Q:
What are some of the trends
in art and framing?
A:
There has been an incredible
amount of focus directed towards
family and the home in recent
months.
Many of us are
spending an increased amount
of time in the home and, as
a result, we are customizing
our surroundings to reflect
and to influence our total
living experience. Comfort,
warmth, style and peace of
mind are much of what we are
trying to achieve both in
our lives and in our homes.
Colors, fabrics, artwork,
furniture, lighting, photographs,
all of these accents around
the home have an incredible
influence on our daily lives.
We, as professional
picture framers, are seeing
many specific trends in the
artwork and memorabilia being
framed, the colors and textures
being used in matting and
framing, and the desire to
frame these items with the
highest quality and preservation
techniques available resulting
in some very incredible combinations
that are making stunning additions
to the walls of our very cherished
living spaces.
After all,
our walls are just as important
as our floors, they deserve
custom furniture as well.
Specific
trends include:
>
A surge in framing family
photos, family heirlooms,
wedding photos, and classic
black and white or sepia photography
of the stages of your children’s
lives or the beginning of
yours.
> Simplicity
driving color choices, views
on texture and the style of
framing, but without sacrificing
quality.
> Matting
and moulding with a feeling
of nature and natural raw
materials and carrying the
rich texture of a room onto
its walls.
> A subtle
return to traditional and
royal colors such as reds,
golds, blues, purples, greens
and browns. |
