You should frame your original or limited edition artwork properly to prolong its life. Knowing the best methods to frame art is a guarantee that you are making an investment. You can also find framed canvas wall art for living rooms from many online sources.
First, ensure you choose a trusted framer who has the right education and experience. You should choose a mat and frame that is not too overwhelming for the artwork. The artwork should be the main focal point, and the framing must complement it. You should reconsider your choices if the frame or mat is what you see first when you enter a room. You should not frame art that isn't in keeping with your decor. The art can be framed correctly so that it will fit in any room. Custom framing means getting the perfect frame for your artwork.
You should frame your paper with an acid-free or rag mat if you plan on framing it. Standard mats can cause your artwork to burn and decrease in value. This is not what you want. There are many mats and frames available, so even in an acid-free area, there is plenty of choices. Two mats are better than one, and often a third mat can give you an incredible look.
You will want to be able to see deckled edges if you have artwork. Your framer will hinge your artwork using acid-free products, and then float it on a mat to make it visible. You can use watercolors, pastels, and chalk as well as charcoal to float on a mat. A second mat will have a window and a spacer between the mat and the art. This allows dust from the art and art to fall into that space.
