The Bestselling 'How Lucky Are We Print': Framing, Sizes and Styling
If you've found your way here, chances are you've already fallen for our How Lucky Are We print. It's become one of our best-loved pieces, and we get asked the same handful of questions about it again and again: what size should I get, can I have it framed, and where does it actually look best? This guide answers all three.
What sizes does the How Lucky Are We print come in?
The How Lucky Are We print is available in two wide-format sizes:
- 20" x 8" — a compact wide print, ideal for smaller wall spaces, above a console table, or as part of a gallery wall
- 30" x 10" — our larger format, designed to make a statement as a standalone piece
Both sizes keep the same wide, horizontal proportions, which is part of what makes this print so versatile. It's not a standard portrait or landscape shape, so it suits spots that a typical square or rectangular print doesn't fill as naturally, like above a sofa, along a staircase wall, or over a headboard.
If you're deciding between the two, think about the wall itself rather than the room. A narrow hallway or a gap above a doorframe usually calls for the 20" x 8". A larger, more open wall, like above a doorway, a sofa or a bed, tends to suit the 30" x 10" better, especially if you want it to be the focal point rather than a supporting piece.
Is the How Lucky Are We print available framed?
Yes, but only in the 30" x 10" size. The 20" x 8" is currently available unframed only.
For the framed 30" x 10", we offer two frame finishes:
- Natural wood — a lighter, pale finish that works well in Scandi-style, coastal, or minimalist interiors
- Brown wood — a warmer, richer tone that suits more traditional or rustic spaces, and pairs naturally with oak or walnut furniture
If you're set on the smaller 20" x 8" size but want a framed finish, a standard off-the-shelf frame in a matching wide-format size is worth checking locally, though we'd always recommend our own framed 30" x 10" if a framed finish matters most to you, since it's made to fit the print exactly.
Where to hang/style a How Lucky Are We print
Because of its wide, horizontal shape, this print tends to work best in spots that a typical print can't quite fill. A few of our favourite placements:
In the hallway. Both the 30" or 20" works well either mounted above a console table or radiator cover or simple resting on it, styled with other decor items.
Above a doorway. The 30" x 10" framed version works really well above a standard door, it's worth measuring your own doors before ordering though to make sure.
Above the sofa. The 30" x 10" framed version is a natural fit here, sitting centred and roughly 6 to 8 inches above the sofa back.
Above the bed. In place of a traditional headboard piece, the wide format sits nicely centred above a double or king bed frame.
On a staircase wall. The horizontal shape follows the natural sightline as you walk up or down, making it a good alternative to a vertical gallery arrangement.
In a nursery or family room. A softer spot for the sentiment behind the print, particularly in the natural wood frame finish.
