How Framing Can Change Everything
“My art cost less than that!” – A phrase that’s all too familiar for picture framers. So why would anyone pay more for framing than the artwork it’s going on?
Protection
The most sturdy paper in the world won’t stand up to your kid creating his own Picasso on your art. Sometimes framed pictures jump off the wall, wire hangers snap, people bump things, etc… If the picture is framed it has a better chance of surviving accidents. If your art is precious and can’t be replaced, that frame protecting your piece is priceless. Glass can protect your art from UV light as well. This can help keep your art from fading. Prints, ink, and watercolor can be especially vulnerable to UV light.
Today, quality, acid-free materials have replaced acid mats, cardboard and tape that crumbles over time. When your framing materials last longer, your art lasts longer. It can save money on framing overtime.
Beauty
Ever hung up a piece of art only to find it looks more like a bland soggy napkin than a masterpiece? We’ve all been there. You spend hours picking out the perfect print, but once it’s on the wall, it just… sits there, sad and unappreciated. Enter: Custom framing. It’s like giving your artwork a makeover on one of those reality TV shows, but without the dramatic music and awkward crying.
Tailored to Perfection
Custom frames are the tailored suits of the art world. Imagine James Bond walking into a room in sweatpants – not quite the same impact, right? A well-chosen frame can highlight the colors, textures, and overall vibe of your piece. It’s like adding the perfect accessories to your outfit: suddenly, everything pops.
The Illusion of Grandeur
Ever notice how framed art in galleries always looks way more impressive? That’s because the frame can make even the simplest sketch look like it belongs in the Louvre. With custom framing, you can create the illusion that you’re a fancy art collector, even if the piece in question is a doodle from your second cousin’s toddler.
Complements Your Space
A custom frame can tie a room together faster than you can say “feng shui.” Whether your decor is modern chic or grandma’s-attic eclectic, there’s a frame out there that’ll match perfectly. It’s like finding that one item in your wardrobe that goes with everything – pure magic.
It’s a Statement
Let’s be real: a custom frame can be a flex. It says, “I care about art, and I have impeccable taste.” Your guests will be in awe, and you’ll get to play the role of the sophisticated art aficionado, sipping wine and discussing brushstrokes.
In conclusion, custom framing is the secret sauce that can turn any piece of art from drab to fab. So go ahead, give your artwork the VIP treatment it deserves. Your walls will thank you, and you’ll have something new to brag about at your next dinner party.
