1. Getting to Know Your Prints

Every AmbersCreations poster is printed on Classic Semi-Glossy Paper known for its vibrant color depth and subtle sheen. This high-quality finish gives your artwork a professional, gallery-like appearance while keeping the tones rich and lifelike in any light.

Available sizes:
• A3 — 29.7 × 42 cm (Vertical)
• A2 — 42 × 59.4 cm (Vertical)
• A1 — 59.4 × 84.1 cm (Vertical)
• A0 — 84.1 × 118.9 cm (Vertical)

Each print arrives unframed giving you complete freedom to choose how you want to present your art. Whether you prefer a minimalist style, cozy ambiance or bold statement wall the size of your print plays a big role in setting the tone.

  • A3 prints: are perfect for smaller spaces or creating a gallery wall with multiple artworks. They look beautiful in reading corners, entryways or above desks, areas that benefit from a subtle touch of color and personality.

  • A2 prints: are versatile and fit well in most rooms. They are ideal for styling as a single feature above a sideboard or in combination with other sizes for a layered wall display. A2 is the “just right” choice if you want your print to stand out without overwhelming your decor.

  • A1 prints: make a strong impression. Their larger format draws attention and works beautifully as a centerpiece in a living room, bedroom or hallway. Pair them with simple, neutral frames to let the artwork speak for itself.

  • A0 prints: are bold and expressive, true statement pieces. They bring scale and energy to large, open spaces such as living rooms, dining areas or creative studios. Perfect for modern interiors that embrace dramatic proportions and artistic flair.

When choosing your size, consider the wall space, surrounding furniture and the feeling you want to create. A smaller print adds charm and intimacy, while a larger one transforms the atmosphere of the entire room. With the right size, your AmbersCreations art doesn’t just decorate your home it defines it.

2. Choosing the Perfect Frame

Your frame connects your artwork to your space and creates a finished look that feels intentional. The right frame can complement your interior style and make your print stand out. Choosing the perfect size and style helps bring your vision to life and makes your artwork feel complete.

  • Exact Fit:
    Select a frame that matches your print size exactly for a sleek, contemporary edge. This style works particularly well for modern interiors or when you want your artwork to make a subtle, refined statement.

  • With Mount (Optional):
    If you want a more gallery-style display, pick one frame size larger than your print and use a mount to surround it. This adds depth and draws the eye to the artwork making it the focal point of the room. Perfect for living rooms, hallways or feature walls.

3. Frame Materials and Finishes

The material and style of your frame can completely change the mood and personality of your artwork. Selecting the right frame finish enhances the colors and style of your print. It also ensures that your artwork blends harmoniously with your room and your overall interior aesthetic.

  • Wooden Frames:
    Warm, versatile and timeless. Light oak or birch gives softness and natural elegance, while darker woods like walnut create a rich, cozy feeling. Painted wood in black, white or soft colors blends seamlessly into Scandinavian or minimalist interiors.
  • Metal Frames:
    Sleek, structured and refined. Matte black, silver or gold frames work beautifully for contemporary spaces. They create contrast and highlight the artwork without overpowering it.

  • Acrylic Frames:
    Lightweight, modern and durable. Acrylic frames are ideal for larger prints like A1 and A0 and are especially practical in homes with children or pets. They provide a clear, clean look while keeping the artwork safe.

💡 Style Tip: Neutral frames work with almost any interior, while bolder colors can create a playful or striking accent.

4. Glazing Options: Glass or Acrylic

Glazing protects your print while giving it a polished finish that enhances its colors and details. The type of glazing you choose affects both the look and durability of your print. Understanding the differences between glass and acrylic helps you make the right choice for your space and your lifestyle.

  • Glass:
    Crystal-clear and scratch-resistant, glass gives your artwork a traditional, elegant appearance. It works especially well for smaller prints like A3 and A2 and provides a premium feel that enhances the details of your design. Its reflective quality can subtly enrich the colors making the print feel even more vibrant.

  • Acrylic:
    Lightweight, shatterproof and UV-resistant, acrylic is ideal for larger prints such as A1 or A0. It’s easier to handle and hang and it also protects your print from sunlight and fading making it a practical choice for bright or high-traffic spaces. Acrylic glazing can also give a modern, minimalist finish that complements contemporary interiors beautifully.

5. Framing and Assembly Tips

Taking the time to assemble your frame carefully makes a huge difference in how your print looks. Proper framing ensures your artwork is secure and perfectly presented. Following simple steps will help you achieve a professional finish every time.

  • Step 1. Clean the glazing: with a soft, lint-free cloth on both sides to remove any dust or fingerprints that could distract from your artwork.

  • Step 2. Place your print: inside the frame making sure it sits flat and centered for a polished, balanced appearance.

  • Step 3. Secure the backing: gently avoiding pressing too hard or forcing it which could bend or damage the paper. Take care that the print remains perfectly aligned while securing.

  • Step 4. Check alignment: before sealing the frame completely as even a small adjustment can make a significant difference in the overall presentation.

6. Hanging Tips for Balance and Impact

How you hang your print can completely change the feel of a room. Placement affects both the aesthetics and the way people experience your artwork. Knowing where and how to hang your prints will create balance, harmony and maximum visual impact.

  • Eye Level:
    Center your artwork around 145–152 cm (57–60 inches) from the floor to create a natural viewing experience that feels comfortable for most people. This height ensures the print is engaging without straining the eye.

  • Gallery Walls:
    Maintain 5–10 cm spacing between prints for a clean, curated display. Consistent spacing ensures the arrangement looks intentional and visually harmonious. Mix sizes carefully to create a dynamic, interesting composition.

  • Light Considerations:
    Avoid direct sunlight which can cause fading over time. Place your print in areas with indirect natural light to enhance its colors and details beautifully creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

  • Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals especially on acrylic glazing to protect both the print and the frame from damage and discoloration.

  • Keep prints away from moisture, extreme temperature changes and direct heat sources which could warp the frame or affect the paper quality. With regular care your artwork remains a lasting, inspiring part of your home.
