Choosing the Right Frame

  1. Match the Artwork:

  • Style: Ensure the frame complements the style of the artwork. A modern painting might look best in a sleek, minimalist frame, while a traditional piece may require a more ornate design.

  • Color: Select a frame color that enhances the artwork without overpowering it. Neutral colors like black, white, or natural wood are versatile choices.

  • Material: Consider materials such as wood, metal, or acrylic. Each offers a different look and feel, so choose one that aligns with the artwork and your decor.

  1. Consider the Mat:

  • Purpose: A mat can provide a visual buffer between the artwork and the frame, adding depth and focus.

  • Color and Size: Opt for a mat color that complements the artwork. The size of the mat should be proportional to the artwork and frame.

  1. Protective Glazing:

  • Glass vs. Acrylic: Glass is more scratch-resistant, but acrylic is lighter and less prone to shattering.

  • UV Protection: Choose glazing with UV protection to prevent fading and damage from sunlight.
