Hints on picture framing

• A picture frame does not only protect the work and provide a favorable environment for the art it surrounds, it also enhances and compliments its aesthetic impact.
• When picking a frame it is important to treat the picture as the key, the frame and mount are only there to act as a gateway to your enjoyment of the piece.
• It is helpful to stay away from frames that will overpower the work or distract from its qualities.
• A rule of thumb is to avoid picking a frame that matches your interior decor, instead concentrate on picture frames that enhance the work, this way the framed picture will always look apt in whatever setting you choose.
• The picture and its frame become an integral whole so it is important that you choose a frame that you will be happy with.
• Never hang framed art in direct sunlight
