I may share on stories, posts or the gallery inspiration page (coming soon). I would love to see how you frame your new Art Print, so please share by tagging me instagram. Poster Store A Swedish based company - perfect for European customers. They are manufactured in the UK, deliver to UK and Europe and have great customer service. If you would like a mount for your print, I recommend approx 2 cm around the print for a timeless impactful style.į.uk. If you have a dark ground print I would also always recommend non-reflective glazing - to get the best visibility possible. Most of our prints be designed to the edges for maximum impact or will a slim border. Not only is it more environmentally efficient, as well as supporting local business, but safer with less chance of smashed or broken pieces! Getting your piece framed professionally will make your art last a lifetime. Googling "framer near me" will no doubt show some great local businesses. Transporting prints in frames is a delicate task. ![]() Mix and match frames for true maximalist impact or keep all your frames the same colour and style on the wall for a more minimalist approach. Slim black frames give a modern effortless look perfect to add to an already busy gallery wall, whilst a Gold Antique style frame can emphasise the vintage influence and create a bold timeless statement.

(5) Vintage finds: I love going thrifting to find unique frames – you can take these to your local framer to have glass and wire replaced if they are empty when found. (4) Budget friendly ready-made frames: Target, Blick Art Supply, Ikea, Michaels, JoAnn Fabrics (3) Higher end ready-made frames: Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, West Elm (2) Mail in custom framing service: and are two high quality options at affordable pricing. (1) Local Framer (McMillen’s and Fusion are great options if you’re local to Traverse City!) This is a more expensive option, but really allows you to customize your artwork to perfectly complement your space. My favorite frame sources to choose from include: Check the description for the frame and it should tell you if it comes with UV protected glass. I charge you the price they would charge you. ![]() Local framers and mail in framers will provide this, but Ikea for instance is not UV protected. For larger orders I can arrange framing for you through my local framer. ![]() UV Protection: It’s great when you can find affordable frames, but if you spent a lot of money on your print and want it to last for years to come, I recommend making sure your glass has UV protection. No Mat: A mat allows the artwork some room to breathe, standout and take up some more room on your wall, but depending on your space, taste and vision this is completely your preference! If you are not able to frame your print promptly, I recommend at least removing it from the cardboard packaging, and if received in a tube, lying it flat with some clean pieces of paper over the image and laying heavy books on top to safely flatten it while you wait.

Frames really are an extension of the artwork and a custom frame can help all styles of artwork fit seamlessly into any space. It’s really fun to see all the different frame materials, color options, as well as mat board colors. Now for the fun part – framing! I love this process, especially when I get to stop in my local framer’s shop. Thank you so much for collecting a print! These have been professionally photographed and printed on archival quality cotton rag paper, right around the corner from my studio! My printer and I have a great partnership and we are so thankful for your support.
