However, the spotlight is the artwork and the frame should be the perfect complement for the art and the d\u00e9cor in style and color.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DO NOT USE A FRAME THAT COMPETES WITH THE ART IN COLOR OR TEXTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have other paintings hanging, DON&#8217;T TRY and match the frame. It&#8217;s actually cool to have them different and contrast each other.<br \/>\nMake sure the frame matches the style of the painting, and not detract from it.<br \/>\nMake sure the frame looks appropriate with the decor of the room it will be hanging in?<\/p>\n<p><strong>FRAME BASED ON YOUR STYLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Portraits and landscapes look best with more traditional looking frames.<br \/>\nAbstract, edgy, or modern art looks best with plain geometric frames.<br \/>\nNot all paintings need to be framed. Gallery wrap canvas art is very popular.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TRANSPORTING YOUR NEW FRAMED ART<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When transporting paintings, it\u2019s best to travel when weather is moderate.<br \/>\nThe painting should be carefully wrapped, cushioned, and insulated from moisture, humidity, and temperature extremes. Paintings should always be carried by the sides.<br \/>\nDo not carry the painting by the top of the frame. If the painting is large and heavy, you may need more than one person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HANGING YOUR MASTERPIECE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use the proper wall anchors for your painting. Make sure they can support the weight of the painting.<br \/>\nIf using wire, it should be looped through eye screws, secured in the right and left sides of the frame, so that the painting hangs from a double strand of wire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AVOID EXPOSURE TO&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Water<\/em> &#8211;<br \/>\nLow or high relative humidity are not good for paintings. They tend to bridle and make the paint promote the growth of microorganisms that can damage paintings.<\/p>\n<p><em>Heat &#038; Dirt<\/em> &#8211;<br \/>\nHeat dries out the materials, speeding up the process of natural aging. Hot air also rises and carries dirt with it. Therefore, hanging pictures over a fireplace is not recommended. Smoking indoors can also damage paintings.<\/p>\n<p><em>Light<\/em> &#8211;<br \/>\nUltraviolet light should be kept away from paintings. Eventually, light will discolor the paintings and cause it to fade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLEANING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you need to dust the painting, do not use: wet cloth, canned air, or try blowing on it to remove dirt. Use a clean, soft bristle Chinese watercolor brush or very soft feather duster specifically for paintings instead. Make sure it\u2019s free of debris that could scratch the painting while cleaning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EXTRA ADVICE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Periodically check your painting to make sure it\u2019s secured and the wire is not poking the back of the canvas, as even the slightest pinch can damage a painting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Copy and paste the HTML to embed this infograph: There are no hard and fast rules when framing a painting.
