Art size, frame orientation, and matting…oh my! Here at Frame It Easy, we understand that when it comes to custom framing, it is not just an impulse buy. There are a lot of factors that you will need to consider before submitting your order. You first need to find where you will be hanging your frames (and measure<\/a>), decide what you are framing<\/a>, and then choose how you will design your frame to coordinate<\/a> with your other decor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that being said, the frame orientation of your piece (portrait vs landscape) is also an important step when designing your frame. When you receive your frame, we want to make sure it is perfect, that’s why measuring and putting in your correct Art Size is very important! You don\u2019t want to receive a frame that fits your art perfectly, but hangs vertically when it’s supposed to hang horizontally!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re sharing with you some simple steps to take so that you get the perfect measurements and orientation for your frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portrait vs Landscape Orientation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"living<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, let’s start with the most basic of fundamentals. There are two types of orientation<\/a> \u2014 portrait and landscape. There is a pretty easy distinction between the two.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portrait<\/strong> is a frame that hangs vertically. Its height is greater than its width. The name is pretty obvious because most pieces of art that featured this orientation are, well, portraits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landscape<\/strong> is the exact opposite of portrait. Its width is greater than its height. It got this distinction because, you guessed it, most pieces of art that utilize it are landscapes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, other types of art can be assigned to either orientation. The names are just a generalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
