Tips & Practical Guide
Sizes and Framing
Understanding sizes before choosing your print
Each Fine Art print is offered in several standard sizes to fit all spaces, from small intimate corners to large living room walls. These sizes are designed to be easy to frame with commercially available frames, without the need for custom framing.
Square sizes
They offer beautiful symmetry and a contemporary look. They adapt well to centered or minimalist compositions.
- 30×30 cm (12x12") → compact size, ideal for small spaces or multiple wall arrangements.
- 40×40 cm (16x16") → perfect balance between discretion and presence.
- 50×50 cm (20x20") → standard "gallery" size, perfect alone or in pairs.
- 70×70 cm (18x28") → immersive size, ideal for making a large room vibrate.
Rectangular sizes (landscape or portrait)
Depending on the orientation of the artwork, these sizes offer a dynamic horizontal (landscape) or vertical (portrait) reading.
- 30×40 cm (12x16") → compact size, easy to frame and arrange.
- 40×50 cm (16x20") → classic balance, standard commercial size.
- 50×70 cm (20x18") → one of the most common, excellent impact/space ratio.
- 60×80 cm (24x32") → generous size for an immersive rendering.
- 70×100 cm (28x40") → large size, "gallery" effect guaranteed.
- A0 (84.1×118.9 cm) → XL and spectacular size, perfect for a solo hanging or a large space.
Framing Tips
Fine Art posters are printed on 200g matte finish paper, full bleed (without white margin), for an immersive rendering and natural depth of blacks and textures.
Choosing your frame
The proposed sizes correspond to standard sizes easily found in framing stores, decoration stores, design stores, fine arts supply stores, as well as DIY stores and other stores distributing interior home furnishings.
The prints are designed to be displayed full image, without a mat, to accentuate the immersive effect.
Some possible finishes:
- Natural wood: warm and timeless.
- Aluminum : modern and sleek.
- PVC : lightweight and economical.
Each finish is often available in different shades.
Bl.é Art Recommendation: 3D Box frames!
For an even more elegant and professional look, opt for a 3D Box frame (or "floating frame"). This type of framing creates a depth effect between the print and the glass, giving the artwork a gallery-worthy presentation.
It particularly enhances full-bleed and matte prints, reinforcing the perception of relief and visual immersion.
Glass or plexiglass?
I recommend anti-reflective glass, which protects the artwork while preserving its luminosity and the richness of its nuances. Plexiglass is lighter, but tends to create reflections and generate static electricity.
Mat or full bleed?
Prints are designed to be displayed full image, without a mat, to accentuate the immersive effect.
However, you can add a mat if you wish to:
- Create breathing room around the image,
- Adapt a print to a slightly larger frame,
- Play on a contrast of material or color.
