Rectangle Picture Frame 45×60 cm

Rectangle Picture Frame 45×60 cm – A Statement Frame for Art, Posters and Photos

Every home has that one print you’ve been meaning to frame. Maybe it’s an art poster from an exhibition, a botanical illustration, a city map, or a photo from a trip you’ll never forget. Too often it stays rolled up in a tube or stuck to the wall with tape. Our rectangle picture frame 45×60 cm turns it into a finished piece of wall art. At about 17.7 x 23.6 inches, it’s big enough to become the focal point of a room, without needing a huge expanse of wall.

We make it from smooth MDF, glaze it with lightweight HD plexiglass, and finish it in black, white, oak or rustic. The hanging hooks come fitted, so it’s ready to go up as soon as your print is in.

Why Choose This Size?

The 45×60 cm format sits in a sweet spot between medium and large frames. Here’s why it’s such a popular choice:

• It has real presence. A rectangle picture frame 45×60 cm fills a wall above a sofa, bed or sideboard far better than a smaller frame, which can look lost in a big space.
• It isn’t overwhelming. It also suits smaller rooms, flats and narrow walls, where an oversized poster frame would dominate.
• It has a balanced 3:4 shape. That’s a classic proportion for art prints and posters, and it matches the shape of most smartphone photos, so your own images can be enlarged without awkward cropping.
• It’s a standard print size. Many art print shops and photo labs offer prints in 45×60 cm, so finding artwork to fit is easy.

What Fits Inside

A rectangle picture frame 45×60 cm works with a wide range of print sizes:

Your print	Fit
45 x 60 cm	Perfect, edge to edge
A2 (42 x 59.4 cm)	Fits with a slim gap at the sides; add a mount or a white backing sheet for a neat finish
40 x 50 cm	Fits with a mount for a balanced border
A3 (29.7 x 42 cm)	Fits with a wide mount for a gallery-style look
18 x 24 inches (45.7 x 61 cm)	Slightly too large, so it would need trimming

Portrait or Landscape, Your Choice

Fitted hooks mean you can hang your rectangle picture frame 45×60 cm upright or on its side, depending on the artwork:

• Portrait suits exhibition posters, full-length photos, botanical prints, typography and abstract art with a strong vertical flow.
• Landscape suits panoramic travel photos, coastal scenes, city skylines, maps and wide family photos.

If you’re not sure which way to go, think about the space. A portrait frame adds height to a narrow wall or alcove, while a landscape frame mirrors the width of a sofa or bed.

Specifications

Each rectangle picture frame 45×60 cm is made to the following specification:

Feature	Detail
Artwork size	45 x 60 cm (approx. 17.7 x 23.6 inches)
Shape	3:4 ratio
Material	MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard)
Moulding width	30 mm
Frame depth	15 mm
Rebate	8 mm
Glazing	HD plexiglass
Colours	Black, White, Oak, Rustic
Finish	Wood grain (black, oak, rustic); plain (white)
Orientation	Portrait or landscape
Hanging	Fitted hanging hooks

The 30 mm moulding gives artwork a clean, contemporary border, wide enough to look substantial but not so heavy that it competes with the image. The 15 mm depth keeps the profile slim on the wall, and the 8 mm rebate has room for the plexiglass, your print, an optional mount and the backing board. MDF stays straight and stable along the 60 cm sides, so the frame keeps its shape for years.

Lightweight, Shatter-Resistant Glazing

Instead of glass, every rectangle picture frame 45×60 cm uses HD plexiglass. It’s clear enough to show bright colours, fine lines and photographic detail at their best, and it weighs far less than a glass pane of the same size. That makes the frame easier to hang and much safer, as it won’t shatter into sharp pieces if it falls. That’s ideal for hallways, children’s rooms and busy family homes. It’s also far less likely to be damaged in the post.

Peel the protective film off both sides before you put your print in.

Choosing a Finish

The right finish for your rectangle picture frame 45×60 cm depends on both the artwork and the room:

Black: sharp and graphic, with a subtle wood-grain texture. It’s ideal for monochrome photography, typography, line drawings and modern interiors.

White: smooth and plain. It’s perfect for colourful prints, Scandinavian-style rooms and bright spaces where you want the art to take centre stage.

Oak: warm and natural. It pairs beautifully with botanical prints, landscapes, earthy colour palettes and wooden furniture.

Rustic: weathered and textured. It’s full of character, making it ideal for vintage maps, coastal art, cottage interiors and farmhouse-style kitchens.

Ideas for Every Room

A rectangle picture frame 45×60 cm fits comfortably into almost any space:

• Living room: a bold abstract print or travel photo above the sofa.
• Bedroom: a calm landscape or botanical print above the bed or a chest of drawers.
• Home office: an inspiring poster or map behind your desk, where it also looks great on video calls.
• Hallway: a striking print that sets the tone the moment guests walk in.
• Kitchen or dining room: a food illustration, vintage advert-style print or family photo on an open wall.
• Children’s room: an alphabet chart, a colourful illustration or a favourite large painting, safely behind shatter-resistant plexiglass.

Pairs, Trios and Gallery Walls

This size works beautifully in groups. Hang two of them side by side for a balanced pair, such as matching botanical prints or two halves of a split image. Or line up three in a row above a long sideboard. For a bigger gallery wall, use a rectangle picture frame 45×60 cm as the centrepiece and arrange smaller frames around it, keeping a consistent gap of around 5–8 cm between each one.

Putting Your Print In

Lay the frame face down on a clean, soft surface and release the fixings. Lift out the backing board and the plexiglass, then remove the protective film from both sides. Place the plexiglass back in the frame, lay your print face down on top (with a mount first if you’re using one), and press the backing board into place. If your poster arrived rolled, flatten it under a few heavy books for a day or two first, so it lies smooth behind the plexiglass.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size print fits a rectangle picture frame 45×60 cm?

A 45×60 cm print fits edge to edge. A2, 40×50 cm and A3 prints also fit with a mount or backing sheet.

How big is 45×60 cm in inches?

45 x 60 cm is about 17.7 x 23.6 inches.

Will an 18×24 inch poster fit?

Not quite. An 18×24 inch poster measures about 45.7 x 61 cm, so it’s slightly too large and would need a small trim.

Can I hang it landscape?

Yes. The frame can be hung in either portrait or landscape orientation.

Is the glazing real glass?

No. It’s HD plexiglass, a clear acrylic sheet that is lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

How should I clean it?

Dust the frame with a dry, soft cloth. Clean the plexiglass with a microfibre cloth and a little mild soapy water. Avoid paper towels and ammonia-based sprays, which can scratch or cloud acrylic.
