Rectangle Picture Frame 17×23 inches

Picture Frame 17×23 Inches – Make a Bold Statement on Any Wall

Every room needs a focal point – that one piece that catches the eye the moment you walk in. Our picture frame 17×23 inches is made to be exactly that. At about 43.2 x 58.4 cm, it’s large enough to command attention above a fireplace, console table or bed, yet still easy to hang and live with. It turns a favourite print, poster or photo into a true centrepiece.

Each frame is made from sturdy MDF, glazed with clear HD plexiglass and available in black, white, oak or rustic. It hangs in portrait or landscape, so it suits tall portraits and wide views alike.

Why Choose a Picture Frame 17×23 Inches?

Small frames are lovely, but some images only come alive when they’re big. This size gives you:

• Real impact. At almost 60 cm tall, it fills a wall with confidence instead of getting lost on it.
• Room for detail. Large art prints, maps and landscapes reveal fine details that disappear at smaller sizes.
• A balanced shape. Its classic proportions look natural in both portrait and landscape.
• Statement without the bulk. It’s bigger than standard frames, but more manageable than a maxi poster frame.

Choosing the Right Spot for a Large Frame

A bigger frame looks best when it’s well placed. A few simple guidelines from interior designers help:

• Hang it at eye level. Aim for the centre of the frame to sit about 145–150 cm from the floor.
• Over furniture, leave a gap. Above a sofa, sideboard or headboard, keep about 20–25 cm between the furniture and the bottom of the frame.
• Think in proportion. A single picture frame 17×23 inches suits a fireplace, console table, hallway or narrow wall. Above a wide sofa, try two frames side by side.
• Plan before you drill. Cut a sheet of paper or card to the frame’s size and tape it to the wall to check the position first.

Tip: use two wall hooks rather than one for a large frame. It keeps the frame level and stops it shifting over time.

Getting Your Print Right

To fill your picture frame 17×23 inches with a sharp, perfectly fitting print:

1. Choose a high-quality image. At this size, detail matters. Use original photos or high-resolution art files.
2. Check the resolution. Aim for at least 3,500 pixels on the longest side for a crisp result.
3. Crop if needed. Standard phone photos are a very similar shape and only need a tiny trim.
4. Order a 17×23 inch print. Many online photo labs and print shops offer custom sizes. Then open the back of the frame, add your print and close it up.

Ideas for Your Picture Frame 17×23 Inches

• Above the fireplace. A large landscape or abstract print makes the mantelpiece the heart of the room.
• Family portrait enlargements. A professional family photo deserves to be seen at a generous size.
• Wedding photo centrepiece. Your favourite wedding moment, printed big, becomes a daily reminder of the day.
• Large art prints and posters. Exhibition posters, film-style prints and abstract art feel gallery-worthy at this scale.
• Hallway and stairway feature. A bold piece at the end of a corridor draws the eye and makes the space feel finished.
• Office and reception walls. A large framed print gives work spaces a professional, welcoming feel.

Built for Bigger Displays

A large frame needs to stay straight from corner to corner. MDF is made by pressing fine wood fibres into a dense, smooth board, so it resists warping and twisting far better than many solid woods, while giving an even base for each colour finish.

Every picture frame 17×23 inches is fitted with HD plexiglass rather than glass. That matters even more at this size: plexiglass is much lighter than glass, making the frame easier to hang, and it’s shatter-resistant, so it’s a safer choice above sofas, beds and in busy hallways. Remember to peel the protective film off both sides before adding your print.

Choosing a Finish

Each finish of the picture frame 17×23 inches gives your statement piece a different character:

Black has a fine wood-grain texture that looks bold and gallery-like, ideal for abstract art, posters and monochrome photography.

White is smooth and plain. It feels light and modern, perfect for coastal scenes, wedding photos and bright, airy rooms.

Oak has a warm, natural grain that suits landscapes, family portraits and wooden furniture.

Rustic has a weathered, textured grain that brings warmth and character to country homes and vintage-style art.

Care Tips

Dust the frame with a soft, dry cloth. Clean the plexiglass with a microfibre cloth and a little mild soapy water, avoiding kitchen roll and household glass sprays, which can scratch or cloud acrylic. If your picture frame 17×23 inches hangs opposite a sunny window, keep an eye on your print, as strong daylight can fade colours over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will an A2 print fit a picture frame 17×23 inches?

Not quite. A2 (42 x 59.4 cm) is about 1 cm longer than this frame, so it would need a small trim. Our A-series frames are made for A2 prints.

Will my phone photos fit?

Very nearly. Phone photos are a similar shape and only need a tiny crop to fit perfectly.

Is 17×23 the same as 23×17?

Yes. It’s the same frame. The order of the numbers just depends on whether it hangs in portrait or landscape.

Will an 18×24 inch poster fit?

No. 18×24 inches is larger than this frame in both directions.

Is it heavy to hang?

No. Thanks to the lightweight plexiglass, it’s much lighter than a glass frame of the same size. Two wall hooks will keep it secure and level.

Is the front glass?

No. It’s HD plexiglass, which is clear, lightweight, and shatter-resistant.
