Sometimes it’s preferable to float artwork on top of the mat to show the tattered edges, rather than mat over the artwork. However, the main purpose of the mat is to protect the artwork from the glass, so glass spacers are always recommended!

Have we ever shared before about how custom framing can work magic? It can! Take this image from House Beautiful Magazine – The designer started with three smaller antique prints… Because the scale was a bit off to hang them as is above the desk, they used an oversize matboard, in the same tone as the artwork to add scale to the pieces, and then custom framed from there! This is a fantastic way to magically make art larger, to fit within a specific space

When choosing frames, the primary goal should be to enhance the art. Although it is not necessary to match the framing to the room, it is smart to create a good sense of balance with the space. A narrow float frame around this large painting works well with the art, but also relates to the scale of the furnishings for a cohesive look. Notice the skinny table legs and the narrow arms on the sofa and chairs.

This grouping consists mainly black and white artwork. Notice how gold, silver and wood tone frames were used, in addition to black frames, to add interest. Mixing sizes, shapes, colors and styles of frames can bring more personality to your wall groupings.
