Color Spirit Art Print Sizing & Framing Guide

Quick answer

To frame your Color Spirit art print, first measure the print's exact dimensions, then choose a frame that complements its style and your wall space. Follow our step-by-step guide for a professional result.

Step-by-step framing guide

1. Measure the print: Use a ruler or tape measure to get the exact height and width of the print. Write these numbers down. Common mistake: measuring from the edge of the mat instead of the print itself. Always measure the print, not the packaging.
2. Choose a frame size: Select a frame that is at least 1-2 inches larger on each side than the print to allow for matting. If you skip matting, the frame should match the print dimensions exactly. A frame that is too tight can damage the print edges.
3. Select a mat (optional): If using a mat, cut it to fit the frame outer dimensions and the print inner opening. A white or off-white mat is a safe choice that won't distract from the artwork. A mat adds depth and prevents the glass from touching the print.
4. Assemble the frame: Place the print (with mat if used) into the frame, secure the backing, and close the frame. Use acid-free tape or corners to hold the print in place without damaging it. Never glue the print directly to the backing.
5. Hang and display: Choose a wall location away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use a level to ensure the frame is straight. For large prints, use two hooks for stability. Avoid hanging above heat sources or in humid rooms.
