Purpose of picture frames and mounts

Why frame and mount?

Posted: 28th November 2010

Frames and mounts each have individual jobs to do for your picture. It is important that you choose carefully your picture frame and mount as the wrong choice can make your artwork look terrible. Professionals can easily tell you which frame will best fit your picture.

Before you frame you artwork, make sure you have removed the bits you do not want from the picture. It will not look very nice if there is a gap between the picture and mount/frame. The option is available to increase and decrease the size of your photograph with most developers.

Having a wide mount that also has a neutral colour will help your pictures and photos to be more eye-catching. The reason there is a mount is so that it directs the viewer’s eye to your artwork and also to improve the look of it. The point is to enhance the look of the photograph, not steal the attention from it – it is for this reason that you should opt for a neutrally coloured mount.

You must put a lot of care into choosing your frame’s colour, as brightly coloured frames can take away from the beauty of your pictures.

Cheap Picture Frames!

It's Official...

Posted: 10th November 2009

Yesterday I had an enquiry from a friend of ours on Twitter. The person (who will remain unnamed) informed us that she went down to her local picture framers and asked how much standard A4 sized (297mm x 210mm) photo frames were, they quoted our friend £30 each. She later informed me about this and I advised her to look on our website using the Design Studio, to her delight the same frames she wanted were only £8.94 each with us! That's a saving of 70% - she later called us 'Saviours'.

The importance of photo frames!

Posted: 6th November 2009

Photographs of our friends and family are some of the most important possessions we have. In fact, when questioned as to which items you would rescue in case of a house fire, the majority of people will give photographs as their answer.

For people who are living away from their family or who just don't get to see their loved ones enough, photographs are a life saver. They can bring back memories, emotions and sentiments so easily. And in order to protect our precious photos, we rely on photo frames.

In most living spaces or bedrooms, you will spot a few photo frames dotted about. Photo frames can vary in design, from the subtle and stylish silver frames to the more elaborately decorated photo frames. So there is something to suit every taste and every room.

Photo frames ensure that your photos are not only displayed for all to see, but they also protect the photos from damage and of course loss. Whether its one or multiple openings you want in your mount then eFrame.co.uk has the broadest range avaliable today.

Anyone who is missing someone in their lives will know that just one glimpse of a photo can bring you so much closer to that person. And by having that photo displayed in a beautiful frame in prime position, you are ensuring that they are never far from your thoughts.

Picture frames can transform your room!

Posted: 6th November 2009

Interior design has come a long way in the last few years and as with anything, the trends are constantly shifting. But one thing that always remains the same is the presence of art.

Whether a room is decorated in a traditional style or the popular modern, minimalist design, there is no doubt that a good piece of art can really add the finishing touch to any room.

But it only has the desired effect if it is displayed correctly. After all, no one wants their lounge to resemble a teenager’s bedroom with posters plastered haphazardly all over the wall.

Picture frames can really make a difference to a piece of art and can transform it into the focus point of the entire room. With the right framing, art or posters can look really striking and eye catching.

A picture frame can dramatically alter the look of your piece of art and make it look much more professional, so it is important to make the right decision and to choose the right colours and materials to not only suit your interior design, but the piece of art too. With our innovative Design Studio we make this easy for you.

No matter what style you have chosen for your interior design, you can be assured that a piece of art displayed in a professional picture frame will be a timeless and stylish addition to your home.
