Design Tip 101

Notice how the white horse stands out from the dark mat border and the black background stands out when the same picture is surrounded with a light mat. The horse is the focal point so a dark mat is a great choice for it.

Black interior,  accented with leaves and vines.  The back is painted solid black. Would look wonderful  on counter top, tabletop or or wall.

Family Space

Give your family some space. Don't crowd your family photo 

into a small frame. A mat provides breathing space so the 

photo becomes a stronger focal point on the wall.

Reflect the Unique Qualities

These three works of original art are all the same size, painted by the same artist, all in an abstract style. Even so, each piece is framed completely different to reflect its unique qualities.

When you travel

When you travel internationally, bring home a foreign newspaper and turn it into a one-of-a-kind piece of custom framed art.

Put old stuffed animal in a frame.

Different strokes for different folks

When framing the same picture to give to different people, keep in mind their unique personalities and sense of style. Here the same photo has been framed two ways to appeal to two people.

Art in the bedroom

Every family member needs some art in their bedroom...even the pets! How cute is this idea?! 

Texture

Notice how the texture on this frame mimics the linear patterns in the background of the art. With all of the various patterns and textures in art and frames, you can often create a custom look like this.

Close Up

Close up photos of your favorite things can become "art" for 

the wall when printed and custom framed.

Did you know?

Did you know that the modern picture frame was invented by a monk in the fifth century? He developed it to reduce the chances of “unblessed” human hands making direct contact with religious painting.

Frame Worthy!

Here's your dose of cute for the day! The mother of this cutie chose to announce the birth of her son in a unique way...by creating a "Blackboard Adventures" series. Talk about frame-worthy!

Family Photos

A long hallway wall is a great place to display family photos. 

The all white frame designs keep the narrow space from

feeling closed in.

Gold?

Over the fireplace

There was a time when most people chose a single large painting or mirror to hang over the fireplace. These days pretty much anything goes.

Laying out your framed art groupings

When you lay out your framed art groupings, you can consider objects like the lamps shown here as parts of the arrangement, or you can ignore them and allow the art to hang behind them
