Framed Wall
Art Decor - The
Ultimate
Finishing Touch for your Walls
Framed wall art decor has been the tried and true decorating choice for walls for centuries and is unlikely to ever go out of style anytime soon.
If you want to put a finishing touch on your art and set off the artpiece to its best viewing advantage, then framing is your perfect solution.
From an interior design point of view the frame you select for your art is nearly as important as the art itself. The style, color and the materials of the frame have a huge impact on the look and feel of the artpiece as well as having the ability to complement and enhance the colors and style of your living space.
Take a look at this artpiece. See how the frame ties in with the mood and colors of the art.
If you wanted to give more pop to this framed wall art decor piece then a darker contrasting frame would also work very well depending on your decor and the mood you wish to convey.
Do you already own a valuable piece of art that you absolutely love but wished looked a bit more up-to-date? No problem! You can easily spruce up an existing artpiece just by changing the frame and matting for a new more modern and dramatic look and to also complement your interior space and design.
Balance, proportion,color and style are very important and are basic principles for good framing design. There are plenty of "do it yourself" shops out there but you might also consider hiring a professional who can give you the benefit of their experience and expertise.
The selection of frames and mouldings can be overwhelming because your choices are endless, but they are the most visible element in framed wall art and have a great impact on your overall wall art design.

Framing Your Collections:
Art framing is the best way to showcase your memories and personal achievements and creates a unique piece of framed wall art decor that you'll have fun bragging about to your friends and family.
Custom framing designers are very adept when it comes to creating art from the simplest objects that you love and wish to preserve by creating wonderful collages that you will enjoy for years to come.

If you wanted to make a collage of your own to commemorate a special achievement then a framing professional can help you design a special artpiece just for you or you can do it yourself.
Matting:
Not all art requires a mat, especially a gallery wrapped giclee on canvas but matting plays an important role in properly presenting a framed image. It can highlight, contrast or complement colors in the art as seen in this lovely framed wall art landscape.
It can increase the size of a small image giving it more
impact and
drama and it can complement and tie in with the colors and
other elements in the room.
Double matting is when two or more mats of contrasting colors are layered one on top of another to add dimension and design to the framed wall art. This is a great technique as long as the mat does not overwhelm the image.
In this colorful lilypad framed wall art decor piece the double matting is very tastefully done. It complements the image and the frame perfectly.
As you can see matting definitely adds style and a designers touch especially to the look and feel of framed wall art.
Glass:
Non-glare glass eliminates the harsh reflection of light, but can take away from the color intensity of the art. Standard glass allows you to view the art with all its crispness and color but it reflects light and can make the art difficult to see from certain angles.
Both standard and non-glare glass can be found with UV options to protect and preserve your framed wall art.
Your goal is to create framed wall art so that it makes a statement and enhances the space where it is going to be hung. Keep the design simple, utilizing quality frame styles and only the mats necessary to create depth and a distinctive piece of fine wall art for your home or office.
