Confused by all the samples on our wall? From fancy gold to funky textures, we have frames available in an incredible selection.  It is fun just to look, but how do you choose the right one for your picture? We can help with that.

The style and size of the frame is a key part of the framing design.  It should be coordinated with the artwork and any matting or other decorative elements that will be used. The goal is a balanced design that enhances and provides a good presentation for the art, without overwhelming it.  The color, shape, texture and size  of the moulding all play a role.  Some people use narrow, contemporary frames on all of their art, while others enjoy the elegance and drama of wide, ornate mouldings, even on small artwork.  The best framing for each piece of art evolves from a combination of personal preference, current fashion, and cultural traditions. If color is critical to your room design, bring along a swatch of fabric or paint so we can coordinate the art to the room.     
                                
Whether seeking period authenticity or eclectic flair, or anything in between, there is a line of frame mouldings to suit every style. Today’s mouldings are made from wood, aluminum, and newer materials such as resin.  They may be hand-carved, machine embossed, extruded, or molded.  The finishes range from simple solid colors to elaborate, multi-layered colors and textures.

Stop into our shop and lets us to show you several different mouldings for your picture.  Notice how different mouldings affect the appearance of the art: some look important, some look formal, others playful.  One may accent a particular color in the art, while another one seems to reflect the overall style of the art.  There are many possibilities and looking is fun!
