How to frame your wall art {unique ways of hanging your prints}

HOW DO I HANG MY WALL PRINT?

This is probably the most common question I get asked. So today I want to show you what works best for me, and also share a few non-traditional hanging options.
If you gave a print to someone this Christmas, as I know many of you did (thank you!), you can point them back to this article for some handy tips!

7 WAYS TO HANG YOUR PRINTS

1. TRADITIONAL FRAME

The most common way I display my prints is in a traditional frame. You can see a few different frame options in the Facebook customer album. But, I live near Ikea, so my fall back frame is the Ribba Ikea frame. I know this one says it's for A4, but I like it without the frame matt (it's not quite pure white so clashes a little for me), so this 30x 40cm one works great for the Honey & Gold A3 prints.

A little warning, you will have to trim about one centimetre from each end of the print as the Ikea sizes are a little off I find. It comes in a number of different colours too, so I'm sure there would be something that works.

Otherwise, just a regular A3 (11.7" x 16.5") sized frame from a craft shop, cheap shop or department store would be the best fit.  To hang, I use these amazing 3M velcro tabs. We rent so these are a great damage free option. Having said that, they are fantastic generally too as you don't need to fiddle around with nails and hammers or make any adjustments for the slack of a hanging wire; it’s level and lines up when doing a gallery wall for example. Smart 3M, very smart!

Sometimes you may want something less permanent or a different aesthetic to a traditional framed print and this is where clips, pegs and tape come in. Use fancy bull dog clips or pretty washi tape to add a little something to your walls. Or why not use a wooden hanger or wire frame.

I've been pinning these samples and love the different looks they create.
