Our Art Frames
Choosing the right frame for artwork is essential to both preserving it and enhancing its visual impact.
Art frames commonly come in sizes such as A1, A2, A3, and A4. However, selecting the correct frame involves more than just matching the size—considering the colour, style, and finish of both your artwork and the frame itself is key to creating a cohesive and compelling display.
Key Considerations for Choosing Your Frame
When selecting a frame, keep the following aspects in mind:
Size: While standard frame sizes like A1, A2, A3, and A4 are widely available, not all artwork fits these dimensions perfectly, search by size to see if any of our other sizes meet the needs of the artwork; if not a frame mount can be an excellent solution. By adding a mount, you can use a standard frame size and adjust the mount opening to suit the artwork, giving it a polished, professional appearance. Alternatively, we offer custom framing to fit unusual sizes, use our Custom Frame Builder for the perfect fit.
Colour: The frame's colour should complement the tones within the artwork. Neutral colours such as black, white, or grey are versatile and blend well with most pieces. If your artwork is vibrant or thematic, consider a frame in a bolder colour that enhances the overall look. Soft landscapes and seascapes work well with neutral tones or metallics.
Style: Match the frame style with the artwork's character. Modern pieces benefit from sleek, minimalistic frames, while traditional or classical artworks may call for more ornate frames.
Finish: The frame's finish can also influence the overall effect. The appearance should reflect the style of the artwork whether it be a matt, burnished, a sheen or distressed finish.
The Impact of Frame Mounts
Frame mounts are an effective way to add depth and focus to your artwork, you can choose from two different depths, select double mounts and consider a suitable colour from our extensive range. They allow you to use standard Ready Made frames by customising the mount opening to fit the piece of artwork. Mounts enhance the visual impact of the artwork, you can choose different border sizes around the artwork to give an image prominence and they add protection to your work as they are conservation quality.
