At Easyframe, there isn't much we haven't framed when it comes to off the shelf frames, personalised frames and everything in-between.
We are extremely proud of the service we provide to our customers, and we do our best to create frames that you, your friends and your family are going to enjoy viewing. But as experienced as we are at what we do, there are some things that only you know.
Here are 3 important questions that you need to ask yourself before you embark on your picture framing journey. Give these questions a good amount of thought and you'll be making the right choice with confidence every time.
Think about the likelihood that your chosen artwork is going to be viewed by other people. If you are thinking about hanging it somewhere such as your home office, where only you spend time in, then the chances are, you don't need to worry too much about what others think about the frame.
However, if you are wanting to hang it in a more public area such as your hallway or living room, then you will need to make sure that everyone agrees on it. If opinions are divided, you are better off waiting until you can reach a compromise where everyone agrees on the chosen frame.
Perhaps the issue lies with the style of the particular frame with everybody wanting something different. If this is the case, consider something modern such as a wide, flat wooden frame. If you can find a happy medium, then the chances are that the artwork will be the focus of attention, rather than the frame being something that everyone in the family argues about.
One issue we see quite often is that people often choose a frame that compliments the artwork but doesn't necessarily go with the decor of their chosen room. If you are planning on having the room that your chosen artwork is going to be hanging in redecorated, then put the framing on the backburner until the room is complete. The last thing you would want is for the change of style of the room to be too much of a contrast between the style of the frame.
Perhaps you need a short-term solution for your artwork frame, we can frame your artwork in simple frames for now, and then you can upgrade to new frames in the near future. This way, you won't waste too much money and can ensure the simple frames don't go to waste by using them again for another project.
With everyone having their own thoughts and opinions it's easy to get swept away with trends and defaulting back to open, featureless rooms that lack imagination as default.
We get it, art is subjective and what you may like, others may hate, however at the end of the day, it's your home and it should be your decision to select a frame that makes you feel good and pick something that emphasises your character. And what's the best way to do this? Listen to your own mind and what makes it tick. Lots of people secretly want to make a real feature out of their paintings, so don't be shy about using colour just the way you want it.
Have a go and let us know how you get on! As always, we are happy to help you so don't hesitate to pick up the phone or send us a message on Facebook or Instagram. Happy framing!
