This guide is designed to help you choose the best way to present and care for your artwork, whether you’re framing at home or purchasing a framed piece from us.

Paper Prints (Unframed)

Our paper prints are supplied unframed and arrive carefully rolled in a protective tube, unless purchased from our Framed Prints collection.

This allows flexibility in choosing a frame that suits your home, space, and budget.

Our recommendations:

• Matting: We typically suggest no mat, allowing the artwork to sit edge-to-edge within the frame for a more immersive, contemporary feel.
  
• Glazing: Choose non-reflective glass or UV-protective acrylic to reduce glare and protect the artwork over time.
  
• Frames: Natural or stained timber frames, such as oak, walnut, or black japan, offer warmth and timeless contrast without overpowering the work.

Framed Prints

Our framed prints arrive ready to hang; perfect for busy parents and gift-givers.

• Prints are professionally framed using lightweight, shatter-resistant acrylic (not glass), making them safer for children’s spaces and more secure for shipping.
  
• Frames are created using sustainable materials. Please see product imagery for true colour and finish.
  

Reflection note: Acrylic may show a mild reflective quality under direct light.

Canvas Prints

Our canvas prints are professionally stretched over timber frames and delivered ready to hang.

They are intentionally offered without float frames, creating a clean, contemporary finish that sits comfortably within family homes and children’s spaces. A stretched canvas can then be float-framed at your local framer for a more finished look.

Original Paintings

All original paintings are professionally stretched and float-framed in our considered selection of finishes, including walnut, natural timber, colour-stained, or hand-painted frames.

Each frame is chosen specifically to complement the individual artwork. For this reason, alternative framing options are not offered. Every original arrives ready to hang.

Our Framing Partner

We work closely with our trusted framing partner in Fremantle, Western Australia, who specialises in handcrafted frames made from sustainably sourced timbers.

They offer both classic and contemporary options, including custom colour-matched finishes and rounded profiles. Every frame is hand-stained or painted to suit the artwork and the space it lives in.
