Choose the Right Moulding
The right frame moulding should enhance a work of fine art without overwhelming it. Factors like the setting where the piece will be displayed, whether it needs to work with other art or objects that are already in that setting, and the style of the artwork can also influence which frame moulding you select. You should consider the colours, textures and styles of other framed works and objects that are already in the room as well as the style or period of the art. We can provide consultations to help you choose from our thousands of options to find the perfect frame moulding to complement your artwork.
Select the Right Mountboard
Mountboards, also known as mats or matting, can be used above or beneath works on paper, alone or in multiples, to help focus the eye or highlight colours within the art. The size, style, and colours of your artwork can all influence your choice of the perfect matting or mat combination. Small pieces of moulding called inner frames can be used inside the main frame, underneath or between mats to help accent the art as well.
Typically, the larger the item being framed, the wider the matting, but the size of the border comes down to personal preference and the look you are trying to achieve. We have a wide selection of framing materials, to bring your vision to life and preserve your valuable art.
