Framing Focus
The Benefits
of Bigger Frames
Do you have a small print or painting that
seems to get lost on a large wall in your
home or office? It doesn't have to. We can
create a design using wider mats and
frames that will increase the size of your
finished piece without drawing attention
away from what matters most--your artwork.
The result will be to make your smaller
prints and pictures the center of attention.
Smaller prints and photos tend to be easily
overwhelmed by framing designs. That
doesn't mean they are any less important,
and by increasing the size of the framing
they can achieve the right amount of visual impact.
For instance, adding a wider mat with something as simple
as having a decorative element painted directly onto the
mat can effectively increase the size of your pictures while adding a touch of
elegance. It draws attention to the subject matter without overwhelming it.
Inlays are another good option to add size and impact to a framed piece. Inlays
and matboard are cut to fit together on the same plane, letting you add a
significant amount of color and pattern without adding layers. Inlays can also add
texture and color to extend the feeling of your picture and frame. Sometimes small
details, such as decorative corners, can compete with the artwork. This effect
can be avoided by adding a wide inner mat to insulate the print. A wide mat
prevents the corners from becoming the focus of the finished piece while adding
special touch to overall look. Don't let your artwork get lost. We can work with you
to decide what design elements work best for your artwork and to show you how
bigger mats can add more impact to their presentation.
