Every Contemplo print comes in two finishes: framed with border, ready to hang, or unframed, as a print on its own. Neither is the wrong answer. It depends on your walls, your budget and how much you want to do yourself.
Framed with border: ready to hang
The print arrives in a frame with a white border around the image, so it can go straight on the wall.
- Best for: people who want it finished and hung this week, gifts, and larger sizes, where custom framing elsewhere gets expensive.
- The border matters: a margin of white around a photograph gives it room to breathe and makes it look more like a gallery piece.
- Only option for the largest size: our 100 × 150 cm print is framed only.
Unframed: the print on its own
- Best for: people who already have a frame, want a particular moulding or colour to match their home, or have a framer they love.
- Lower cost up front: unframed prints start from $209 for 30 × 42 cm.
- Free delivery anywhere in Australia.

A quick way to decide
- Want it on the wall quickly, or giving it as a gift? Framed.
- Already have a frame, or want to match existing frames in the room? Unframed.
- Going big, at 83 × 118 cm or larger? Framed is usually the better value, as custom frames at this size cost a lot elsewhere.
