Framing For Designers To Achieve Home Decoration

By Alice Bursnell


There are various ways you can decorate your home to make it feel more homely and welcoming to your family and friends. One of the best ways to do this is to use photos and artwork. You can choose to use photos of your family members and friends or artwork from good artists. Whichever option you go for, the type of frame that you choose to mount your photos in is of paramount importance. Here are some framing for designers strategies that you can use.

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.

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 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.

Go for frames that are easy to use. This will save you a lot of time and a lot of hassle. The easier it is to use a frame, the less stress free it will be for you. Ordinarily, find a frame that you can just open, insert the image and close.

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.
