What Size Frame Should I Buy?

Luckily, this is an easy one - you buy a frame in the same size as the print. For example, if you buy a 12x16 inch print, you need a frame that states it's 12x16 inches. If you buy a print in cm, it's the same principle. If you buy A5, A4 etc, the frame should be labelled as A5, A4 etc, else your print won't fit. If you buy a frame with a mount or matt, the dimension it gives for the "opening" needs to match the size print you buy.

Check Sizing Before You Buy

If you're planning on buying an unframed print from us, we recommend that you check the sizes we offer BEFORE you buy your frame and ensure they correspond. We offer a range of international sizes and they may not all be standard sizes in your country. We do not offer refunds, exchanges or returns, so please do check this before you purchase. 

Deciding on Size(s)

A great way to help you visualise this, is to mark out the size of the prints or frames on your wall with masking tape.

Buying IKEA Frames

This is a great option if you're on a budget, or are likely to change the art in the frame regularly. On the chart above, we have marked the most popular IKEA frame sizes. Only our UK prints are printed in cm, so if you reside outside of the UK, please do check if the sizing in inches matches your local IKEA frames. DISCLAIMER: IKEA, from time to time, will change their product range, so whilst the above information is usually accurate - certain sizes may go out of stock or production, so please buy the frames first.
