How to Frame our Art Prints

You’ve found the perfect art print from our range of affordable Singapore art and now comes the fun part: framing it! Whether you’re curating a gallery wall or looking for a standout piece of colourful wall décor, the right frame will make your print truly shine.

 Wondering what size frame to buy or if you should add a mat? We’ve got you covered with these simple home styling tips.

Know Your Print Size

Our popular Singapore art prints come in two versatile sizes:

• A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) - perfect for small walls, shelves, or part of a gallery wall arrangement.

• A3 (29.7cm x 42cm)  great for larger spaces or part of a bigger gallery wall arrangement.

Should You Use a Mat?

Adding a mat (or mount) can elevate your art, creating a polished, gallery-style look. It gives the artwork breathing room and draws the eye directly to the print.

If You’re Using a Mat:

• • For A4 prints, choose a frame size of 30cm x 40cm with a mat opening cut to fit A4.

  • For A3 prints, go for a 40cm x 50cm frame with a mat opening cut to fit A3.

  • Pro Tip: Neutral mat colours like white or off-white keep the focus on the vibrant colours of your print. A bright or patterned mount can add an off beat, whimsical vibe.

If You’re Not Using a Mat:

You cal also keep things simple and modern by matching your frame directly to your print size. This no-mat style is ideal if you love clean lines and bold, minimalist looks.

  • A3 print → A3 frame
    

Choosing the Right Frame Style

Selecting the right frame style is just as important as the size. Here’s how to match your frame to your space:

• White or Light Wood Frames: Fresh and airy, perfect for neutral homes. 

• Black Frames: Create striking contrast for a bold, contemporary feel.

• Natural Wood Frames: Add warmth and texture, ideal for relaxed, nature-inspired interiors.

• Bobbin, Bamboo or of Styled Frames: Requires a custom framer but can create a really interesting display for those who have a love for interiors. 

Off the Shelf or Custom Frames

You can easily pick up off the shelf frames for A3 and A4 prints. Ikea has a good selection under $40.00 and you can also find them at Hipvan and Spotlight. 

If you would like a custom option we have used both the framers opposite each other in Chinatown and think their print v. quality is excellent.
