You can decorate the image with any furniture.

A relatively new trend in the art of interior design is photo printing on furniture. Realistic images are applied on the surface of products in different ways. Much depends on the base material. If we are talking about glass fragments, for example, it can be full-color printing on a prepared sheet or gluing with a polymer film. Usually artists of the company performing the order help to choose a drawing. They will guide you in the optimal way to apply a picture to the facade.

Two options are also offered for the design of wood and wood-based panels. You can use direct UV printing, in which the image is applied to the surface of the material. Polymer film is the second option. In the furniture industry, both techniques are quite actively used, it is impossible to say which one is more popular.

Film stained glass includes painting on polymer films. From the standard version, this technique is distinguished only by the fact that a single web is used. Classic stained glass windows are created from many colorful pieces. Photo printing of furniture can be carried out by other methods. A specific option should be selected according to the base material and the desired result.

Since the images are very thin and light, they do not change the weight and dimensions of the furniture. The dimensions of the image applied to the material are limited only by the dimensions of the printing press. Today, the limits of printing have become very wide. Direct application can most often be used even for the doors of sliding wardrobes, which occupy the entire wall. You can decorate with the image any furniture that has a sufficiently large flat surface. For objects of curved shape, it is better to choose not direct printing, but gluing with a polymer film. However, you can study the options offered by specialized companies in order to find the optimal solution for a specific situation.

The main advantages of photo printing

For hard materials, UV printing is considered one of the best options. The image obtained thanks to this technology is resistant to chemicals. Ordinary household detergents can be processed without any fears. But you should not use abrasives, rough materials, scratch and rub the surface too hard, since the paint always remains paint. With proper care, the appearance of the furniture will remain for more than a dozen years.

Illumination of furniture facades with photo printing

Especially effective in some cases is the backlight of the printed image. You can organize it both inside and outside the furniture.

The first option is used for transparent materials, that is, for images applied to thin acrylic and glass. Any photo image will become more vivid and expressive in the presence of external illumination. For its organization, you can use both ordinary incandescent lamps and more modern lighting devices, including LEDs. Additional illumination is not required if photo printing is bright in itself, the illumination of the room is high.

Image selection

In interior design, photo images are often used today. All restrictions are removed thanks to the advent of modern printing technologies. The color scheme and type of pattern can be almost anything. Any imagination of the designer can be reflected, for example, on glass. You can place on family furniture both family photos and views of far space or pastoral landscapes. It all depends on the desire of the owners of the apartment or house. However, it should be borne in mind that the resolution of the image should be as large as possible, especially when it comes to large print sizes. The quality of the result depends on it.

Photo printing is now available to everyone. Without significant costs, you can apply images of any style and with any theme. Compositions are made very quickly. However, photo stained-glass windows are somewhat inferior in expressiveness to classical glass paintings made using traditional technologies. Imitation, no matter how high-quality it is, always remains just like the original. But at the same time, the cost of a photo-stained glass window will be significantly lower, since the manufacturing process is automated, manual labor is absent in it.

Photodesign in the furniture industry makes it possible to create exclusive products. Most modern people strive for a unique design of an apartment, so such furniture is very popular. Furniture items with photo design are made to order in a single copy. They can be successfully fit into almost any style and decor. Professional designers will help you choose the best option. However, you can also focus on your taste.
