'The Blue Stadium' print is designed to bring a touch of classic British art into your home or office. Its Giclée printing ensures that the unique style, vibrant 'sky blue' tones, and intricate details inspired by L.S. Lowry are rendered with exceptional clarity and depth.
Displaying Your Print: If you've chosen the unframed print, you have the flexibility to select a frame that perfectly matches your existing decor. The 21cm x 21cm size is a popular format, allowing for a standard square frame or a larger frame with a custom mount.

Placement Suggestions:
Living Room: Place on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or hang as part of a gallery wall. Its blue tones can complement neutral or cool-colored decors.
Home Office/Study: Add a cultured touch to your workspace, providing a calming and inspiring visual.
Bedroom: A subtle yet impactful piece above a bedside table or on a dresser.
Hallway/Entryway: Create an inviting first impression with a unique piece of art.
The Archival Matt finish not only enhances the visual texture of the print but also protects against glare, making it enjoyable from various angles. The durability of the materials means you can expect the vivid colors and fine details to remain a focal point for many years without significant fading, provided it's kept out of direct, prolonged sunlight.
Unframed Print:
Carefully unroll the print if it arrived in a tube, allowing it to flatten naturally for a few hours.
Choose a frame with an opening of at least 21cm x 21cm. A mount can enhance the presentation.
Insert the print into your chosen frame, ensuring it is centered and secure.
Hang your framed artwork using appropriate wall fixings for your wall type, or display on a stand.
Framed Print:
Carefully unbox your framed print. Ensure all packaging materials are removed.
For Freestanding Display: Place the framed print on a stable, flat surface such as a shelf, desk, or mantelpiece.
For Wall-Mounted Display: Identify a suitable location on your wall. Use appropriate picture hanging hardware (not included) for your wall type. The frame is designed to be lightweight due to the perspex screen, but secure mounting is always recommended. Use a spirit level to ensure it hangs perfectly straight.
Print Size: The 21cm x 21cm (8.27 inches x 8.27 inches) unframed print is compatible with standard square frames of that size or larger frames using a custom mat.
Framed Option: The included 12" square black ash frame with a 10" square mount is a complete display solution, compatible with most home and office decor styles.
Cleaning the Print (Unframed): Avoid touching the printed surface directly. If dusting is needed, use a very soft, dry, lint-free cloth or a clean, soft brush specifically designed for art.
Cleaning the Framed Print:
Frame: Wipe the black ash frame gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
Perspex Screen: Use a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth and a cleaner specifically designed for acrylic or plastic (or a very mild solution of soap and water). Avoid ammonia-based cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can scratch or damage the perspex.
Placement: To ensure longevity and prevent fading, avoid hanging the print in direct sunlight or in areas with high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations.
Handling: Always handle the print and frame by the edges to avoid fingerprints or damage to the surface.
