Mix Colors
Don't be afraid to mix colors and styles in a wall grouping. Here, the sharp black and whites blend with the wall and woodwork colors, while the earth tone frames and mats coordinate with other accessories in the vignette.

Custom Framing Tips
We like to remember life's special moments, don't we? So getting something framed shouldn't be so complicated, right? For many, choosing between a metal frame or a gold leaf frame sounds like another language. Things you... should know before setting foot in a custom frame shop.
Tip #1: Framing is more expensive than you think. Even if you just paid $5 for that small watercolor you bought while backpacking through Europe a few years ago, it may cost more than $100 to frame. The cost of a frame is a per-foot rate, ranging from under $3 to more than $50 a foot depending on the materials used to make the frame. Even the glass can be pricey. One way to justify the hit to your bank account is to realize that this may be the only time you ever frame the piece if it's framed well, "You're not going to frame it again perhaps in your lifetime."

Popular Groupings
This photo shows two ideas we've shared before. First, the popular look of grouping framed art with no space between each piece. Second, maintain a common line throughout the grouping (in this case the top row is separated from the bottom row by a straight line) to prevent the arrangement from looking busy or chaotic.

Embroidered Fabric Panels
These two embroidered fabric panels were mounted to rigid backings and then laid onto plain fabric panels, serving as mat borders. Notice how the "mats" are elongated, to give a look like the traditional Asian scrolls. You can adapt this design idea to suit your personal style buy framing yards of any decorative, patterned fabric.
