High Ceilings?

Not everyone has high ceilings like this. Take advantage by grouping framed art high up the wall. The vertical mirror helps, too.

Using a gilded frame

Using a gilded frame on your black and white art is a great way to add perceived value. This is great whether your art is inexpensive and it can use the help, and even better if it is valuable and you don't want to bring down the look.

Kitchen and framed art, why not?

Kitchens can be decorated with framed art, just like any other room of the house. Be cautious not to place anything of value in areas where it can be splattered or where it will be bothered by excess steam. It's a good idea to cover everything in the kitchen with glass or acrylic.

Tim Campbell Folk Art here @ Frame By Frame

I have always loved Folk Art and I am happy to say that I carry New Hampshire's own Tim Campbell's amazing artwork tim campbell art. I have some of Tim's original paintings, some designed just for me for Colorado and the Wild West. I have postcards, and prints, framed and unframed signed by Tim. Here are a couple of original pieces of Americana pieces done by Tim.

Perfectly Uniform

This grouping could have been a perfectly uniform grid of nine, but a little bit of creativity makes it so much more dynamic.

Asymmetrical Grouping

It's OK to break the rules. This asymmetrical grouping uses the chair as one of the pieces of art. In this case nothing was meant to go together, but by carefully balanci
ng the sizes and colors, it all works.

Textures and Patterns

Textures and patterns are very popular. You can create a look similar to this if you find the perfect set of art, some fabric, or interesting papers. Simple custom framing will unify them and make them ready to hang.

Trend Alert!

TREND ALERT: A return to the Industrial Revolution, the Industrial trend continues to hold strong in home furnishings. We are seeing a lot of reclaimed/distressed metal, especially mixed with reclaimed/natural wood when travelling to various Home Furnishing Markets.  Axel & Anvil Moulding collections are here to respond to that. Have you been framing in this style to reflect the Industrial trend?  Come see me!
