The Complete Guide to Framing Posters and Art Prints

A beautiful frame does more than protect your poster or art print — it elevates the entire piece. By carefully matching colors, shapes, and textures, a frame helps the artwork blend seamlessly into your space while highlighting its unique character. Alongside its visual contribution, a high-quality frame provides essential protection: it shields the artwork from dust, sunlight, and humidity, preserving the vividness of the colors and preventing fading and wear over time. This way, you can enjoy your prints in their full beauty for many years to come.

Why Frame with Professionals?

Choosing a professional framer can make a real difference, offering benefits far beyond what an off-the-shelf frame can provide:

  • Custom Fit and Style
    Professionals help tailor the framing to your specific piece, offering options like a personalized passepartout, UV-protective glass, or anti-reflective finishes to ensure your colors remain vibrant.
  • Premium Materials
    Solid wood, fine aluminum, or designer-quality frames are selected to complement the sensitivity and style of your artwork.
  • Long-Term Preservation
    Proper packaging and professional installation services ensure your piece is well-protected from environmental damage and beautifully displayed from day one.

For best results, it’s always recommended to work with a local framing shop. Many offer personalized advice, premium materials, and custom solutions that enhance and preserve both posters and fine art prints.

Final Tips from Marat-art

  • Color Matching
    Bring a small sample of your wall color when choosing a frame to ensure a harmonious blend.
  • Passepartout Choice
    For larger artworks, a wide passepartout can create a sense of breathing space around the piece, enhancing its impact.
  • Check in Person
    Whenever possible, view frame samples physically before buying to ensure the right fit, size, and color for your artwork.
