivart a go.
