Framing For Designers And Essential Tips That You Can Use

By Alice Bursnell


One of the best and easiest ways to increase the appeal of a home is to add a bit of color and life to it. You can achieve this by putting up photos and artwork in different rooms. If you have a professional interior designer working on your home decor, here are some framing for designers tips that you can refer to so as to ensure that they do a good job.

There are all sorts of frames available in the market. One of your major tasks will be narrowing down your options and choosing a frame that is appropriate for your particular situation. You can go for plastic, wooden or metallic frames. You can also opt to use fabric frames. When choosing a frame, always check to ensure that it comes with something that can be used to hang it up on the wall or something that can be used to prop it up on a desk or other surface.

You can get frames at different places. Some retailers can create custom frames for you if you give them the dimensions and other specifications that you want. You also have the option of buying supplies and designing your own frame, if you are a handy man. You can also check out retailers that stock a wide variety of frames and choose what will work for you. Online stores are also a good option to explore.

The type of frame you choose will be influenced by the number of pictures that you want to put up. If you are planning on putting up multiple photos on the same wall, it is advisable to opt for simple frames with a similar design. However, if you will only be putting up a couple of photos, then you can go for more sophisticated designs. The designs do not have to match. Whatever type of frame you opt for, just ensure that it complements the rest of the decor in the room.

The color of the frame is an essential consideration. The color that you choose should complement the color of the artwork that is being framed. You can opt for a color that matches the colors used on the image, or a frame color that sharply contrasts that of the image.

The size of the frame matters. If you want to make a bold statement, choose a big frame with wide borders for small artwork. You can also constrain a large piece of artwork by using a frame with thin borders.

Frames that are easy to put together are easier to use. Therefore, always look for simplicity of use when selecting a frame. The easier a frame is to assemble, the less time it will take for you to insert your picture and put it together again.

If you are planning on using a particular image for a long time, opt for a high quality frame. This will most likely be expensive. On the other hand, if you are framing an ordinary unsigned artwork, a standard frame will just work fine.
