Framing Guide

 Welcome to my Framing Guide! Proper framing enhances the beauty of your artwork, ensuring it stands out and complements your living space. Plus, it adds a good protection to the piece while hanging on the wall, to ensure its permanence over time. Follow these guidelines to make the most of your cherished work of art.

1. Selecting the Right Frame

- Choose a frame that complements the style and aesthetics of your artwork.

- Consider the color scheme and style of the room where the piece will be displayed.

- Classic wooden frames often work well, but metal or acrylic frames can provide a modern touch.

2. Matting Options

- Mats add depth and visual interest to the artwork.

- Opt for a mat color that contrasts with the colors in the piece to make it pop or choose an analogous color which will add the sense of harmony and familiarity.

- Experiment with single or double matting for a more sophisticated look.

3. Frame Size

- Ensure the frame size complements the dimensions of your artwork.

- Leave enough space around the artwork to create a balanced visual impact.

4. Consideration for Hanging

- Decide on the placement of your piece—eye level is usually ideal.

- Use appropriate hanging hardware for the weight of the framed artwork.

- Ensure the artwork is secure and level once hung.

5. Protective Measures for Works on Paper

- Use UV-protective glass to prevent fading and protect against environmental factors.

- Regularly clean the glass to maintain the clarity of your artwork.

- Utilize an appropriate mat ensuring the artwork's surface does not come into contact with the glass.

6. Customization Options

- Explore custom frame options for a unique touch.

- Some frames offer additional features like fillets or ornate details.

7. Consistency in Framing

- If you plan to display multiple artworks, consider consistent framing for a cohesive look.

- This creates a unified gallery aesthetic, enhancing the overall visual impact.

8. Preservation Techniques

- Keep your framed piece away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity.

- Regularly inspect the frame for any signs of wear or damage. 

- Should any issues with conservation arise, do not hesitate to reach out to a qualified conservator.

 Remember, the right frame enhances the emotional impact of your artwork, turning it into a timeless piece of art. In addition, it offers protection to the work against shocks, scratches, falls, environmental factors and when handling the piece. Experiment with different options to find the perfect framing solution that brings out the best in your masterpiece!
