Purchasing framed art to many can even affect the decision theymake in purchasing the artwork itself. However art is fairlysimple to frame and is relatively inexpensive. Many of the artframes can be purchased to match your décor and/or other artworkadjacent. There are endless amounts of choices when it comes tofinding the right frame online or offline.
My personal preference is to purchase my artwork of choicewithout the frame if given a choice. As beautiful as thepainting might be, the artist and myself might have opposingtastes when it comes to framing. If you can find the artworkwith a frame you enjoy then that is a bonus. If you arepurchasing an unframed work directly from the artist it neverhurts to ask if they have a connection to get you a good pricedframe. Artists that sell a lot will not purchase frames at apremium price. They usually have a friend or a good businessconnection that deals with frames, so talk to him or her and seeif you can get you a discount. It never hurts to ask.
If you prefer to look for yourself then I'm sure you will agreethat there are several professional framers in your area. Aswith any service or profession some are good and some are not sogood. Shop around for the best service, best price, and look forvalue as you would for any other product or service.
If you know your frames you will not hesitate to purchase anugly painting as long as the frame is worth the asking price.This is more on the lines
of bargain hunting. So for most of uswe will not be buying a frame to resell it for a higher value,we are simply purchasing it to enjoy the painting.
Below are just a few tips to help you choose your frame.
Size - Making any sized frame "work" with a piece one mustultimately control the proportions with matting. A wide framerequires more matting than a narrow frame.
Style - by looking at your artwork you will see how thecoloring, theme and medium will most often direct you toward anappropriate selection of frames. Generally the frame should gowith the theme, medium and style of the artwork. If you arestill having a hard time with choosing your frame you can alsouse the décor of your room in which the piece will hang as yourguide.
Type - wood frames will look good on almost any piece of art. Weuse walnut, cherry, oak, ash, basswood, poplar, and pine - alldomestic woods - in our frames. Stained wood can be plain,carved, simple or ornate. And, many wood frames are available inlacquer finishes, faux finishes, and gold or sliver leaf. Metalframes, which work well with certain décor, or with modernpieces and posters is often a good choice
