Q: What are some of the trends
in art and framing?
A:
There has been an incredible
amount of focus directed towards
family and the home in recent
months.
Many of
us are spending an increased
amount of time in the home
and, as a result, we are customizing
our surroundings to reflect
and to influence our total
living experience. Comfort,
warmth, style and peace of
mind are much of what we are
trying to achieve both in
our lives and in our homes.
Colors, fabrics, artwork,
furniture, lighting, photographs,
all of these accents around
the home have an incredible
influence on our daily lives.
We, as
professional picture framers,
are seeing many specific trends
in the artwork and memorabilia
being framed, the colors and
textures being used in matting
and framing, and the desire
to frame these items with
the highest quality and preservation
techniques available resulting
in some very incredible combinations
that are making stunning additions
to the walls of our very cherished
living spaces.
After all,
our walls are just as important
as our floors, they deserve
custom furniture as well.
Q:
What determines the cost of
a picture frame?
A:
The cost of framing varies
depending on the size of the
picture and the type of materials
you select.
The Great
Frame Up offers a wide variety
of frames, mats and glass
from which to choose. The
price is also dependent on
whether or not you select
Custom or Do-It-Yourself service.
Or whether your piece warrants
conservation or museum quality
framing. When you bring your
artwork into our stores, we
will gladly help design the
most appropriate framing treatment
to suit both your artwork
and your budget.
