Size Guide

Every Papanee print is offered in three sizes in the same 2:3 shape, so the artwork is never cropped. Prints are full bleed (the image runs to the edge), sold unframed, and printed to order on 200 gsm fine art paper with archival pigment inks.

Size (inches)	Size (cm)	Works well for	Frame that fits
12 × 18 in	30 × 45 cm	Shelves, nightstands, narrow walls, gallery walls	Standard 12 × 18 in poster frame. With a mat: an 18 × 24 in frame with a mat opening cut for 12 × 18 in.
16 × 24 in	40 × 60 cm	Above a desk or dresser, bedrooms, hallways, entryways	Standard 16 × 24 in frame. With a mat: a 20 × 28 in or 22 × 28 in frame with a mat opening cut for 16 × 24 in.
24 × 36 in	60 × 90 cm	A focal point above a sofa, bed, console or sideboard	Standard 24 × 36 in poster frame, the most common large poster size in the US.

Choosing the right size

• Above furniture, aim for artwork about two thirds the width of the piece below it. For a wide sofa, a pair of 24 × 36 in prints often looks better than one.
• Hang the center of the artwork about 57–60 in (145–150 cm) from the floor, or 8–10 in above the back of a sofa or headboard.
• Mark the size on the wall with painter’s tape before ordering to see how it fills the space.

Framing notes

• All three sizes fit ready-made US frames, so no custom framing is needed.
• Because prints are full bleed, a mat will cover a thin edge of the image. Ask for a mat opening about 1/4 in (6 mm) smaller than the print on each side.
• If your print arrives rolled, let it rest flat under a few books for a day before framing.
