🪶 Display & Mounting
Your hand-painted canvas arrives ready to hang, with clean, finished edges that make framing optional.
Here are a few ways to display your piece beautifully:
Minimalist Gallery Style: Hang the canvas directly using sawtooth or D-ring hardware. The black-painted edges create a natural frame effect — sleek and modern.
Framed Presentation: For a polished, traditional look, pair your canvas with a floating frame in wood, black, or brushed bronze. Floating frames leave a small gap around the artwork, emphasizing its depth and texture.
Shelf or Mantel Display: Lean the canvas against the wall on a console table, bookshelf, or mantel for a relaxed, art-collector feel — perfect for seasonal décor that you like to rotate.
Lighting Tip: Soft ambient light or a nearby lamp brings out the layered tones and highlights of your hand-painted finish.
✨ Hanging Preference: Choose how you’d like your canvas prepared — ready to hang with a centered sawtooth hanger, or unmounted for custom framing or display.
Every canvas from Nightshade Nook Decor is sealed and finished for easy care and versatile styling — whether you prefer a clean contemporary display or a framed gallery wall statement.
🖼️ Care & Storage
To preserve the depth and detail of your hand-painted canvas:
Display indoors in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time.
Dust gently using a soft, dry microfiber cloth — never use cleaners, sprays, or water.
Do not hang above heat sources such as fireplaces, radiators, or vents.
When storing, wrap in acid-free paper or cotton fabric and keep upright in a cool, dry space — never flat or stacked.
For long-term storage, avoid basements, attics, or areas with fluctuating humidity.
🌙 Behind the Painting: The Story of “Night Whispers”
The spark for Night Whispers came from the stillness that settles after Halloween’s chaos — the soft smoke curling from candlelit pumpkins, the hush between trick-or-treaters, and that uncanny feeling that something unseen might be watching.
We wanted to capture that moment when a black cat’s gaze cuts through the haze — part guardian, part mystery — framed only by the faint glow of its companion jack-o’-lantern. Every layer of paint was built slowly, allowing light to emerge through the darkness until both figures seemed to breathe within the mist.
This piece bridges the line between spooky and serene — the kind of painting that whispers rather than shouts, making it perfect for subtle seasonal décor that still tells a story.
🪶 From the Studio
Each painting in our Whimsically Haunted collection is created by hand in our upstate New York workshop, where sawdust, paint, and coffee coexist in creative chaos. We seal every finished canvas with a protective varnish, ensuring its color and mood remain vivid for years to come.
🕯️ Styling Inspiration
Pair Night Whispers with warm amber lighting, vintage brass candleholders, or natural wood accents to enhance its moody glow. It displays beautifully alone, but also complements other pieces from the Whimsically Haunted series for a collected, gallery-style wall.
