A print is the closest thing to keeping that feeling. But aurora photos are strange on a wall: some of them glow, some of them just look dark, and the difference is mostly about the photo you pick and the size you print it at.<\/p>\n<p>Joona has photographed the Northern Lights around Rovaniemi and Kittil\u00e4 for years, and a selection of those nights are available as prints via Printler. This is our honest guide to choosing one \u2014 including the ones we&#8217;d steer you away from for a particular room.<\/p>\n<div class=\"htf-tldr\">\n<div class=\"htf-tldr-label\">Short answer<\/div>\n<p>Choose an aurora photo with a foreground (a lake, trees, a hut) rather than sky alone \u2014 it reads as a place, not a screensaver. Go 50\u00d770 cm for a sofa wall, 70\u00d7100 if the wall is bare, 30\u00d740 for a bedroom or desk. Pick a framed fine-art print if it&#8217;s the main piece in the room; a poster if you already own frames.

First, most of the frame is night sky, and printed night sky is a lot of dark ink. Second, the green is what people remember, but it&#8217;s rarely more than a third of the picture. A photo that looked spectacular on a phone at full brightness can turn into a dark rectangle at 50\u00d770 cm.<\/p>\n<p>What fixes it is contrast and a foreground. A lake reflecting the lights doubles the colour. Snow lifts the bottom of the frame. A lit hut or teepee gives the eye somewhere warm to land. That&#8217;s why the aurora prints that sell \u2014 ours and everyone else&#8217;s \u2014 almost always have something other than sky in them.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:28px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/printler.com\/en\/poster\/202621\/?aid=artist_10765&#038;utm_source=hungrytravelfamily&#038;utm_medium=website&#038;utm_campaign=prints&#038;utm_content=post-fig-202621\" data-htf-placement=\"post-figure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/autumn-northern-lights-print-202621.jpg\" alt=\"Autumn Northern Lights \u2014 art print by Joona Heinonen\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;display:block\"><\/a><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#5b6b62;margin-top:10px;line-height:1.5\"><strong style=\"color:#2D5A3D\">Autumn Northern Lights<\/strong> \u2014 The reflection doubles the aurora and the twilight band keeps the frame from going black.

Here is the rule we use at home: measure the width of the furniture under the print, and aim for a print that&#8217;s roughly two-thirds of that width. A 180 cm sofa wants a 70\u00d7100 (landscape) or a 50\u00d770 with generous framing. A 120 cm desk takes a 30\u00d740 comfortably. Go bigger than feels safe \u2014 an aurora print that&#8217;s too small reads as a postcard, and the whole point is the sky.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unsure, 50\u00d770 is the size most of our aurora prints have sold in, and it fits a standard frame you can buy anywhere in Europe.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"s4\">Poster, canvas or framed fine art<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Premium poster.<\/strong> 250 gsm pigment print. The cheapest option \u2014 from about \u20ac25 for the smallest size \u2014 and the right one if you have frames already or want to change prints seasonally. Dark skies print well on it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Framed fine-art print.<\/strong> Hahnem\u00fchle paper in a wooden frame (black, white, oak or walnut). This is what we&#8217;d choose for the one print that&#8217;s the centre of a room. The paper has a soft, matte depth that makes night skies look like night rather than like ink, and it arrives ready to hang.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Canvas.<\/strong> Matte canvas on a wooden stretcher. It&#8217;s the most forgiving for a wildlife or landscape photo, but for the aurora we&#8217;d skip it \u2014 the texture eats the fine detail in the stars and the reflection.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:28px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/printler.com\/en\/poster\/219225\/?aid=artist_10765&#038;utm_source=hungrytravelfamily&#038;utm_medium=website&#038;utm_campaign=prints&#038;utm_content=post-fig-219225\" data-htf-placement=\"post-figure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/northern-lights-teepee-print-219225.jpg\" alt=\"Northern Lights Teepee \u2014 art print by Joona Heinonen\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;display:block\"><\/a><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#5b6b62;margin-top:10px;line-height:1.5\"><strong style=\"color:#2D5A3D\">Northern Lights Teepee<\/strong> \u2014 The teepee print in portrait format \u2014 one of the two we would put in a hallway or stairwell. <a href=\"https:\/\/printler.com\/en\/poster\/219225\/?aid=artist_10765&#038;utm_source=hungrytravelfamily&#038;utm_medium=website&#038;utm_campaign=prints&#038;utm_content=post-219225\" data-htf-placement=\"post-link\" style=\"color:#2D5A3D;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#C8A45A;text-underline-offset:3px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See sizes &amp; frames \u2192<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 id=\"s5\">Frames and passepartout<\/h2>\n<p>Black frames make the aurora pop and suit modern rooms; oak softens it and suits Nordic and wooden interiors; white works if the wall is dark. A passepartout (the white mount inside the frame) adds breathing space and is worth it for the 30\u00d740 and 50\u00d770 sizes \u2014 it makes a mid-size print feel like a gallery piece. For 70\u00d7100 we&#8217;d go without; the image is big enough.<\/p>\n<p>One honest note: Printler&#8217;s coloured frames (blue, red, yellow) are lovely for illustrations and children&#8217;s rooms and mostly wrong for an aurora. Stick to wood or black.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"s6\">Where the light comes from<\/h2>\n<p>Dark prints need light on them. Hang an aurora print where a lamp or window lights it from the side, not opposite a window (glass reflections turn a night sky into a mirror). Warm bulbs (2700K) flatter the green; a cool-white LED can make it look grey. If you&#8217;re framing behind glass in a bright room, ask Printler for the fine-art option \u2014 the matte paper handles reflections far better than a glossy poster.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"s7\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Are these real Northern Lights photos?<\/strong><br>Yes \u2014 all photographed by Joona in Finnish Lapland, around Rovaniemi and Kittil\u00e4, and edited lightly in Lightroom. No composites, no AI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much does a Northern Lights print cost?<\/strong><br>Posters start at around \u20ac25 for 21\u00d730 cm and rise with size; framed fine-art prints in the large sizes are a good deal more. Printler runs discount campaigns a few times a year, especially in November and December, and the reduced price shows automatically at checkout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will the green look the same as on my screen?<\/strong><br>Slightly softer \u2014 screens are backlit, paper isn&#8217;t. That&#8217;s exactly why we suggest a foreground and side lighting; the prints on this page were chosen because they hold up on paper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I get a print delivered to the US or UK?<\/strong><br>Yes. Printler ships across the EU, the Nordics, the UK and the US, with free returns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is a Northern Lights print a good gift?<\/strong><br>It&#8217;s one of the best for anyone who has been to Lapland or is about to go. Pair a 30\u00d740 with a booked aurora tour \u2014 our <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/finland\/christmas-gift-ideas-book-a-lapland-experience-instead-of-stuff\/\">Lapland gift ideas<\/a> post has the pairing we&#8217;d give.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if it arrives and it isn&#8217;t right?<\/strong><br>Printler offers free returns.
