These days, there are so many ways to incorporate canvas wall art into your home décor. You can purchase ready-to-hang prints or even create your own custom artwork on a blank canvas. But if you want to take your artwork to the next level, consider framing your canvas print.
Framing not only protects your canvas from wear and tear but also makes it look more polished and put together. When framing a canvas print that’s already been stretched onto stretcher bars, you’ll have less work to do — but you may need help choosing the right frame.
Canvas prints can be framed in a number of ways. You can choose a wood picture frame, metal frame, or floater frame for stretched canvas artwork, the latter of which is made especially for canvas.
If you’re not sure which type of frame to choose, take a look at the other décor in your home and try to match the style of your frame to the rest of your furnishings.
Framing a canvas print is a great way to protect it, add a touch of class, and make it look polished and put together. If you’re choosing a frame, be sure to order your points with the frame at the required depth. If you choose a metal frame that has a much deeper rabbet than your print’s stretcher bar, you may need to use spring clips to hold it in place. And if you’re framing a canvas print that’s already been stretched onto stretcher bars, be sure to check the fit of the frame before you buy it.
Art lovers and aficionados know that the importance of a frame should not be underestimated. The right frame can take a good piece of art and make it great, and the wrong frame can take a great piece of art and make it look cheap or out of place. But with the vast array of choices available, how do you choose the best frame for your particular canvas print? The first step is to decide what kind of frame you want. Do you want a traditional frame that will stand out?
Or do you want something a bit more subtle that will look great with any decor? Or do you want something that will protect your print but also look great? Definitely, some things to consider when framing and hanging your treasured piece.
