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 often easier and more cost-effective to frame, while less common ratios may require custom framing.

Understanding art print sizes and formats

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.

Fine art print sizes and white border guidance

Most Atelier Lumin fine art prints are produced on 200 gsm matte fine art paper and include a white border around the artwork. This border forms part of the full paper size and creates a calm, considered presentation with space around the image, making framing simpler and helping the artwork feel at home in considered interiors.

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 other vertical spaces where height helps draw the eye upwards. They work beautifully as single statement pieces or in pairs, and can be especially effective as hallway wall art or framed prints. Common portrait print sizes include familiar photographic dimensions such as 8 × 10 inches and 16 × 20 inches, which are widely used in both residential and professional settings. The A-series paper sizes, A4, A3, A2 and A1, are also frequently chosen for portrait prints, with A1 (594 × 841 mm) being the largest commonly used size in this series.

Use the portrait size chart below to find dimensions that suit your wall and viewing distance.

• 4 × 6 in (10 × 15 cm), 0.5 in (1.3 cm) border
• 6 × 9 in (15 × 22 cm), 0.5 in (1.3 cm) border
• 8 × 12 in (20 × 30 cm), 0.75 in (1.9 cm) border
• 12 × 18 in (30 × 45 cm), 1 in (2.5 cm) border
• 16 × 24 in (40 × 61 cm), 1 in (2.5 cm) border
• 20 × 30 in (50 × 76 cm), 1.5 in (3.8 cm) border
• 24 × 36 in (61 × 91 cm), 2 in (5 cm) border
• 30 × 45 in (76 × 114 cm), 2 in (5 cm) border
• 40 × 60 in (101 × 152 cm), 2 in (5 cm) border

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. Larger landscape fine art prints, such as 18 × 24 inches and 24 × 36 inches, are especially popular above seating areas, particularly when featuring mountain wall art. Larger formats are useful for filling wide wall spaces while maintaining visual presence and proportion.

Use the landscape size chart below to compare dimensions across different widths and heights.

• 6 × 4 in (15 × 10 cm), 0.5 in (1.3 cm) border
• 9 × 6 in (22 × 15 cm), 0.5 in (1.3 cm) border
• 12 × 8 in (30 × 20 cm), 0.75 in (1.9 cm) border
• 18 × 12 in (45 × 30 cm), 1 in (2.5 cm) border
• 24 × 16 in (61 × 40 cm), 1 in (2.5 cm) border
• 30 × 20 in (76 × 51 cm), 1.5 in (3.8 cm) border
• 36 × 24 in (91 × 61 cm), 2 in (5 cm) border
• 45 × 30 in (114 × 76 cm), 2 in (5 cm) border
• 60 × 40 in (152 × 101 cm), 2 in (5 cm) border

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 and calm, minimalist interiors where proportion and simplicity matter, particularly with nature wall art, botanical pieces and landscape prints.

Among fine art print sizes, square prints are available in both standard and custom dimensions, with a 1:1 aspect ratio as the defining proportion. This makes them straightforward to frame and well suited to a wide range of display settings.

Use the square size chart below to find the dimensions that best suit your space.

• 20 × 20 cm (8 × 8 in), 1.3 cm (0.5 in) border
• 30 × 30 cm (12 × 12 in), 1.9 cm (0.75 in) border
• 40 × 40 cm (16 × 16 in), 1.9 cm (0.75 in) border
• 51 × 51 cm (20 × 20 in), 2.5 cm (1 in) border
• 61 × 61 cm (24 × 24 in), 2.5 cm (1 in) border
• 71 × 71 cm (28 × 28 in), 3.8 cm (1.5 in) border
• 81 × 81 cm (32 × 32 in), 5 cm (2 in) border
• 91 × 91 cm (36 × 36 in), 5 cm (2 in) border
• 101 × 101 cm (40 × 40 in), 5 cm (2 in) border

Understanding aspect ratios: how print proportions affect scale and composition

Aspect ratio describes the relationship between the width and height of a print. It helps determine whether 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.

The size charts above show how common aspect ratios translate into available print dimensions across portrait, landscape and square formats.

If you are comparing sizes, use the charts above to check which format best matches both 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.

How to choose the right art size for your wall and room

A good place to start is by measuring your available wall space and comparing it with the print dimensions shown in the charts above. Smaller prints can work beautifully in compact spaces, on shelves, along narrow walls or as part of a grouped arrangement. Larger prints are usually better suited to open wall areas and more prominent placements.

If you are choosing artwork for a specific room, planning a gallery wall or hanging art above furniture, 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 often helps 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 piece will sit within the room.

Print size and scale: matching artwork to viewing distance

As a simple guide, larger prints tend to work best where they can be viewed from a little further away, such as above a sofa, bed, console table or across an open wall. Smaller prints are often 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 the distance from which the artwork will usually be seen. 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.

White borders on fine art prints: function and benefits

White borders are included on many of our fine art prints to make framing easier and to give each piece a polished, gallery-inspired finish. The border sits around the printed image and forms part of the overall paper size. It can look especially refined on black and white wall art and monochrome prints, where contrast and balance matter.

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

If you prefer a full-bleed look, choose the no-border option where available, or leave a note at checkout if you would like help selecting the finish that will feel most at home in your space.

Framing your art print: sizing and standard frame options

If you plan to frame your print yourself, 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, particularly 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 ready for simple display.

Print formats and artwork styles: choosing the best size range

Different artwork styles suit different formats. Landscape prints often work well in wider sizes, while square prints can feel balanced and versatile in considered 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.

Finding your ideal size range: browsing available art print formats

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

Use the charts above to compare dimensions across portrait, landscape, panoramic and square formats. If you would like more practical guidance on what will feel most balanced in your space, visit our room-by-room art print size guide.
