Custom Framing to Personalize Your Décor
August 17th, 2007
(ARA) – When juggling the demands of work and family, busy homeowners often reach for the ease and convenience of mass-produced décor to create an atmosphere that reflects their own personal style. However, this “one-size-fits-all” approach to home decorating can often lead to lifeless rooms that weren’t created so much to be lived in as they were to be looked at.
During his recent turn on Bravo’s “Top Design” reality television series, Chicago interior designer, Erik Kolacz repeatedly demonstrated the importance of using your personal tastes into your home. “Stick to what appeals to you, and you can’t go wrong.”
One of the easiest ways to work personal style into home décor is through thoughtful choices in artwork. “Utilizing the skill and expertise of a custom framer makes a huge difference in how well a piece will fit into your space,” says Kolacz.
Consider a few of these additional tips for creating a unique home environment that matches your distinctive style:
1. Remember that the frame and mat should complement the art, not compete with it.
2. Size your piece to balance with the architecture in the room. Crescent offers matboards in a variety of textures and colors that make it very easy to achieve this.
3. Consider the room color and the space where the piece will be hung.
4. Don’t limit yourself to framing canvas or paper artwork; consider framing silverware, fishing lures or musical instruments.
Finally, choose a custom framing professional that guarantees your satisfaction with the finished piece.
