Professional Atlanta Custom Framing For Decorators

By Alice Bursnell


A designer creates an instant image of how the rooms would ultimately look when they enter into a home or office space. To improve the beauty and appeal, they think about wall paint, furnishings, fixtures, carpets and decorative items. When they choose to use Atlanta custom framing for decorators, they are working with professionals who share like goals.

There is more to making art into a suitable showpiece than just stuffing it into a stock frame and hanging it on the wall. This practice only works when the room is meant to be neutral and not express any particular personality. The owner's tastes are easily represented in the space when the artwork is placed in specially made casing.

Designers often try to understand their client's preferences and exactly what best represents their taste and personality. Many times customers ask the professional to incorporate something they find personally sentimental into the room by finding an effective way to display it. A quality decorator has no problem accepting this challenge.

The process starts by picking the art that is to be showcased. This can be virtually anything such as a canvas painting, artwork done on paper or cloth, mirrors, collections, souvenirs, clothing, memorabilia or anything else the individual finds meaningful enough to have framed and displayed. With the right setting and casing, there are almost no limits on how a focus piece can be created.

After choosing the focus item, a frame style that is going to give it the most flattering setting needs to be selected. Three of the main options are keeping it simple with understated casings, embodying a particular time period with historical elements, or placing dimensional items in shadowboxes. Every type has many combination possibilities to best enhance the piece and represent the client.

Another important step is mounting, which greatly affects the look of the final piece. Art boards, mats, spacers and acid free papers are all elements that can enhance certain aspects of the art and create a dramatic appearance for a more powerful impact. These parts may be used alone or in endless combinations of colors, cuts and thicknesses.

The finishing touch is to decide which type of glass would best serve the needs of the encased artwork. There are several surface styles including anti-reflection, ultra clear, UV protective and museum quality, each one providing different levels of protection and other benefits and looks. A trained professional can help with the decisions.
