Frame Store: Selecting Custom Frames

By Debra Edwards


The best way one can keep something so dear to them at heart is by placing it, on a holder. It will be safe and protected from any damage. People do this especially for pictures and artistic works that they do not want to lose. If you are looking for custom frames to keep this work, approach a reputable frame store around town. They should be strongly mounted on the wall to avoid breakage.

You should know the cost of the products that will be used. Do not bite more than you can chew and that is why one is advised to have a written down budget. That minimizes usage and ensures that every coin has been put into work. Get a rough idea of the total amount needed to but the materials so that you get a company that you are comfortable with.

With word of mouth, you can be sure that things will flow smoothly. People would never want to give you a source you cannot trust that is why they will always send you to someone easy to handle. Your money and time are at risk meaning you are taking a risk. As long as your source is someone you can trust, go share and let them work for you.

Make sure there is enough space to put the new holder. You cannot make it then store in the closet because there is no place to hang. Know if you want it to stand on a table or hang on a wall so that you can create space. Make the decision early so that you do not take too long. Removing the older hangings would not be such a bad idea.

Every person has a preference and one cannot ignore the personal preference design that they had in their head. There will be many ideas given to you by the dealer that you are working with therefore you should not let your eyes off the price. Know if you need a mat to separate the art from the holder and know the color that would work best.

Know the worth, and this can only be realized after the holding has been made. If every time you look at it, the first thing you see is whatever is being held inside then you choose the wrong type of holding. Its work is to compliment the picture or the piece of artwork inside not the other way round. The thing that should complement the picture although not a must are the curtains.

For your piece of work to look presentable the size of the holder matters. You cannot put a small creation in a big holder and expect to see balance. It should be proportional to whatever it is presenting. However in case you are unable to approximate the size you can seek an opinion from an expert for further guidance.

Work closely with your framer to give you direction. Make sure you choose a finishing that does not compete with the art or the holding as it overshadows them. There are no specific rules for making your holder, but there will be challenges that will come on the way. Look for a person who has been in business longer.
