Top Tips for Selecting the Perfect Frame for Your Artwork

Frame it Right: Your Guide to Perfecting Your Artwork's Look

Picking the right frame is like finding the perfect melody for your favorite song – it can transform your artwork into a masterpiece that resonates with your space.

Here at Neil Warner Pictures, we get that the frame isn't just an afterthought – it's a canvas for your creativity. So, we've put together some down-to-earth tips to help you make the right choice.


Framing is more than decor – it's the heartbeat of your art. If you're an interior designer, art lover, or a project manager, you know how those little details can make a big impact. That's why we've gathered these practical insights to make framing your artwork a breeze.

Consider the Artwork's Style and Medium, Match Your Art's Personality


Your artwork's style and medium are like its personality traits. Modern art? Go for sleek frames that complement its edge. If you're working with something classic or traditional, an ornate frame could be just the thing to bring out its charm.

Framing in Harmony with Space


The frame is no less than a co-star in the grand play of your space. It isn't just about appearances; it's about integration. Visualize it as the supporting cast member that enriches the collective narrative. To synchronize harmoniously, factor in the room's palette, the furniture's personality, and the overarching theme. Just like a chord in music, the frame should enhance the atmosphere, resonating seamlessly with its surroundings.

Mounting Dimensions, Elevating Depth


Mounts, often concealed heroes, add an extra dimension to the art. A neutral mount subtly lifts the piece, accentuating its presence without stealing the limelight. Dare to make a statement? Opt for a contrasting mount that sparks intrigue and adds an element of surprise, guiding the observer's gaze with finesse.


Sizing Up, Crafting Balance


Size wields influence, a factor that should be wielded with finesse. The frame's dimensions are a tactile symphony, with an overtly bulky frame overpowering the art and a slim one diminishing its impact. The artistry lies in finding that delicate balance where the frame and the artwork coalesce seamlessly.



Embracing the Unconventional


Art isn't bound by convention, and neither should framing be. For those artistic outliers, our custom framing extends its arms of creativity. Odd shapes, unique sizes – they find their bespoke frames, celebrating their idiosyncrasies while preserving their essence.

Safeguarding Eternity


The passage of time can be relentless, but your art's integrity need not falter. Our frames stand as guardians, constructed with acid-free and UV-resistant materials that shield your artwork from the ravages of time, ensuring its vitality remains undiminished.
