Whether you are an artist or a buyer and you create or acquire artworks, when it comes to framing your painting, the choices could be overwhelming. Wooden frames, coloured frames, metal frames, floater frames – these are just a few possibilities out there that, if chosen correctly, will greatly complement your artwork.
One of the first questions that come to mind is whether to custom frame your artwork or to buy readymade frames. Both options are equally valid as you may work closely with a professional framer in your area that you trust and you have a good relationship with. Readymade frames on the other hand are available here and now, a preferred option when you want to exhibit your work and you don’t have the time to wait until your custom made frame is ready; or when you’ve acquired an artwork as a gift that needs to be delivered straight away; or you simply want a cost effective framing service.

Although generally speaking a canvas artwork doesn’t require framing, there are many artists and buyers that prefer to frame canvas art too for aesthetic and durability purposes. A frame in the same style of the painting but chosen to make sure it won’t overpower it, will greatly complement both the artwork and your home décor. You can choose from floater frames, deep profile or thin profile – all specifically designed to protect and enhance your canvas artwork.
For prints and photographs you can choose from wooden frames, metal frames or clip frames, depending on your home décor and the style of the image. A black and white photograph for example will look good in a metal frame or clip frame while an art print will look great in a wooden frame in a colour and style that complements the picture.
Natural wooden frames are probably the most versatile frame style as they look great with any kind of artwork as per colour and style and they fit in a variety of interior styles from modern and contemporary to traditional and rustic.
If you want to narrow down your search for the perfect frame even further, the I Love Art brand offers affordable and stylish ways to frame your prints and stretched canvases for exhibition or for display in your studio or home. View the full range available at www.greatart.co.uk.
