Edo Ball Basketball Art Framing Guide — Best Options for Your Prints

Edo Ball fine art prints are available in A1, A2, and A3 sizes, each with a white border included. To ensure your print is displayed beautifully, we recommend two framing options along with guidance on mat colors and frame choices that will perfectly complement your artwork. Whether you’re framing for a home or office, this guide will help you achieve the best possible presentation.

1. frame to the art print border (no mat)

For a clean and modern look, you can frame the artwork directly to the edge of the printed paper, with no mat. This option works particularly well for standard frame sizes like A3, A2, and A1. The white border already included in the print gives the artwork a natural boundary that fits neatly into most off-the-shelf frames. However, keep in mind that if you’re using a 12x16 inch frame or 16x20 inch standard frame, some cropping of the paper might occur.

For a more customized look, we suggest purchasing a larger frame and opting for a custom mat to ensure the print is beautifully centered and not cropped.

2. Frame With Mat — Elevate Your Artwork with a Custom Border

For a more refined and professional look, framing with a custom mat can make a huge impact. This option works well when you want to add a feature color mat around your Edo Ball basketball print to highlight the artwork and create visual balance.

When choosing the color of the mat, we recommend selecting one that complements the color palette of the print, but not the most dominant color. For example, if your artwork has blue tones, consider a deeper blue mat to bring out the subtle undertones of the piece, rather than using a color that matches the most prominent shade.

This option is perfect for adding elegance and creating a more immersive visual experience for your basketball art.

Choosing the Right Framing Colour for Your Edo Ball Artwork

Choosing the right frame color can significantly affect how your Edo Ball print is perceived. Natural wood frames in shades of oak, pine, or bamboo beautifully complement artworks that feature more vibrant or lighter colors. For prints like The Gateway or The Great Game, these natural wood tones bring out the artwork’s bright hues and natural aesthetic.

For prints with more dark tones—like The Ghost or Spirit of The Mamba—we recommend black frames or dark wood frames to create a striking contrast and make the artwork stand out. These frames help enhance the boldness of the artwork and bring a sense of drama.

The frame color should ultimately match the setting where your print will hang and your personal style. Whether it’s a modern office or a cozy home, choose a frame that complements the space.

Framing Your Edo Ball Art — Gallery & Shadow Box Frames

Gallery Frames — A Sleek Option for Edo Ball Art

For a modern and professional look, gallery frames are a great choice for framing your Edo Ball prints. These frames highlight the artwork’s vibrant colors and intricate details, creating a clean, elegant display. Choose a frame finish like black, natural oak, or chestnut for a timeless aesthetic. Adding a custom mat can enhance the piece, adding depth to your basketball art.

Shadow Box Frames — Add Depth to Your Artwork

Shadow box frames create a unique 3D effect, adding depth to your Edo Ball artwork. These frames make your print pop by allowing it to sit away from the backing, creating a floating effect. Great for fans who want to make their basketball art feel even more dynamic, shadow boxes are perfect for adding small keepsakes or memorabilia.
