Textured Mats Make a Difference
Selecting mats with the right texture and color are very important components of picture framing design and presentation of art. Textured mats and rich colors offer an upscale look that complement any home décor.
The first consideration when framing artwork is to surround it with the colors, textures, and dimensions that will show off the artwork in style. A great design involves combining mats and moulding to bring out the best in the art.
Textured mats are one of the most prominent trends today because they add a sense of depth and richness to the final design.
Mats with a crackle or gilded finish are ideal choices for folk art and antique prints. The texture adds life and quietly brings out the best in the artwork. Coarseweave fabrics tend to follow trends in fashion and fabrics, presenting creams and reds as well as blacks, golds, and soft greens.
Textured mats are offered in conservation and preservation-quality grades, and in assorted colors. Soothing yellow-greens, rich golden browns,and soft purples are popular color choices. A range of lavender tones have become new alternatives to gray mats.
Bring your artwork to A Framer's Touch and we will help you choose the right mat and texture to enhance your artwork. With the right mats, your art will look its best and it will coordinate with the color and feel of your home décor.

New September 2008
SMALLWORK CANVAS EDITION
By: Dean Morrissey
Image size:
8"w x 10"h.
Edition Size:150
Price $185.00
More invigorating than the first nip of frost in the air, more uplifting than colored lights in the neighborhood trees, more highly anticipated than a snow day, is Dean Morrissey's annual tribute to Santa Claus. This year's elegant portrait celebrates the quiet joy of the holiday season, with Saint Nick seemingly captured in a moment of contemplation mere minutes before setting out on his celebrated annual route through the skies.
