My Frame Guide

Here you will find some guidance and imagery to help establish the best size prints for you!

As framing is such a personal choice my prints do not come with frames,  so I've put together a list of the frames that some of my clients have used.

Rest assured there are many many frames on the market that suit my paper sizing as its Standard International Paper Sizes and Measurements so please feel free to shop around!

For absolute best result why not head down to you local framers for a professional to make one bespoke to your requirements. Frame shops are like Aladdin's Cave!

Please feel free to get in touch for further advice help if required 

 

Pictured above is sized A1 "Where The Crawdads Sing" print 

which measure at approx. 59x84cm and are displayed here in Ikea Edsbruk frame in size 61x91cm as these particular frames come with a nice large mount this make up the size difference between the frame size and the paper size.

This does however mean you would need to keep the mount (the white board that the frames come with) in the frames in order for them to fit. Note that you will loose view of some of the print behind the mount. To not loose any view of the entire print opt for a frame where the opening allows view of the full size of your print.
