Frame and mat configurations.
Matching your frame and mat is rarely a good option.
All you need to do is buy a frame in the next size or two up then cut a mat board to fit the frame with a window to showcase the art.
Choosing your own mat and frame allows you to incorporate your own artistic flare and decorative taste into a unique and personal wall piece.
If you re choosing a brown frame you probably don t want to use a brown mat.
The same goes for a red frame and a red mat.
With so many framing styles available we understand that choosing the right frame and mat combo for your art can be confusing.

Though the options can be overwhelming turning your photos into beautifully framed pieces of art doesn t have to be a daunting task.
