YOUR FRAMING OPTIONS
Professional Float Framing (Recommended)
For the best results, I recommend having your print professionally float-framed. This method ensures the entire artwork remains visible, creating a stunning and balanced presentation that truly highlights the beauty of your print.
DIY Framing in Standard Frames
All my prints are designed to fit standard international frame sizes (A1, A0, A2, and A3). However, please note:
Traditional matting sizes may crop parts of the artwork at the top and bottom due to uneven mat proportions.
For the best results, I recommend:
Custom matting with even borders (e.g., 30mm all around).
Visiting a professional framer to adjust the matting or frame your print with care.
Why Choose Float Framing?
Float framing offers a contemporary, clean look that ensures no part of the artwork is hidden or cropped. It’s the perfect way to showcase the full design while adding a professional touch to your display.
