How to Decide if You Should Custom Frame Your Art
Deciding whether or not you should custom frame your art is often determined by a number of factors, such as price and how much protection the art piece needs. If the artwork is delicate or worth a great deal to you – whether in monetary or sentimental value – then custom picture framing should be a consideration. It is also a great way to elevate an art piece to be a focal point, especially when it will be part of a gallery wall.
Personalized Style Options
Choosing a custom frame for your art is a quick and easy way to update an art piece. Whether the pre-existing frame just looks tired or doesn’t work with the rest of your space, custom framing will allow you to personalize artwork to suit your tastes and the space it will be situated in.
Choose the Right Frame
When it comes to choosing a frame, custom framing can be a wise investment if your artwork is original or expensive. Artwork is often prone to fading or sun damage, so it is a good idea to consider UV protection glass to stop this from happening. If you have precious pictures, especially if they are in danger of fading, be sure to discuss UV protection glass with the framer.
Protect Your Art
Will your artwork be placed in a dark, cocooning space or a bright, airy room that is filled with sunlight? If your piece will be in direct light, you will need that extra layer of UV protection glass to ensure it does not fade. You should also consider investing in some non-glare, museum-quality glass if your piece will be in a naturally bright room so you and your guests can fully appreciate it.
