Then in Step 1 'About your picture' you'll need to input the size of your picture (you can do this in either mm / cm or inches).Īfter choosing the colour and style of your mount, you will then reach Step 3 'Which Nielsen frame would you like?'. It can also be a little bit tricky to get your head around for the first time.įirst, head over to our dedicated page for creating custom mounts to fit Nielsen ready made frames. This is essentially the 'third option' but still a very popular one with our customers. 'I would like a mount around my picture, but in a Nielsen frame'
Make sure you keep an eye on the external size of the custom frame (wall space - viewable in the summary section at the bottom of the custom frames page) as the bigger border sizes around the picture you choose, the larger the outside of the frame will be. The framing tool also allows you to to adjust the size of the borders of the mount around your picture, allowing you to create some incredibly striking effects. You now have the ability to play around with the different frames styles and colours on offer, as well as the different colours of mounts available. The easiest way to frame your artwork with a mount included is to head over to our dedicated page. 'Yes, I'd like to have a mount around my picture in the frame' Our custom frames are expertly manufactured in wood and available in a huge range of colours and styles. If your picture is an uncommon or non-standard size then don't worry, all you have to do is visit our custom frames page, type in the size of your picture and ensure you select 'no mount, thanks'.
If your picture is a standard size, you can buy a ready made frame to fit your picture perfectly. In this scenario you'll need to find out whether you have a standard sized picture or not. We offer both frames that are available in ready made sizes as well as the ability to create your own custom size frames and mounts, so which is the best option? Let's take a look at the following scenarios: 'I don't want a mount - I want the image to go straight into a frame' How does this affect the way I choose frames? This would provide a larger external (or wall space) measurement than simply 'your print + the width of the frame around your print'. This is because you must consider the size of the print + the mount border all away around your print + the frame itself. The frame with your print and the mount around it will be larger in size overall. If ( as shown in the example image above) you have two prints both of which are the same size, and you would like one of them mounted inside a frame, and one of them straight into a frame with no mount then the overall size of the frames will be different. Generally this is a more popular choice when framing larger posters in contrast with smaller artwork, but again this is completely subjective and down to your personal preference.īack to the top of the page How do mounts affect the size of the frame?
the image has gone directly into the frame. In the second image, the picture is framed with no mount border i.e. If you haven't printed your picture yet, try out our dedicated custom print and frame page. Your mount (if you order one) will arrive inside the frame, and will have a cut out/aperture inside to fit your picture size - the cut out that we will send to you will be ever so slightly smaller (3mm) on each side (left, right, top and bottom) to make it easier for you to align the image with the cut out. This provides more 'breathing space' around the image, and sets the image away from the frame. In the first image, we can see the Nightshade (one of our mount colour options) border surrounding the picture.
