Framing

Let's talk about framing

We don't offer it—for a reason. 

Why? Framing is personal. I create the piece and let you choose how it lives in your home. I can give advice if you’re not sure what can go in your space (and what I think looks best with my art), however it also depends on how you have already styled your house (or how you’re planning to).

Shipping framed pieces is also an additional risk, and the last thing I’d want is you to receive an artwork that’s damaged.

Your print will feel so much more special once you’ve chosen how you want to present it too x

Framing Suggestions

Ornate Frame

Works best for: Limited Edition Art Prints

These frames are bold and beautiful and will make your house look like a vintage gallery, by adding to the character of the artworks. When collecting, you can then continue this theme throughout your pieces and you can change the options for the patterns, so they are the same, yet different in their own ways. I know this isn't for everyone, so if ornate is not your cup of tea, see the Elevated Float Mount Specs below.

Specifications
Frame: Black or White Ornate Frame
Mat board: Minimum 50mm, Black or White (or 2 inches)
Glass: Please consider getting UV Protective Art Glass

Thick framing options will work for all artwork sizes. Thin framing generally would only work on smaller prints, such as A2-sized art prints.

Mat board helps the art print pop, however some people prefer prints to go to the edge. My preference is to have it with mat board, but the world's your oyster.

UV Protective Art Glass will give your art the protection it needs against the elements and UV rays, even if the artwork is not hung in direct sunlight (which I would also advise against). This type of glass usually does not have glare, which gives the print the best visibility no matter where the art print is hung.

Elevated Float Mount Frame

Works best for: Art Prints

If ornate is not for you, this is my next (just as impressive) pick for framing. These frames are the step-up to the traditional framing technique (in my humble opinion). This is where simple frames (black, white or wood) can look premium with the artwork 'hovering' within the frame, which adds a sense of dimension to the art.

Frame: Your choice of frame option available to you for this type of framing
Reveal: Min. 50mm (or 2 inches)
Base: White
Glass: Please consider getting UV Protective Art Glass

You can take the above to your local framers and they can show you all the samples to create this frame. 

Please note: I found that not all framers have done the hovering float – some will just glue the artwork to the backing (this is called a sandwich float) without the 'hover' effect—I have no doubt they'll be able to execute what's required, but just make sure that you're on the same page before accepting the quote. 

The base works best as white, as this gives it the best visibility i.e. this effect would be lost if you were to get this on a black background. Other colours would work, but I think white works best.

Canvas Float Frame

Works best for: Original Abstract Paintings

You can just let the framer know that's what you want and either bring in the artwork itself or the dimensions of the artwork. They will then show you the frame options available to you. 

If you prefer to have your canvas artworks framed, this is the option to go for. The canvas will look suspended within the frame, which will provide the best presentation of the artworks. 

This is best for the 20mm-edge artworks, and you can choose the colour of your liking that suits the artwork you have chosen. The 40mm-edge artworks usually have painting on the edges, because I believe the art doesn't end on the flat canvas, but continues on for the wider edges, but if you prefer it framed that is entirely up to you.
