How to pick the perfect frame for your space?
Looking to get a poster framed?
How to frame your posters and art prints can be a challenge. There are so many styles and colors of frames, focusing on symmetry, contrast, material and matting etc. Your choices are endless. So what should you choose?
We collected 4 tips that will help you finding that perfect poster frame.
Let the art speak for itself
Keep the art work you are framing in mind. Does the frame complement the colors and style of the print. Does the print contain a lot of bold color? Choose a simpler frame, maybe wood or a simpler black or white gallery frame.
Metallic, gold or silver frames pair well with vintage art work. But of course you could as well create a cool contrast by pairing vintage frames with more minimalistic, modern prints.
What style and feeling do you want to evoke with the framed print?
Pay attention to the room
Does the frame fit into the overall atmosphere of the room? Should it blend into the rest of the decor and match the tones of the wall and furniture?
Or do you need for warmth? A rich wooden or warm metallic frame can bring this warmth to a blanc and clean room.
Choose your matting
This is a tricky question, as adding a mat can completely change the look and feel of a print.
Larger prints without mat create a modern feel, whereas smaller prints matted to a large frame tend to draw the viewer closer in.
Or choose a bold color and bring some fun to your gallery wall.
And most important of all: have fun with your art work and your frame.
There are no set rules when it comes to design your own personal gallery wall. Select a funky colorful frame, make your unique frame by coloring it yourself, or experiment with sizes and shapes.
