go BIG with your prints!

do you think an 8x10 is big enough to stand alone on your wall? think again... an 8x10 is actually considered a desk print! of course, 8x10s and 5x7s look great when framed on a wall with multiple prints (more on that in another post), but if you are looking for a standalone framed print on your wall, go BIGGER! here is an example from a recent order. my client wanted a large print of her two beautiful children to display in her home, so she ordered this 16x20 mounted image. (anything larger than an 8x10 comes mounted on 2mm styrene.) i was so excited when i saw it, and she was, too... it really looks gorgeous! but check out how it looks when simply set on the mantle... it's really not too big and definitely not obtrusive in any way. depending on the size of the frame, you might even still need some other frames on the left & right to fill the space. and this is with a 16x20 print! can you imagine a teeny 8x10 up there all alone?

don't be afraid to go BIG! :)
