How To Frame a Custom Size Photo Print

On this website you can get my prints in two sizes: 12x18 inches and 14.67x22 inches. While it’s easy to find frames for 12x18 prints, the larger size I offer is non-standard, therefore, here’s a small guide for framing it correctly.

Recommended Frame Size:

18 x 24 inches (45.7 x 61 cm)

This is a standard, widely available frame size that pairs beautifully with your print.

Matting Advice:

To frame your print properly, you’ll need a custom mat.

Here’s what to ask for:

  • Mat outer size: 18 x 24 inches

  • Mat window opening: approximately 14.4 x 21.75 inches

  • (This gives a slight overlap to keep the print in place without showing edges)

Tip: You can have this mat custom-cut at most framing shops.

Mounting Suggestions:

To keep your fine art print flat and properly positioned:

  • Do not use glue or tape directly on the front or back of the print

  • Instead, use acid-free archival hinging tape or photo corners on the back top edge only

  • This lets the paper breathe and prevents warping over time

Framers know this method well — but if you DIY, YouTube has tutorials on “T-hinge mounting” for fine art.

Final Notes:

  • All my prints are created on archival, museum-grade paper, designed to last generations.

  • To preserve the print’s beauty, avoid placing it in direct sunlight or high-humidity areas.

  • When in doubt, a professional framer is a worthwhile investment for lasting presentation.

Now, feel free to explore the photos available, and make your home a place of mindfulness.
