Animal art prints are one of the most captivating and unique pieces of artwork that can be added to any room, office or hotel. Whether it’s a vibrant and colourful landscape or a delicate sketch of a bird in flight, animal-themed artwork is able to capture our attention and draw us into its story. With its stunning detail and beautiful colours, it is a perfect example of how animal art can be both eye-catching and meaningful.

To ensure that this special piece of artwork stands out even more in your home or office, it is advisable to get a custom picture frame that is tailored for your artwork to protect it against damage. Mahoneys Framing has everything you need for custom framing. With over a thousand frame mouldings to choose from, you can easily find the perfect frame for your artworks and photographs.

Our Recommendation

When it comes to framing printed art pieces, it is always helpful to keep in mind that the frame should be proportionate to the size of the artwork. For oversized and non-standard sized prints, we suggest that you get a custom frame tailored for the requirements of your prints.

Black picture frames are popular among hotel and gallery designers because of their contemporary style that can be matched with almost any artwork. Black frames make a beautiful addition to any collection of black-and-white photographs or prints, resulting in an elegant monochrome gallery wall. Furthermore, the contrast between the boldness of the black frames and the light background produces a captivating visual impact.

Black frames are also a great choice for vibrant coloured artworks as it makes the colours pop. With its neutral shade, a black frame provides the perfect contrast for brightly coloured prints and photographs.

Pairing your black frames with a white mat board will also be a great frame design because it highlights certain details of your art print. The popular combination is a black frame and a white mat board combination because of their contrasting yet complementary tones. Besides enhancing the visual effect, mat boards are essential in custom framing as they prevent the artwork from sticking directly onto the glass.

We also recommend adding conservation glass for protection against fading and discolouration. Museum glass is an all-time favourite for its 99% UV protection and ultimate clarity. This glass type helps prevent fading and discolouration caused by sunlight exposure, so your piece stays vibrant for a long time while its anti-glare coating gives you a crystal clear viewing experience. If you have a very large artwork or you are worried about glass breaking in your homes or offices, you can choose to have Perspex in your frames. Perspex is a type of cover that’s more impact resistance than glass so it’s almost unbreakable. Depending on your requirements, we have other glass options like 70% UV glass, UV protection Perspex and regular glass.
