Many people choose to have prints in their home over paintings when it comes to artwork for their walls. Many of the old style prints have been recreated so that they can adorn the walls of many homes across Britain. This could be the reason why prints are so popular now. Even some of the most famous paintings have been put onto prints so that people are able to have a copy of a masterpiece on their living or dining room wall.
But you can’t just stick your print to the wall using sticky tack. You need to make sure that it has been framed properly to show off the artwork to its best advantages. That is what framing is all about. A frame should complete the artwork and guide you towards looking at it.
Before you frame your print, you should ask your framer which type of frame is going to suit your print. Most prints suit a modern simple frame rather than a fussy traditional frame. Sticking to a neutral colour such as black, white or light coloured wood would be advisable to make your print stand out from the frame.
