Highlighting a painting in your decor, professional tip no. 1

Whether it's art just to decorate or to expand your collection, it's not so easy to create harmony between the walls, the decor and your new painting. Showcasing a work is not so obvious, even if sometimes chance does things well.

1. Supervision

For very colorful contemporary works, it is preferable to opt for a neutral frame, black or dark wood, white or light wood for a rather light canvas.

If you are a fan of old portraits, landscapes or classic still lifes, we recommend elaborate frames, whether they are Renaissance with linear profiles, Baroque or 19th century with substantial wood carving work. Very beautiful plaster reproductions give an effect just as beautiful as wood. You will find this type of new frame in decoration stores or at a framer (depending on your budget), but also a range of second-hand frames in flea markets, flea markets and antique dealers.

The painting will benefit from being placed under glass for optimal conservation over time.

At OUT SIDE ART, our specialty is Maxi-formats. For large works, the frame, or the frequently used American box, is not necessary. The work is sufficient in itself. In addition, at OUT SIDE ART, the frames on which the painted canvases are stretched are very thick to give depth to the painting and naturally highlight it.
