Designers know that custom picture frames embellish your spaces, instantly improving the décor of your homes and offices. When you use custom picture framing to enhance your art, pictures, and collectibles, it can transform them into brilliant works of art.

If you have art, portraits or photographs that tell your story, or experiences, you can appreciate how they capture moments in time and are a part of your life’s legacy. When you have these works framed and installed in your home or office, they take on a new life. It is best to get an expert custom picture framing service to frame them and let them adorn your spaces.

Read on to know more about how framed pictures and other art can beautify your space.

Tell Your Story

The display you choose for your pictures is crucial to the telling of your story. Custom framing can be carefully selected to create the best display. These custom framed art works allow you to keep a connection with your loved ones, places you have visited and your memories alive.

Custom framing is also a great way of displaying your photographs instead of storing them hidden on your phone, or in a drawer somewhere.

Design Your Interiors

Framing a photograph or work of art adds a professional, sophisticated look. Store bought photo frames cannot create the same value and effect as custom framing.

Professional custom framing ensures your treasured photographs become an integral part of your interior design. They cannot only beautify the space it is installed in, but also provide the ambience needed to give your space the touch it was lacking.

Convey Your Style

Custom picture framing enhances your interior design by giving it character and personality.

While custom framed family photos and portraits in a hallway, or rooms, shows how you love and value family, custom framed artwork shows your appreciation for beauty.

In addition, the colors of the photo and frame can illuminate the color, texture or theme of your décor.

Give Your Plain Spaces a Lease of Life

Custom framed art and pictures can make your plain walls and rooms come alive. The right custom framing of your photographs or artwork can provide your space the ambience you have been looking for.

Both restoration and conservation refer to fine art preservation. However, both approaches involve different goals and methods. Both restoration and conservation help a piece of fine art retain value. Since there are different types of value in preservation, the value and use of a piece determines the correct approach for your art.

Restoration and conservation aim to prevent the natural destruction of a work of art, caused with time and due to the environment.

Restoration

Artwork restoration focuses on bringing the work back to its original condition. It may include replacement of parts or materials. Successful restoration can make the work of art look like it did when it was first made. Restored works of art can be used again or displayed.

Conservation

Artwork conservation seeks to keep the artwork in the original condition. The aim is to preserve the original material as much as possible, without permanent changes or alterations. If there are any materials or processes used to stabilize or preserve the artwork, they should be removable.

Conservation is done in case of works of art that possess historical value, or those that are valuable in their original state. The artwork itself may limit what can be done to prevent deterioration due to time and the environment. An antique is a good example. However, if the artwork is in good structural condition, and holds no historical significance, but is a fine specimen, and you wish to save it for a long time, you may seek its restored.

Artwork conservation can help to keep that historical legacy and value intact if the painting or artwork was –

· made by, or belonged to, or was commissioned by someone of historical significance

· marked in a historical event

· belonged to a famous person

· contained elements of historical significance

Oil Painting restoration

An oil painting is cleaned by removing and replacing the varnish coat that protects the oil paint. Old varnish yellows with age and accumulates dirt from smoking, wood and coal soot that becomes imbedded in the surface. The painting is first tested to determine the proper organic solvent combination that would not affect the paint. If an area is missing paint, it is isolated from the original and the missing paint is replaced by matching the original color and style of brushwork. All this requires extreme expertise and care and should be done ny experts only.
