Framing photographic art prints
Framing photographic art prints is an extension of the creative process of decorating your interior and space.
- frames have a number of key functions, they support and protect photographic art prints
- framing provides an important aesthetic value to your photographic wall art
- a frame should set the boundaries so the wall art doesn’t overwhelm it's environment, or the environment doesn't impose on the picture; and act as a transition between the wall and the art
- framing can also draw the eye to the picture, emphasizing the more subtle elements and colors, and even increasing the apparent size of the photographic wall art
- there are many framing options out there at many different budgets so this is one way that you can really express your own particular style in combination with our photographic art prints

Mats
The Mat is the border between the frame and the art piece.
- Photographic art will have greater impact if matted in a contrasting color to the wall. Choose a dark mat for a light wall and vice versa.
- Choosing a wider than average mat can change the way a person views photographic wall art and it also invites them to view it.
Framing a group of photographic art prints
When grouping photographic art prints, select frames that will tie them together and show off your collection as a unified whole.
- Try to select frames that have a similar element in common, whether it be material (i.e., sterling silver, gilded wood, cream glazed porcelain); or style (heavily ornate, clean-lined modern, or handcrafted-looking painted wood).
