Constanso Beige Artwork, Set of 2

For this set, "customer assembly required" typically involves placing the double-matted watercolor prints into the frames and securing the backings. This allows for more secure packaging during shipment to prevent glass breakage. Once assembled, the 26-inch vertical height and professional matting provide an elevated, custom-framed appearance for your home.

This set is finished under glass, which provides a protective barrier against dust and environmental factors. For coastal homes or high-humidity areas, this glass and the double-matted design help shield the watercolor prints from salt air and moisture. However, to ensure the longevity of the paper prints and prevent warping, our experts recommend hanging them in well-ventilated rooms and avoiding placement directly opposite a steam source, such as a shower.

To achieve a professional, balanced look, we recommend following the "two-thirds rule," which suggests that your wall decor should occupy roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of the width of the furniture below it. Since each print in this set is 22 inches wide, hanging the pair with a 3-inch gap creates a total width of 47 inches. This makes the set an ideal focal point for furniture pieces approximately 60 to 72 inches wide, such as a standard sofa or a dining room sideboard.

To preserve the clarity of the glass and the finish of the gunmetal gray frames, our care guidelines suggest dusting regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. When a deeper clean is needed for the glass, always spray a small amount of ammonia-free glass cleaner onto the cloth first—rather than directly onto the glass—to prevent liquid from seeping behind the frame and damaging the matting or artwork.

Double matting is a hallmark of high-quality framing that creates a sophisticated 3D effect by adding depth and a sense of "breathing room" around the artwork. Beyond aesthetics, the mats serve a functional purpose by creating a small gap between the watercolor print and the glass. This prevents condensation and ensures the artwork doesn't stick to the glass over time, preserving both the condition and the value of the prints.

Yes, vertical orientation is a classic design strategy for smaller living spaces or rooms with lower ceilings. By hanging these 26-inch high prints, you draw the eye upward, creating an illusion of greater ceiling height and vertical volume. This technique helps a room feel more open and airy rather than compressed.
