Choosing the right size can make all the difference to how a fine art print feels in your space. This guide is here to help you compare Atelier Lumin print sizes, understand our white borders, and choose proportions that suit your wall, frame, and room.

Need help choosing the right scale for your room? See our full guide to how to choose the right size art print for your room for room-by-room advice on placement, proportion, and layout.

Our fine art prints are available in a range of portrait, landscape, panoramic, and square formats, with sizes shown clearly on each product page. Common aspect ratios include 2:3, 4:5, and 1:1, giving you flexible options for different walls, layouts, and framing styles. Many prints include a clean white border as standard, creating a refined gallery-style finish while making framing simpler. Standard print sizes are also easier and more cost-effective to frame, while less common ratios may require custom framing.

Introduction to Fine Art Prints

Choosing the right print size can change how artwork feels in a room, from a quiet accent to a stronger focal point. This guide helps you compare Atelier Lumin fine art print sizes, understand common aspect ratios, and choose a format that works with your wall, frame, and available space.

Our size charts are designed as a practical reference, so you can quickly check dimensions before ordering. For more detailed room-by-room advice on scale, placement, and layout, visit our art print size guide.

Print Sizes & White Borders

Most Atelier Lumin fine art prints include a white border around the artwork. This border is part of the full paper size and is designed to create a calm, considered presentation with space around the image, reflecting our focus on museum-quality fine art prints and craftsmanship.

Border sizes may vary depending on the selected print size, artwork ratio and product format. Where available, a no-border option can be selected for a full edge-to-edge finish.

Portrait Print Sizes

Portrait prints are ideal for narrow walls, reading corners, bedrooms, hallways and vertical spaces where height helps draw the eye upward. They work beautifully as single statement pieces or in pairs, and can be especially effective as hallway wall art and framed prints. Among the most common sizes for portrait prints are popular photo print sizes like 8x10 inches and 16x20 inches, which are widely used for both personal and professional art displays. The A-series paper sizes—A4, A3, A2, and A1—are also frequently chosen for portrait prints, with A1 (594 x 841 mm) being the largest commonly used size in this series. When considering photo print sizes, it's important to note that a 2:3 aspect ratio is typical for standard photography, while a 4:5 ratio is common for portrait prints and framing.

Landscape Print Sizes

Landscape prints are well suited to wider walls, above sofas, beds, sideboards and dining areas. Their horizontal shape helps create a sense of calm, balance and openness in a room. Among the common sizes for landscape fine art prints, larger pieces such as 18×24 inches and 24×36 inches are especially popular for making bold, eye-catching statements in home decor, especially when you’re working with mountain wall art and landscape fine art prints. Large format prints are ideal for filling wide wall spaces, and when selecting landscape print sizes, it’s important to consider both image width and image height to ensure optimal print quality and fit.

Square Print Sizes

Square prints offer a balanced, modern format that works well in almost any room. They are especially effective in gallery walls, symmetrical layouts, or calm minimalist interiors where proportion and simplicity matter, particularly when featuring nature wall art and botanical or landscape prints. Among fine art print sizes, square prints are available in both standard sizes and common sizes, with the 1:1 aspect ratio being the standard for square formats. This makes them easy to frame and ideal for a variety of display settings.

Aspect Ratios and Print Shape

Aspect ratio describes the relationship between the width and height of a print. It helps determine whether an artwork feels tall and elegant, wide and expansive, or balanced and square.

Common formats include 2:3 for many portrait and landscape prints, 3:2 for wider landscape compositions, and 1:1 for square artwork. Choosing a size that suits the artwork’s original ratio helps preserve the composition, avoiding unnecessary cropping or distortion.

If you are comparing sizes, use the charts above to check which format best matches the artwork and the wall space you have in mind. For more practical advice on scale, placement, and room-by-room layout, visit our art print size guide.

Choosing the Right Size

As a general guide, start by measuring your wall space and comparing it with the print dimensions shown in the charts above. A smaller print can work beautifully in compact spaces, shelves, narrow walls, or grouped arrangements, while larger prints are better suited to open wall spaces and statement placements.

If you are choosing artwork for a specific room, furniture placement, or gallery wall, our full guide to choosing the right size art print for your room covers scale, layout, eye-level placement, artwork above furniture, and gallery wall spacing in more detail.

If you are unsure, it can help to mark out the artwork size on your wall with low-tack tape before ordering. This gives a clearer sense of scale and helps you see how the artwork will sit within the room.

That keeps the useful customer support element, but avoids competing with the main page. Think of this page as the measuring tape; the main guide is the interior styling chat over coffee.

Print Size and Viewing Distance

As a simple guide, larger prints tend to work best where they can be viewed from further away, such as above a sofa, bed, console table, or open wall. Smaller prints are better suited to closer viewing, including shelves, narrow walls, bedside spaces, desks, and grouped arrangements.

Use the size charts above to compare dimensions, then consider how far away the artwork will usually be viewed. For more detailed advice on scale, placement, and room-by-room layout, see our guide to choosing the right size art print for your room.

About Our White Borders

White borders are included on many of our fine art prints to make framing easier and give each piece a polished, gallery-inspired finish. The border sits around the printed artwork and forms part of the overall paper size, lending particular refinement to black and white wall art and monochrome prints where contrast is key.

A white border can help protect the artwork during handling, create visual breathing space, and allow the image to sit beautifully within a frame.

Prefer a full-bleed look? Choose the no-border option where available, or leave us a note at checkout if you need help selecting the best finish.

Framing Considerations

If you plan to frame your print yourself, always check the full paper size shown on the product page before ordering a frame. The listed print size usually refers to the full sheet size, including any white border.

Standard sizes are usually easier and more cost-effective to frame, as ready-made frames are widely available. Less common sizes or unusual aspect ratios may require custom framing, especially for larger pieces.

For a ready-to-hang option, explore our framed fine art prints and framed wall art collections. These pieces are professionally finished and designed to arrive prepared for simple display.

Print Style and Format

Different artwork styles can suit different formats. Landscape prints often work well in wider sizes, while square prints can feel balanced and versatile in contemporary interiors. Portrait formats are useful for narrow walls, alcoves, and grouped arrangements, while larger abstract or minimal pieces can create a stronger focal point in open spaces.

Use the size charts above to compare available dimensions, then consider how the artwork’s shape, scale, and subject will sit within your room.

Choosing from Our Available Sizes

You do not need a print size calculator to order from Atelier Lumin. Each artwork is prepared for the sizes shown on its product page, so you can choose the format that best suits your wall, frame, and room.

Use the charts above to compare dimensions across portrait, landscape, panoramic, and square formats. For help deciding which size will feel most balanced in your space, visit our room-by-room art print size guide.
