3 Tips for Modernizing Paintings with Frames

Mat
If you’re looking for a clean modern style, consider adding a mat to your vintage painting. There has been a rise in larger white mats around vintage paintings in interior design. Mats are also great if the old painting has uneven edges, making it seem more expensive and less shabby.
Location
Hanging vintage artwork in more modern homes is a fantastic way to bring classic elements into a space to make it feel homier. Transitional living rooms and bedroom are the perfect spaces for custom framed vintage artwork.
Frame Style
When framing any artwork, consider these few tips. Firstly, are there other frames already in the room and do you want this piece to match them? Next, are there colours you want to bring out in the space or artwork? Lastly, do you want this frame to blend in or stand out? Take stock of the space and consider the frame style options on our website. If you’re looking for a very modern style, a thin black frame is perfect, but for a more traditional space, a metallic or natural wood custom frame is a better choice. Add smaller elements in the space to bring out the art and frame, like matching a throw blanket or pillow to create a cohesive space.
