Learning About Atlanta Custom Framing For Designers

By Alice Bursnell


If you have recently invested in a piece of art, no matter what the cost, you want to make sure it always looks good. In addition, you also want it stay safe so that sun and environmental damage are kept at bay. That is why shops that offer Atlanta custom framing for designers should be your next stop after purchasing a piece of art.

There are many advantages to using a designer to help you choose your custom frame, not the least of which is the discount that they are often given. Also, you get to choose the best way to make your art look fantastic. You also get really high quality materials, from the paint or stain used on the wood, to the actual wood or other materials used to construct the frames. These are the same quality that you would see in a museum.

The fun part of customizing your frames is the choices you get to make when placing your order. First you have to choose a material, which can vary from traditional wood or stained wood all the way to glass or even paper. Then you have to choose a color for that material, one that really brings out the colors in your artwork.

While you are choosing materials, you can decide if you want a mat placed in with the frame. A mat is a thin piece of paper board that helps further define the artwork. It also provides a barrier between glass and the frame so that the artwork will not stick to the glass.

Using a professional and experienced framer has even more benefits. They can let you know what type of art is appropriate to use with a glass frame. Some paintings need to breathe and should not be put behind glass, and a professional can tell you the difference.

You can also go far beyond just paintings or photos when it comes to frames. Perhaps you have a family heirloom like a flag or piece of paper you want framed. Maybe a gorgeous piece of jewelry that is antique that you do not plan on wearing. Even your child's artwork can be custom framed to preserve it.

Finally, a professional framer is a great resource for hardware. Not only will they often sell it in the store, but they can advise you which is best to handle your particular piece. They can give you tips and tricks to making sure things are level and where they would look best in your home to give it that final touch that makes your house a home.
