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.

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.

If you intend to decorate a room with many photographs, opt to go for simple frames. On the other hand, if you will only have a few pieces of art, then you can buy more sophisticated frames. Consider the design of the rest of the room and ensure that your frames complement the interior decor of your home. You can have matching frames or you can have different types of frames, depending on what works best for you in your specific situation.

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.

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.
