Selecting the right frame for an art piece isn't just about choosing a right color or a material, it's an art in itself. This article dives into the world of choosing the perfect 8x10 art frame. A frame that not only enhances the aesthetics of your precious art pieces but also protects it from damage. Where the art will be displayed is another essential factor. The article discusses different aspects of an 8x10 frame, the choice of materials, matching the frame with your artwork, relevant practical aspects, and finally, how to take care of them.
Selecting a frame isn’t just about choosing a colour and a material. When a work comes into our studio, we assess its condition, considering how a frame can present a work most effectively, and also protect it from damage and degradation. It’s ALSO important to consider where the work will be displayed: will it stay in the same place for many years, be in a home, gallery, or required to travel? These considerations guide us in choosing the right frame.
This very popular 8"x10" picture frame features a thin plastic edge and clear glass which pops out from the front of the frame for easy loading of photos. Great for digital photos. Photos or documents can be displayed either horizontally or vertically Frame is 9/16 thick Comes ready for wall mounting Includes a snap-in easel for tabletop display - see Easel Instructions Available in Black or White Made by MCS Industries MCS# 12441, MCS# 12442 Note: Due to space limitations the format frame will only accept thin paper mats.
When it comes to the choice of materials in 8x10 frames, consider the Solid Pine Wood Frame Kit. Here, you get a Burnished Gold finish that adds a classy and rich look to your frame. Additionally, it has a 1-3/8" Profile with 3/8" Rabbet. Another aspect is the Archival Grade Frame Stack that comes with a 98% UV blocking crystal-clear Polystyrene frame front. Besides, the package comes with an 8x10" 4-ply alpha cellulose acid-free, lignin-free, buffered front mat and white back mat. As such, the choice of materials in 8x10 frames can significantly influence the overall look and longevity of your art display.
Choosing the right picture frame depends on a number of elements, including sizes, the match with the contexts of the photos, contrast with the photo’s colors and contrasts with the home décor. At DesignStyles, we offer a variety of styles and colors to perfectly match with your pictures. We have light wooden photo frames with hearts, ideal for family and couple pictures. Acrylic photo frames for elegant pictures, hangable picture frames, photo frames for collages and even photo holders, which are a substitute for photo frames.
Most of the decisions boil down to ratios. Here are the general rules I use. The frame width and the mat width should never be equal - typically the mat width is around 2x the frame width. Ensure some balance between the width of the frame and mat and the size of the photo - don't frame a big photo with a skinny frame. The mat should be the same width on the top and bottom as the sides. The frame style should reflect the photo's subject.
You should think about 1. what’s actually in the photograph, and 2. how big of an impact are you trying to make with the 8x10 frame. It’s perfect for kid’s rooms and bathrooms because those tend to be the smaller spaces in the home. It’s also best for a photograph that features one person only and have a fairly close up shot of their face. This is NOT the right size for a family portrait on the wall. An 8x10” print is still considered table-top size and it’s really a starting point when considering a framed portrait.
So you've proudly hung your beautiful picture frames, now you'll want to keep them looking amazing all year round. Your frames are crafted by experienced framers using high-quality materials. When cleaning any of your frames for the first time, always test the products on a small area of the frame to ensure there is no damage or mark the frame. Cleaning each frame should take no longer than 1 minute. To dust down your frames simply use a feather duster or an anti-static cloth. If the dust has built up a bit, try dampening the cloth in water first.
Choosing the perfect frame is a task that inherently demands an aesthetic sense and a keen eye for detail. As the article suggests, considering the art piece, where it will be displayed and its protection, is pivotal. Embellishing your precious moments or artwork can be a special journey filled with personal touches, and these frames can be a silent yet eloquent way to showcase them. With the advice given on taking care of the frames, they can be kept perfectly presentable for years to come.
