A3 frames

A3 is 29.7×42 cm, exactly twice the area of A4. It is the size at which a picture starts to hold a wall on its own: right for posters, art prints and pictures you want to stand out.

An A3 frame, ready to hang

At A3 the weight of the glass and the molding starts to be felt, so how the frame hangs matters more: we fit the back with hanging hardware suited to the size, so the frame sits straight on the wall and doesn't tilt over time.

At this size you can also afford a wider molding than on A4 without the frame taking over the picture, especially for paintings and art prints, where a molding with some presence adds gravitas.

A3 with a mat: the practical rule

A mat is the thick board between the picture and the frame, and at this size it almost always improves the result. An A3 print in a larger frame with a 5–7 cm mat looks like a gallery display rather than a poster on the wall.

Mats come in a wide range of shades. The safe default is off-white or cream, which doesn't compete with the picture's colors; a colored mat works well when you want to pull out a specific color from the picture.

A3 or A4: how to choose

A4 (21×29.7 cm) is a document size: a certificate, a diploma, a printed page or a small photo. A3 (29.7×42 cm) is a picture size: a poster, an art print, a landscape photo or a family photo meant to be seen from across the room.

A rule of thumb for the wall: a picture viewed from a chair or sofa 2–3 meters away works better at A3; a picture viewed up close, in a hallway, by a desk or in an entryway, is fine at A4.

Mixing with A4 frames on a gallery wall

The simplest way to build a gallery wall is one A3 in the center as an anchor, with several A4 frames around it. The two sizes are in exact proportion to each other, so the arrangement comes out tidy even without planning ahead.

To make the wall read as one piece rather than a collection, keep the same molding and the same mat shade in every frame, and a consistent 5–8 cm gap between them. Come to the studio with the wall measurements and we'll work it out together.

What are the exact dimensions of A3?

29.7×42 cm, exactly twice the area of A4.

A3 or A4: which is right for me?

A4 for a certificate, a document or a small photo seen up close; A3 for a poster, an art print or a picture seen from 2–3 meters away.

Can I add a mat to an A3 frame?

Yes, in any color you like. At A3, a 5–7 cm mat gives the look of a gallery display.
