How To Decorate A Picture Frame
Same as the function of upholsteries work for the home decor, what we do to enrich the texture of frame is called photo frame decoration. This process adds some novel elements to the traditional wooden pic frame to make additional effects. The decoration materials can be various. We normally classified them into two types, 2D and 3D decorations. 2D refer to the printing techniques on the frame surface while 3D means engineered 3-D texture upon the frame like laser cut and surface inlay.
The Patterns And Styles Ideas Of Wooden Picture Frame
We get most of the design idea from the repeated traditional or ethnical patterns such as Moorish or Arabic styles. Some are extracted from the most ordinary pattern like geometric and scallop shapes. There are some renowned artists like William Morris, Toile de Jouy, Anna Maria Garthwaite, Jan van Huysum with their signature design works that really inspire us a lot in the frame pattern design.
Picture Framing Materials Wood Comparison
Every piece of lumber has three types of surface: end grain, face grain, and edge grain. The face grain is what you see on a wider side of the wood board. Edge grain is also known as vertical grain produced by quarter-sawing to expose the edge of the growth rings on the widest surface of the board. End grain grabs most of the attention by its aesthetic pattern, beautiful color, and durability. It's obtained by a cross-cut overgrowth ring with a 90-degree angle. The cost analysis: End grain > Edge grain > Face Grain
What To Do With Old Wooden Picture Frames
Frames can come with varying degrees of maintenance requirements usually depending on the material they're made of and where you hang them. That said, we would recommend — for an older photo, at least — to use as low maintenance of a product as you can. This limits the need to handle the frame itself which in turn lessens the possibility of mishandling your photo from the equation. This means that you won’t compromise your photograph by repeatedly touching or maneuvering it.
Here at Frame It Easy, you can rest assured that your frame will require little to no maintenance. Our wood frame are made with high-quality North American hardwoods and are as sturdy as they are beautiful. Our metal wooden photo frames for wall are aluminum-based and either anodized or powder coated to be durable and corrosion-resistant as well as decorative. Our corners are carefully mitered to not only achieve a perfect fit but to help keep pollutants and moisture away from your photograph.
