What Ready to Hang Framed Art Actually Includes

Ready to hang framed art is a print that arrives already mounted in its frame, fitted with hanging hardware, and packed so you can put it on the wall the day it lands. At LagomDesigns, each piece is made to order and professionally framed with hanging hardware included.

That definition matters more than it sounds. Buying ready to hang framed art means the piece arrives framed, rather than requiring you to frame it yourself.

A LagomDesigns framed piece is professionally framed and includes hanging hardware.

The framing is done.

How to Choose Art for Your Home Without Second-Guessing

One way to choose art for your home is to pick a piece you respond to, then consider your wall colour and room function.

Framed prints can be moved between rooms and walls. You might consider choosing a piece you want to look at every day, rather than choosing only to match a sofa.

A practical approach:

  1. Start with the room's job. A home office needs low-distraction art. A hallway can carry something bolder.
  2. Check the palette against your largest surface. Your wall, not your cushions, sets the tone.
  3. Buy one piece first. Live with it for a week before committing to a set.
  4. Ignore trend lists. A print you liked two years ago still works.

You could start with one piece and build from there.

Art Print Frame Sizes: Measuring Your Wall Before You Buy

Measure the wall first, then choose the frame size, not the other way round. Consider the wall when choosing a frame size.

Before you order, note three numbers: the wall width, the wall height, and the height of the furniture below it. When planning art above furniture, consider how the placement relates to the furniture and the rest of the wall.

Then consider the width of the furniture beneath the art and the available wall space when choosing a size.

Consider the available wall space when choosing a frame size.

If you are unsure, consider the available wall space before choosing a size.

A tight arrangement that treats the group as one shape is one option to consider for a small or awkward space. See this guide to arranging a gallery wall in a small apartment for more specific guidance.

Three layout ideas to consider:

  • The vertical stack. Three pieces in a single column, centred on a narrow wall between a door and a corner. It uses height instead of width.
  • The tight grid. Four or six pieces in a close grid with even gaps. The group reads as one block.
  • The anchor row. A single horizontal line of three pieces above a low console, sized to the furniture rather than the wall.

For a gallery wall, consider how you want to arrange the pieces. Once your layout is set, follow this step-by-step hanging guide to put it on the wall.

You can choose consistent gaps between pieces.

Professional art framing can involve placing a print inside a frame with a protective front.

Frame depth and the front cover are details to consider when evaluating framed art.
