Framing Guide

Congratulations! You’ve just bought your new Kate Bryan Photography fine art print! Now what? Well, the fun is only beginning! Let me help you frame your print so you can have it sitting pretty on your wall as soon as possible.

Step 1. Gather some inspo

While you’re waiting for your print to arrive in the mail, find some inspiration pictures that you like. Create a folder on your phone, cut out images from old Country Style magazines or put together a Pinterest board of frames you like. Some prints look great with a white mat board framing the image, others look like a beautiful natural window when they fill the frame. Many custom framers have a selection of sustainable Australian native timber options, which is a stunning go-to for natural images (see Step 2 for my list of framers that stock these).

Step 2. Choose a framer

Choose a local framer. If you live in Brisbane, I would recommend Artis Pura or The Framer West End. If you live elsewhere in Australia, click here to view my list of framers that stock sustainable Australian native timber custom frames. Take your print to your framer as soon as you receive your print and talk about your vision. You might want to show them your inspiration folder too. As all Kate Bryan Photography prints are custom sizes, your framer will create a frame especially for your print. It will be snug as a bug and look fantastic.

Step 3. Hang your frame

Hang your piece on two hooks. Steer clear of any sticky hooks; you don’t want your frame to fall and get damaged. Humidity and moisture will harm your piece over time so try not to hang it near direct sunlight or an air-conditioning unit.

Happy framing! Don’t forget to send me a picture or tag me on Instagram so I can see your masterpiece.
