Hi Everyone,

I have a friend who will display my work in his office (hurray!!!!)

The question is, what is the size of the frame for a picture like that?
I plan to have the picture matted too.

The second question would be, are there ready made frames for that size?

Thank you,
Sorin

From my experience any image generally has minimum mat boarder of at least 2 inches on all side, but for a more dramatic impact of the image a lot of people do opt to do a 4 inch mat boarder all the way around.

Small size 12 x 16 inch frame

Large size 16 x 20 inch frame

Both are a standard size frame size, I would go for the larger size with it on an office wall.

A 12 x 16 inch frame is standard size? Where can you get these for a decent price?
