The complete order

Put this work on your wall

Pick a size, then order the art, its matching frame and the finishing gear. If this work has no ready-made print, download the free file and upload it to the linked custom printer.

Print and frame use the same outside size. Preview the image placement before buying.

A mat needs a smaller print and a custom opening. We'll recalculate both below. Check the frame's actual opening before cutting.

The light width follows your frame size.

The size chart

How big can you print it?

Worked out from the free 3,349 × 4,226 px file. Standard frame sizes, turned to match the painting. "Crops" is how much of the picture you lose filling that frame edge to edge — or keep it all and let a mat take up the difference. Poster-sharp to 22.3 × 28.2 in at 150 dpi.

The story

Van Gogh painted the Sunflowers series to hang in the bedroom he was preparing for Gauguin in Arles. It was hospitality. It was also an argument about what yellow could do.

Almost every print of it is over-saturated into orange. Look for a version where the background yellow and the flower yellow are clearly different yellows. If they are the same, skip it.

This is the kitchen painting. Not the living room. The kitchen.

What it pairs with

A kitchen wall and a frame in raw or pale wood.

Buying notes

  • Matte paper usually cuts glare in a bright room. If you prefer a glossy finish, check it under the light where you plan to hang it.
  • Compare sizes against your wall before ordering. The wall fitterhelps you see whether a larger frame works.
  • Try a centre around 57 inches from the floor, then adjust for furniture and sight lines.
  • A mat can give a smaller print breathing room; check the opening size before buying.
