Framing FlockPhotography wall art
Framing your wall art is an extension of the creative process of decorating your interior and space.
- Frames have a number of key functions, they support and protect the wall art
- Framing provides an important aesthetic value to your 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 wall art.

Mats
The Mat is the border between the frame and the art piece.
- FlockPhotography wall 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 FlockPhotography wall art and it also invites them to view it.
Framing for interior decoration styles
When choosing a frame consider colors, styles and materials that match the style of your room and the subject of the photographic wall art.
The frame should enhance and not detract from the overall style of the space.
If you are displaying only one large photograph in a room pick a frame that will not only enhance the picture but also be strong enough to stand on its own.
- For a Minimalist interior or home decor style use modern materials such as steel, glass, mirror or white lacquer for the frame. Frames with either sharp angles or smooth curves suit well.
- For a Rococo interior design or home decor style, use ornate frames which including s-curved detail or ornate carving.
- For a Country home decor style choose simple shapes of frames made with natural materials.
- For the Traditional home decor style use carved, dark hardwoods in big heavy frames.
- For the Retro interior or home decor style use bold pattern and primary colours for the frames. Synthetic materials and metallics work well for Retro frames.
Framing a group of FlockPhotography wall art
When grouping FlockPhotography, 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).
