Atlanta Art Framing Experts Will Make Your Painting Stand Out

By Scott L. Jage


When it is time to go hunting for some art work for your home or office, it is a good idea to go to the local galleries to see what is on offer. The important thing to keep in mind is that a beautiful piece of art is easily spoilt by using the wrong frame. The best way to avoid this from happening, is to seek out the best Atlanta art framing professionals in the business.

Whether you are looking for a water or acrylic piece of art for your home or office, it is a good idea to make sure that it has the appropriate frame. It's very easy to make a mess of a perfect piece of art work by using the wrong border design. Many times the picture is spoilt by the wrong frame.

When you are looking to get in a piece for your home or office, it is important to look at what type of picture will suit your environment. Try to steer away from pieces that do not suit the tone of the room in which you are looking to hang your art. You will also want to make sure that the picture, along with the frame is suited to the furnishings in the room.

When you decorate your home with beautiful art, it is important to see that the frames match the pictures. A good picture is easily spoilt by using the wrong frame. Too heavy a frame on a light picture can make the painting seem subdued. Many pictures that are found in the galleries are sold without frames, and the buyer of the piece is then advised as to what frame to use by a professional framer.

Something else to watch for in a frame is to use one of the colors in the piece. Try going for a tone used in the picture, as this sometimes enhances the design, which is after all the idea behind a frame. You want something that will bring out the colors and tones in the piece and really allow the message of the artist to stand out.

Sometimes it's also a good idea to go completely frameless. Most times, when you go to a gallery to get your pictures, the pieces are sold without a frame and the buyer of the art piece will need to do their own framing. This is especially exciting, as they will no doubt enhance the picture with a stunning frame.

When framing a picture, it is important to see what the finish is. The painting will be in either water color or oils. Acrylic paintings do not need to have glass in front of them for protection, whereas water colors need the glass to protect the piece from the elements.

Remember that the frame, with the glass, is actually there to protect your picture. Most original pieces of work need to be exhibited in their natural state, and in most cases the glass in front of the picture is not needed, especially when the medium used is oil or acrylic paint. Before deciding on a boarder, get the opinion of an Atlanta art framing specialist.
