Frame It Your Way!

As you browse through all of the art images available at www.artthatfits.com, remember that the framing you choose can help the art tie to your decor and personal style. The art shown here is from my “De La Mundo” series on the site. The original is a paper collage I made from papers I picked up, literally in the streets, in different countires. The giclee prints here at Artaissance can be produced on paper or canvas, and in sizes ranging from petite to oversize.

Your framing options will vary when you have art on paper versus canvas. For example, paper art is generally matted and art on canvas isn’t. Canvas can be ordered in larger sizes than paper so if you want a lot of impact directly from the art, canvas is a great choice. If you like the look of matting to serve as a break between the art and its surroundings, art on paper is a better option. Whichever you select, you generally have some flexibility to be either subtle or dramatic, light or dark and contemporary or traditional. Custom framing offers many wonderful alternatives to provide you with the perfect look for your home and lifestyle.

As you see in the six examples shown here, frames come in various widths and styles. Also, mat borders can be various widths but it’s important not to skimp. Narrow borders crowd the art and can cheapen the overall look. Generous mat borders provide breathing space, actually allowing you to enjoy the art more, without interference from everything around it.

Visit www.larsonjuhl.com to see a broad selection of frame mouldings. If you don’t currently have a local custom framer you have used for your framing needs, use the handy zip code referral to find one in your area. Rather than settling for preframed art off the shelf, get exactly what you want.
