Framed prints

A framed print arrives ready to hang, which is the whole point: no frame shop, no mat to cut, no glass to carry home. These are the framed prints we would choose, with the frame colours and sizes each retailer offers, at their price on the day we checked.

Look at three things: the frame material (wood or aluminium), whether the glazing is glass or acrylic, and whether a mat is included, because a mat adds several centimetres to the outer size. Then hang it at the right height, centre about 145 cm from the floor. Canvas or framed print sets out when a frame is the better choice; how high to hang a picture has the heights.
