Never before have you had so much choice when it comes to artwork. Not only are there the stereotypical wooden or metal frames, they also come in a vast collection of colours and styles to suit everybody’s taste and requirements.
Before getting stuck in when choosing your new mount and frame for your chosen piece of artwork, it would be a good idea to find out what particular style would best suit the piece that is going to be framed. There is absolutely no point putting an oil painting that is traditional in style inside a contemporary wooden frame. It would be better suited in an ornate traditional frame that is gold in colour or something similar.
Similarly, you will also need to determine, with the help of a professional framer, whether it would be appropriate to include a mount with the frame. Mounts play an important role when it comes to protecting the artwork once it is inside the frame and has been hung on the wall. They come in a range of different colours and sizes, including a variety of widths so that it does not dominate the piece of artwork inside the frame.
