Think of frames as the final touch on a piece of artwork, like shoes on a suite, they make all the difference! In general, for larger works, wider frames are more decorative and ornamental, and thinner frames are more contemporary and subtle. Take into consideration how much space you&#8217;re trying to fill. If you need the piece to be larger, choose a wider molding. If you&#8217;re creating a grouping, you may want to control framing costs by keeping things simple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choose the right art for you The first step is seemingly easy: select the art you love.
