The Difference a Professionally Designed Custom Frame Makes

Does a Frame Make a Difference?

YES!!! Most artwork benefits from having a frame

The frame-less look is popular, but is it appropriate for what you need? Does it protect your art or enhance your image? Take a look at the examples below to see what a difference a frame makes.

“Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.”

– GK Chesterton

Example #1

This beach scene is shown with three different frame styles: unframed, simply framed, and double framed. Which one draws your eye the most?

  1. Unframed Art – Wrapped canvas or print hung directly on the wall. Simple, plain, unprotected.
  2. Simple Frame – Art framed with a simple frame that matches the neutral colors of the image will expand the view. A frame will add stability to the wood frame the canvas is stretched on or protect the raw edges of a photo mount.
  3. Double Frame – A second stacked frame adds interest. Visualize it on your wall. Because of the contrast, your art immediately becomes a focal point. It looks like you are stepping into the picture.
  4. Unframed Art
  5. Simple Frame – Add a simple silver frame that blends into the building.
  6. Double Frame – Add a fillet (the black piece surrounding the art). Notice how it gives it depth to the image and highlights the black in the windows?

Example #2

This cityscape is also shown with three different frame styles: unframed, simply framed, and double framed. Which one has the most impact?

What Is A Fillet?

A fillet is a small piece of moulding that fits inside a frame. It is decorative, designed to enhance, like jewelry. Ask us how a fillet would enhance your art.
