    About This Art

    Once the warm coral enters, the whole room stops apologising. Flat shapes, a green shop door and a wall of book spines do the work of a whole feature wall without shouting. Pair it with a slim oak shelf, a soft linen sofa and a brass reading lamp, and the corner becomes the bit of the house people actually want to sit in. It earns its place above a console, a reading chair, or at the turn of a hallway where you usually rush past. Skip busy patterned wallpaper next to it — the flat colour blocks do better against a chalky off-white or soft sage wall. Choose unframed, or framed in real wood with premium acrylic glazing for a clean, gallery-style finish.

    Printing, Paper and Frames

    Quality you can see (and feel)
    Printed using museum-grade giclée technology on thick, matte art paper - no glare, just soft, natural colour that looks beautiful.

    The kind of detail and depth that makes people lean in closer. Hand-framed in solid FSC-certified wood. Never cheap MDF or plastic-y veneers.

    Won't fade, even in direct sunlight
    Premium acrylic glaze with UV blocking keeps colours vibrant for 100+ years. Hang it anywhere - bedroom, hallway, that sunny spot above the sofa - without worry.

    Unbox, hang, done
    Arrives framed with fixtures already attached. Two minutes with a hammer and your wall goes from blank to "where did you get that?"

    Made responsiblyFSC-certified wood and paper. Water-based, vegan inks. Crafted to order, so there's zero waste and zero guilt.

    How do I frame an art print?

    Good news—you don’t have to!

    All of our prints are available professionally framed and ready to hang, so you can skip the trip to the framing shop and get straight to the fun part: styling your space. Here’s more info about our frames and service:

    • Your choice of timeless frames - natural wood, black, white, brown, silver and, of course, gold.
    • We use shatter-resistant acrylic glazing keeping delivery costs down and shielding your print from fading or sun damage—something cheaper glazes just don’t do.
    • Every frame is carefully sealed on the back using acid-free, archival tape —keeping dust and moisture out and your print beautifully preserved.
    • Hanging hardware already attached so just unbox, hang, and enjoy.

    Prefer to frame it yourself? That’s totally fine too—we offer unframed prints in standard and A-sizes that fit most frames you can buy.

    What makes Fab frames so good?

    Not all frames are created equal. Many cheap frames are made with acidic materials or glazes that lack UV protection—meaning your beautiful print could fade, discolor, or deteriorate over time.

    At Fab, we do things differently. Our frames are thoughtfully built to preserve and protect your artwork for the long haul. We use FSC-certified wood, 100% acid-free materials, and a UV-protective glaze to keep your print looking vibrant for decades.

    That’s why our prints have an 80+ year archival lifespan—no fading, no yellowing, just art you’ll love for years to come.

    If you're investing in art you love, it's worth framing it right.

    How do I hang art prints?

    It’s easier than you think—especially since our framed prints arrive ready to hang straight out of the box.

    Here’s how to do it in a few simple steps:

    1. Pick a wall that needs a little love—above a sofa, bed, desk, or entryway works great.

    2. Make sure the space suits the size of your print (our size guide can help). Use painter’s tape or a pencil to mark where you want the top of the frame to sit.

    3. For single prints, aim for eye level (around 57–60 inches from the floor). Every Fab framed print comes with hanging hardware already attached.

    Use a picture hook, nail, or adhesive wall strips, depending on your wall type and the weight of the frame. That’s it—your space just got a whole lot more beautiful.

    Bonus tip: For a gallery wall, lay your prints on the floor first to plan your layout before committing to the wall

    Are the book spines on the shelves readable text or just colour blocks?

    They read as colour blocks rather than legible titles. There are a couple of faint marks that suggest letters, but the overall impression is graphic, flat shapes of book spines — not a literal library photograph. It keeps the piece feeling calm and illustrative rather than busy.

    Will the coral red feel too strong in a quiet, neutral room?

    The coral is warm rather than bright, and it's balanced by large areas of soft sage and cream. In a neutral room it reads as a single, deliberate pop rather than a loud accent. If your walls already lean strong red or orange it can clash — otherwise it sits comfortably.

    Does it work on a narrow hallway wall in portrait orientation?

    Yes — it's a portrait composition with a clear vertical pull through the green door and the standing figure, which suits narrow hallway walls. Aim for at least 60cm of clear wall width and hang at standing eye-level, ideally above a slim console or shelf.
