Our prints ship unframed so you can choose a frame that suits your space. Here’s how to get a clean, professional look.

Standard sizes make it easy

All four of our sizes (8×10, 11×14, 16×20 and 18×24 inches) are standard frame sizes, so you can find ready-made frames at most stores.

Add a mat for a gallery look

A mat adds breathing room around the art. A common approach is to go one frame size up with a matching mat opening, for example an 8×10 print in an 11×14 frame, or an 11×14 print in a 16×20 frame.

Protect a glossy print

Our prints have a glossy finish. Keep them out of direct sunlight to help colors last, and consider UV-protective glass or acrylic for sunny rooms.

Hang it at the right height

Aim for the center of the art about 57 to 60 inches from the floor. For more on choosing sizes, read What size art print should I get?
