Your home décor affects more than how your home looks. It has an impact on the mental health of everyone in the home, self-perception, confidence, mood, and if you need to work from home, it will affect your productivity too.

If you have never taken the time to consider the types of prints to frame and display, it’s definitely worth considering, because there’s a lot more to home décor than framing a single print you like, tapping a nail in the wall and hanging it. 

Dark rooms aren’t the greatest living conditions. We feel much better in the sun. It is why Brits look forward to beach holidays abroad. On a brighter note, though, dark areas in rooms are spectacular for your artwork as they are protected from direct sunlight.

Still though, rooms are best enjoyed when there is as much natural light as possible. That’s where some interior design tricks of the trade come to your rescue.

Would you know what to do if you found yourself with a box of VHS tapes, filled with video footage that’s like an archive of your family history?

Years back (in the 1980’s) at every important family event, it wasn’t unusual to see someone floating around with a camcorder. Wedding parties, Christmas events, Christenings, Baptisms, and yes on holiday too.

Vision boards aren’t new. They have morphed into something that’s really only used online though. The process has become complicated, incorporating everything from typography, colour schemes, images, backgrounds, and with various textures.

Have you tried to find album cover frames? It’s a size you’ll rarely find on the shop’s shelf, ready to pick, pay, pack and go. Most likely, you’ll need to order from a custom framer or shop around online for custom frame sizing. You don’t need to pay an expensive fee for a custom framer to make a frame and professionally fit your album cover inside.

The backing material you use in a picture frame is just as important as the frame itself for the purposes of protection. A range of backing materials are available, and the quality of the material can determine the longevity of the frame.

Laminated photos and posters can be a little tricky to frame when you want an edge-to-edge finish, similar to what you’d see on movie posters at the cinema. Aluminium frames tend to give posters a good-looking finish, in particular with metallic or black profile frames. But you still need to factor in for protection inside the frame, which is where things get tricky with laminated material.

Around 29% of home moves happen in the Summer when families don’t have to worry about school pick-ups and after school activities because it’s the holiday season.

Photography and framing don’t have to be two separate issues. There are tips photographers follow that capture remarkable images on camera that then can be transferred to a wall display by applying the same techniques used to capture the image to present it best in your home, office, or bedroom.  

The Top 3 Photography Tips to Use for Frame Positioning

The majority of artists have the age-old problem of creating art at a faster rate than they’re able to sell them at. Chances are, if that’s you, you’ll have a range of canvas prints, perhaps even photography, all neatly stored with preservation materials ready to demo at the next gallery, trade fair or exhibition.
