Mount vs. No Mount

Should a picture have a mount?

We think some prints look better without a mount. For example, large posters and photographic prints have a great finish when placed directly in a frame. If you have a graphic or typography print and want a polished and contemporary finish, again, we advise you to opt for a frame without a mount.

A mount is a great way to provide 'breathing space' in between your artwork and the frame itself. We think mounts are beneficial for a variety of reasons. They provide protection and support, as well as improving the visual appeal of pictures and photographs.

We’ve put together some examples of prints with and without mounts – we hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to get in touch we’re always available to help you to choose you mount options.
