Framing Children’s Art

Have you ever seen any pieces of artworks that made by children? These magic arts always give us adults big surprises. If you are so fortunate that have a budding Picasso in your family, why not think about custom framing his/her arts, hanging them up in your living room, and sharing the happiness they have ever given to you with friends?

Display artworks created by you children will not only encourage the spirit of creating, foster their self-esteem, but also convey the pride of you of being a mother or a father.

A suitable frame will make your child’s masterpiece a real art. It is a popular choice to use a brightly colored frame to present a children’s art, but you also could make your decisions about how to frame by yourself. Before that, considering the following aspects:

l  Surroundings. You should decide where to hang it up first, for example, in your living room or in children’s room. Then you could choose the style and color of the frame and the kind of mat that match the surroundings best.

l  The art. Framing can enhance your child’s art in different ways depending on the design you choose. Try to pick out one design that matches both your surroundings and your child’s art.

l  A relatively big frame. It will be easier for you to replace the current art with a new one or a better one if you use a relatively big frame. You’d better change the mat at the same time to go with the whole framing. Some changes surely could make everybody feel verdure.

l  You could bring a photo of the room into which you want to marry your finished piece, and we will give you more advices in detail.

Choose right color for mats

When you choose mats for your diploma frames, the first thing you care about might be the color. It is easy to understand since people are sensitive to colors. Thus determining the right color for mats becomes a key element in the design of frames.

To choose a right color for the mats, you should decide between light and dark color. It is generally believed that the mats with light colors can broaden the picture in the frame, which means the picture seems more outward, or you get more open perception on the picture. While the dark colors can stress the picture, i.e. dark mats tempt your eyes on the picture and give your perception a tunneling effect.

Another important step is to ensure color matching between the picture/artwork and the mats. As a rule, the color for mats should be no lighter than the lightest color in the frame and no darker than the darkest one. Always keep in mind that it’s the picture or the artwork that is the focal point of your frame, not the mats.

When you choose a mat for your frame, the common choice would be neutral colors, which can stretch from white to gray. A neutral color can not only enhance the content, but also fit into any room décor.

Choose right width for mats

When you design diploma frames, you may choose mats as the most important part since they can unify the elements of frames and increase the aesthetic feelings. As a rule, you should determine the width of mats according to two things — the size of your diploma, image or artwork, and the focus of the frames. 

Generally speaking, wider mats can make the diploma or artworks in the frame look more impressive.

For small pieces of items in frames, wider mats emphasize the items and make them professional. While for large items, wider mats can maintain the balance between the items and the outer frames to achieve a proper proportion. It is suggested that the width of mat should be twice as wide as that of the frame.

The rule given above does not apply all the time, especially when you design double mats. In double mats case, it is a bad idea or even a taboo to choose the same width for both mats, which makes the frame look striped. The most common design for double mats is to make the inner mats, which are close to diploma or artworks smaller in order to stress the content of frames.

For special cases, such as a piece with special shape in the frame, you should determine the width according to the needs of the contents. For example, if you are framing a very long piece, you may consider a mat which is a little bit wider at the bottom than at the top to give a feeling of providing enough support for the long piece.

FoamCore or Corrugated

When you browse the various diploma frames, you may notice that usually there are two kinds of backing board – foamcore or corrugated. The reason why frame suppliers offer two kinds is not because they think it is nice to provide more choices or they are simply feeling whimsical. It is always the eternal question in the design of diploma frames.

 

Price is the major difference between the two rivals. foamcore usually has higher price since it has been buffered to slow down the deterioration which is caused by acid or something else. Therefore, foamcore is well worth the price if you think the protection and preservation of your diploma is one of the highest priorities. Thus foamcore is recommended for important certificates and other valuable documents. In addition, since most of foamcore has white or light color, it matches items like diplomas or certificates better than dark brown corrugated backing, because documents may have kind of translucence.

 

But every coin has two sides, corrugated backing is great for something that is not so precious, such as photograph, or some licenses which is updated every year. In business, the perfect compliment to an item as a poster is corrugated backing since poster paper is heavy enough to avoid any translucence. Also because of its lower price, corrugated backing is a good choice if you are looking to keep the costs low.

Frame Your Memory for Fun

Do you have a collection of souvenirs and mementos from a fun vacation? Fun vacation memory items can be displayed in a beautiful shadowbox hanging in your home instead of packed away in the attic.

Different from other frames, shadowbox frames have enough depth to house not only flat items such as a print or photograph, but also three-dimensional objects as well. You can attach these souvenir objects in the frame with glue or special hangers, or place them on a ledge of shelf built inside the frame. Also, there are kinds of shadowboxes which are designed to open and close so that the items are removal. In addition, you can place interesting backgrounds or mats to add color and dimension to the shadowbox frames to increase the aesthetics feelings.

The most fun in the design of a shadowbox frame comes from deciding which items to be used to display. You can combine souvenirs, photographs and special pieces you brought back from vacation. For example, you may choose seashells and cobbles you collected on a beach. And poker chips may be the best choice to remember last Christmas in Las Vegas. A beautiful shadowbox with special items and layout often become the focus of a room. The unique connotation of a shadowbox lies in the pleasure behind the keepsakes

Match diploma frames with home decor

When we think about decorating our home, it is a unified style that we should always keep in mind. The principle also applies when we are going to add a diploma frame, which is a special home decoration, to our decorating scheme. Do you know how to find out whether one design of diploma frame fits your home decoration? Or could you choose a perfect frame for your room? In the following, we will discuss with you the design of diploma frames and the relationship between the style of home decoration and frame design.

According to the above principle, if your room is filled with a lot of wood furniture, the best choice for your diploma would be wooden frames. On the other hand, if you have a contemporary decoration scheme for your home, metal frames or painted ones may provide you with a perfect match.

It is always smart to add a touch of interest and color to your diploma frames. A mat is an excellent way to merge the design of your diploma frame with your home decoration style. There are endless possibilities for mats. They can be decorative with dots or lines to match the frames and your rooms, or they can be kept solid. Mats with texture are also good choices for diploma frames since texture brings diploma frames an artful addition.

Even if the color of your diploma or certificate is not a perfect match with your room decoration style, a brilliant design of frames could help blend in with some any styles. Thus, in the design of frames, it is important to find something that is the perfect fit to your home decoration scheme.
