Framing For Designers To Achieve Home Decoration

By Alice Bursnell


If you are looking for a way to decorate your home, consider using pictures to decorate empty walls in your house. Good photos or art will make your home look stylish and add more life and color to your environment. To increase the appeal of your wall art, consider using frames. Here are some tips on framing for designers.

Choose the type of frame to be used. This includes the use of metal, plastic or wooden frames. You can also consider using a mat or canvas to frame your picture. Your choice of frame will largely be determined by the type of picture that you want framed. If the picture is meant to be hung, ensure that the frame provides for this. Also check that the frame has something at the back to prop it up, if it is meant to be propped up on a surface.

There are multiple places where you can buy frames. It all depends on what you are looking for. You can request for a personalized order or you can choose from a wide selection of pre-designed frames. The good thing is that pre-designed frames come in all manner of sizes and shapes, so it is quite possible to find something that is quite suitable for you. If you are a skilled handyman, you can consider designing your own frame. You can buy the supplies that you need at a hardware store or at a store that sells framing supplies near you.

The frames you go for will be determined by the number of photos that you want to put up in the same place. If you are putting up multiple photos in the same room, it is best to use frames with the same design. The frames should complement the interior decor of the rest of the room. If you are only going to put up two or three photos, you can choose more exotic designs.

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.

Consider the size of the frame. This will be influenced by the size of the image. You can opt for large frames with a bottom heavy border for small photos or you can opt for a large frame with thin borders for large pieces of artwork.

Consider how easy it is to assemble the frame. Preferably, go for something that is easy to use, so as to make your framing task much easier. A complicated design can take up a lot of your time as you try to figure out how it works.

The quality and life span of your material matters. For high quality artwork, choose quality frames that will last over a long period of time. This may require that you invest a good amount of cash in buying the frame. For low cost photos and artwork, consider using standard frames that are economically friendly.
