Tips on How to Choose the Best Custom Framing
When it comes to custom framing, you should consider choosing a theme which complements your photo. For example, a picture of a soccer team will look better in a frame that has a sports theme, however, wedding and anniversary frames should include names and dates. And, make sure your custom-made picture frame actually fits your photo, painting, or document properly, and it includes the correct hardware to hang them with. And, decide whether you want your frame to include any special accessories like plexiglass or a mat.
Your custom-made frame will often vary depending on what you want to frame. For example, when it comes to oil paintings, the frame could be crafted in wood, however, a custom poster would look better in a simplistic metal frame. When you want a custom frame for the likes of a document or a certificate, metal or wood will work better, and both can be personalized.
When the frame you choose is made from wood, you will have quite a few options to choose from. You will have to decide what finish you want, and the color of the frame, for example, a light color such as ivory when your background is either dark or brightly colored. It is a good idea to have some contrast when choosing a frame, as it makes a good presentation for your artwork.
However, should your background be light, choose a wood frame that has a dark finish, like mahogany, cherry or walnut. Bronze, copper, or pewter frames work well when it comes to framing old family photographs due to their vintage style. Some of these can also be personalized and engraved with the likes of dates and names.
