Frames and hanging

The frame and the hook decide whether a print looks placed or propped. Picture frames, rails, hooks and hanging systems from retailers across Europe, with sizes, colours and each shop’s price on the day we checked. How high and how big is in the guides.

Match the frame to the print’s outer size, mat included if there is one, and pick the hook for the wall: a picture rail for plaster you would rather not drill, two hooks for anything wide so it does not tilt. One frame colour across a wall reads as a set. How high to hang a picture has the heights; gallery wall layouts has the spacing.
