When art is being framed to be displayed on a wall without furniture below it, generously proportioned mat borders, with a bottom-weighted border or elongated top and bottom borders will help the art fill the volume of wall space.

Happy Earth Day, friends! Did you know that one of  FastFrame of LoDo’s most popular frame lines is made from recycled materials? We also carry a special line of frames where if purchased, the manufacturer plants a tree! We also make it a point to recycle all unused scrap materials, and we donate what can be used to local school art programs! It’s our small way of making sure our environmental impact is minimal!

Take a close look and you will see the photos in this grouping are all different sizes. Yet, by varying the mat border widths, the frames end up being only two different sizes. This lends the grouping a very tidy, organized look.

Free form wall groupings, like this one, give a room a lot of character. It also provides a great way to give the impression of filling more wall space than you would hanging the same pieces in a more traditional way.
