If you’ve just purchased a beautiful new piece of artwork, you might be wondering if you need custom framing services or if a standard store-bought frame will suffice. Many people lean toward the store-bought option, particularly if they just want something simple. Unfortunately, the frame you choose can mean the difference in preserving your artwork or slowly ruining it. 

Why Choose a Custom Framing Service for Your Art

1. Preservation

Professionals are trained in the art of framing. They understand that different pieces of artwork require different materials to protect them for years to come. As a result, they use the highest quality materials to not just beautifully display the artwork but also preserve it. Custom framing services use glass with ultraviolet protection and matting and backing materials that won’t scratch the art or cause other damage, which is particularly important for high-value pieces.

2. Aesthetics

A skilled professional will help you select a frame that enhances the beauty of the art rather than detract from it. With a custom framing service, you’ll never have to worry that it’s too large, bold, or plain for the art you’re displaying. A professional can also work with you to ensure the frame complements the rest of your home or office decor. 

3. Selection

Stores carry only the most common sizes and materials, which can make finding a frame nearly impossible if your art isn’t a standard size. When you use a custom framing service, you’ll have access to thousands of styles and materials, all of which can be crafted to meet the particular dimensions of your artwork. You’ll also find an array of quality matting options in various colors to bring harmony between the art and your home or office.
