At The Simple Sandpiper, our digital downloads are designed to make your home feel personal, polished, and peaceful. But once you’ve chosen the perfect print, the next step—framing—can make all the difference in how your artwork comes to life.
Whether you're styling a cozy reading nook, a breezy hallway, or a gallery wall in the heart of your home, here are a few simple tips to help you frame your digital art beautifully.
1. Choose a Frame That Matches the Mood
Each print in our shop evokes a specific tone—calm, coastal, moody, vintage, or cheerful. Match your frame to that emotion:
- Natural woods for botanical or beachy prints
- White or black frames for minimal, modern looks
- Distressed finishes for farmhouse or vintage-inspired styles
The goal is to let the art speak while gently complementing your décor.
2. Pay Attention to Sizing
Most of our digital downloads come with multiple size ratios, so you can print in the format that fits your space best. We include:
- 2:3 (e.g., 16x24, 24x36 inches)
- 3:4, 4:5, 11x14
- ISO sizes A1 to A5
- Square (1:1) or 16:9 for specific prints like TV Frame Art
Each listing clearly shows which ratios are included, and product images often show the options visually. If a piece has a unique size or is square-only, it will be clearly noted.
Need a custom size? You can always reach out, and we’re happy to help.
3. Don’t Forget Matting (Optional but Lovely)
A mat board between the print and the frame can elevate the presentation and give the art room to breathe. If you're framing a smaller print in a larger frame, a white or off-white mat works beautifully.
4. Print with Care
For professional-quality results, we recommend a trusted print partner like Prints of Love. They handle each order with care, and you can even plant a tree with your purchase. (Details and a special discount code are in our FAQ.)
5. Hang with Intention
Whether you’re hanging a single statement piece or building a gallery wall, think about lighting, eye level, and balance. Try laying pieces out on the floor first before making the first mark on your wall.
Your Space, Your Style
Framing digital art doesn't have to be complicated. With just a little care, your walls can reflect your personality and story. At The Simple Sandpiper, we believe that even small details can make your everyday surroundings feel special.
