Framed Art Prints
4.8
Framing is the quickest way to make a print look like it belongs on the wall rather than waiting for a decision. Browse by subject, colour or mood, then pick a size that suits the space above the sofa, the bed or a narrow bit of hallway. Framed art prints and framed canvas prints arrive as one finished piece, so there's nothing to assemble before you hang it.
I Googled the Colors I Wanted and Found my Perfect Print
I just moved from a three-bedroom, two story house to a two bedroom ground floor apartment. This is the start of my new life and I want new things in my new place. I stumbled across Fab by Googling, "Print, gold, teal, brown" and they popped up. I found the perfect picture in the perfect orientation with the perfect frame. My anal-retentive brother came over and hung it for me--Perfectly level! It looks perfect. I'm already eyeballing another print for my bedroom that has yet to be decorated. I'll definitely buy from them again.

We’re serious about art, ask away
From sizing to framing and print quality, Fab's art experts break it all down—so you can find the right art for your space.
What frame color should I choose for a framed art print?
Choose the frame color that supports the print and the room rather than competing with either. Black gives crisp, graphic contrast and suits monochrome photography, bold line work and modern or industrial spaces. White keeps things light and airy, working well with busy, colorful or pastel art in Scandinavian and coastal rooms. Oak is the most flexible neutral, warming pale walls and natural-toned interiors, while walnut adds depth and anchors vivid or high-contrast art in mid-century and moodier settings. For gallery walls, repeat one finish for a calm, curated look.
What framed art works best above a bed?
Calm, low-contrast subjects work best above a bed: muted abstracts, soft landscapes and horizons, gentle botanicals or florals in dusty blues, sage, sand and blush. Save high-contrast graphics, neon brights and busy compositions for hallways and living rooms. For scale, aim for artwork spanning roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of the headboard width, either one large piece or a symmetrical pair or trio hung as a single unit, with about 6 to 9 inches of breathing room above the headboard. Pick frame tone to echo your bed, nightstands or bedding rather than the wall color.
Should all the frames in one room match?
No, they don't have to match, but they should look related. A single finish, such as black, white, or natural wood, gives grid layouts and minimal rooms the calmest, most cohesive result. For a collected, layered look, limit yourself to two or three finishes and repeat each one at least twice across the wall so the mix reads as intentional. Tie choices to something already in the room, like wood tones, cabinet hardware, or a lamp base, and keep frame widths and formality in the same family.
Do your framed art prints arrive ready to hang?
Yes, every framed art print ships fully assembled with hanging fixtures already attached. The frame and print come together in one box, properly fitted so there's no warping, bubbling, or DIY assembly. You literally take it out, put a nail in the wall, and hang it. We hear from customers all the time that the quality looks even better in person than it does on screen.
Should I buy a framed or unframed print?
If you want something on the wall today with zero faff, go framed every time. The biggest risk with buying an unframed print and framing it yourself (or getting it done at a local shop) is ending up with a cheap frame that warps, or a print that sits badly behind the glass. Our framed prints use solid FSC-certified wood frames with UV-protective acrylic glazing, so colours won't fade even in direct sunlight. Unframed only really makes sense if you already own a frame you love and know the exact dimensions.
What size framed print do I need for my living room?
For a standard UK sofa (around 180-200cm wide), a single large framed art print of 70x100cm makes a confident statement without overwhelming the wall. The classic guideline is to aim for art that's roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. If you've got a narrower space, like above an armchair or side table, a 30x40cm or 40x50cm print sits perfectly. Don't go too small on a big wall; it'll look like an afterthought.
Do framed prints look better with or without a mount?
For most wall art, a mount (the white border between the print and frame) gives the image breathing room and makes the piece feel more considered. It's especially noticeable at smaller sizes, where a mount stops the art from feeling cramped inside the frame. At larger sizes like 50x70cm and above, you can get away without one because the image itself has enough presence. Our framed art prints include a mount as standard, which we think gives the cleanest, most gallery-quality finish.
How should I hang framed art prints so they look right?
The 57-inch rule (or 145cm) is the one galleries use: hang the centre of the print at roughly eye level, which puts it at about 145cm from the floor. If you're hanging above a sofa or bed, leave around 15-20cm between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame so it feels connected to the piece below rather than floating on its own. For a gallery wall, start with your largest framed print in the centre and build outward, keeping 5-8cm between frames for a clean look.
