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.

Consider the color of the frame. You can use a color wheel to choose a color that complements the color of the image. If you want to emphasize something specific on the image, find a frame in the color that matches the element that you want to highlight. If you are not sure which color to go for, choose either a black or mid tone wood, as this will go well with most artwork.

The size of the artwork will determine the size of the frame. You can use borders to emphasize or de-emphasize the image. Big frames with large borders help to emphasize a small image. Large artwork placed in large frames with thin borders can also work.

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.
