How to Frame and Hang Fine Art Prints the Right Way

A fine art print deserves more than a quick frame job — it’s a design object in its own right. At KW Artstudio, we print on Hahnemühle German Etching paper for its premium weight, rich texture, and matte elegance. Here’s how to present your artwork so it truly shines.

  1. Choose a minimalist frame
    Let the artwork speak for itself. Black, white, or natural wood frames work best. Avoid decorative or ornate frames — our aesthetic is clean and focused.

  2. Consider adding a mat
    A white mat (also called passepartout) creates space around the print and adds visual balance. It also protects the edges and helps the artwork “breathe.”

  3. Match the size to the wall
    Make sure the artwork doesn’t feel lost. A small print on a large wall needs a strong frame or grouping. Large prints should be given space to stand on their own.
  4. Hang at the right height
    The center of the artwork should be around 145–150 cm (57–60 inches) from the floor — slightly lower in living areas where people are often seated.
  5. Mind the lighting
    Use natural or indirect lighting to highlight the print without glare. Avoid direct sun exposure, even though our pigment inks are fade-resistant.

 

Bonus: Go professional
For the best presentation, take your print to a professional framer who understands archival materials and acid-free mounting.

The right frame and placement elevate your print from decoration to statement — and ensure your artwork becomes part of the space, not just something on the wall.
