They serve as accessories in the house that can personalise the space they occupy. Frames can help protect your art prints from the elements. More often than not, a lot of people buy the first frame they find. They don’t consider the environment in which the frame will be placed, or whether the frame complements the print.
There are also some instances in which people choose not to use any frame for their art prints. If you don’t have a budget for a good frame, then it might be an option. But you don’t need to spend a fortune on quality art framing services. You just need to do a little research to find the best deal on frames.
There are lots of frames on the market today, but only a handful will suit your requirements. Below are some of the tips you need to keep in mind when shopping for a frame for art prints or canvas.
Think About the Surroundings
When choosing a frame, you need to consider where the print will be displayed. The frame must work with the current design scheme of the room where it will be displayed. If you have a modern room, then don’t get a vintage frame for your art prints. The frame can also be used place the artwork in the spotlight. Don’t get frames that have the same colour as the walls.
Print Size
Another factor to consider is the size of the art prints. An art framing specialist has frames in various sizes. You should avoid buying prints that will require custom sized frames. That way you can get a frame in common sizes. When you are unsure about the common sizes, it is best to contact the art framing provider. Frames in common sizes are often cheaper compared to bespoke frames.
Depth of the Frame
Depth of the frame is as important as its length and width. The four pieces of the frame are known as rabbits. If the width of the print is 1 inch, then the depth of the rabbit must be at least an inch so that the framed artwork hangs flushed against the wall.
When to Use Glass
When you are going to frame canvas prints, you should not get one with glass. The texture of the canvas is what makes the print come to life. Placing glass on top of a canvas print will take away the effect and make it difficult to tell whether it is canvas or not. But for art prints, it is recommended to use glass to protect the inks of the print.
