Adding a Mat to Your Frame: A Step-by-Step Guide

Now, position your artwork behind the mat, ensuring it's centred in the opening. Secure it in place with archival tape, which won't damage the artwork over time. Finally, place the matted artwork into your frame, add the backing, and secure it in place. With these steps, you can easily add a mat to a frame, enhancing the overall presentation of your artwork.

How Frames Add Value to Artwork

A carefully selected frame does more than protect—it adds value by enhancing how the artwork is perceived. Frames act as the interface between the piece and its environment, connecting the two seamlessly. They can be tailored to suit the tone of the artwork, with minimalist frames providing subtle sophistication and decorative frames offering a dramatic flourish. Beyond their visual contribution, frames safeguard the artwork from environmental risks such as sunlight and humidity, preserving its vibrancy and texture. Whether highlighting bold brushstrokes or delicate linework, the right frame complements the artist’s vision and ensures the piece is not just seen but admired. Frames are, in essence, the final touch that completes the creative process.

Selecting the right frame is essential to ensuring the artwork is displayed at its best. Different frame styles are suited for specific types of art and spaces, so understanding your options is key. Classic wooden frames offer a timeless aesthetic, while float frames are ideal for giving a contemporary, dimensional effect to stretched canvases. Ornate frames bring richness to traditional or historical art, while clean-lined frames work well with modern or minimalist pieces. Float frames, in particular, provide an elegant solution for showcasing canvases without covering the edges of the artwork. When choosing a frame, consider the artwork’s tone, the style of the room, and the level of protection required to ensure a cohesive and striking presentation.
