6 Qualities to Look for in Framing Materials for Your Art Prints

 

There’s no doubt that DROOL’s offerings of original art are amazing, especially when you consider the breadth of the selections and the benefits received by the creators. However, while you certainly can order DROOL’s illustration, photo, and graphic design prints on their own, we recommend that you get a picture frame with each piece, especially if you don’t have the time to hunt down a correctly sized picture frame for your art prints.

 

When we look at wall art, most of our attention understandably goes to the prints. However, the frames that hold them in place are more than just borders for your art. They’re essential elements that protect, elevate, and complete each of your pieces. Framing shields your artworks from dust accumulation, damage, and exposure to the elements, helping maintain their quality for years to come. 

 

If resale value is something you’re interested in, then getting picture frames for each piece in your collection is a no-brainer. However, a more immediate benefit of well-chosen frames is that they can complement the artworks’ colours and compositions, transforming them from being simple cool objects to truly impactful pieces in your home or workplace. 

 

Regardless of whether you want DROOL artworks as pieces to preserve or simply as things to enjoy, you’ll want to make sure to order the right kinds of frames for them. You’ll want to especially pay close attention to the materials used in your frames, since they can seriously impact the longevity and aesthetic value of your art prints. Consider the following when you’re selecting frames for any kind of wall art:

 

1) High-Quality Finishing

 

 

When it comes to frames, the specific fit and finish can make or break the look. Frames like those from DROOL feature smooth, refined finishes built with attention to detail. While the effect is subtle, it can add a refined look without detracting from the artwork. A good finish like the ones executed by DROOL’s frame makers should not only blend with the art, but it should also be durable, ensuring the frame keeps the art looking its best over time.

 

2) Premium Materials for Durability

 

 

Speaking of keeping things looking their best, great frames are always made with long-lasting materials. DROOL’s frames, for example, are a solid anddurable option that should support your art prints throughout their whole lifespan. This solid construction is not just about aesthetics—it also ensures your art remains secure and properly displayed for years to come.

 

3) Archival Quality

 

 

If a frame cannot guarantee the longevity of your art, you may want to reconsider getting it. DROOL’s frames are constructed to archival preservation standards so that your delicate pieces are preserved from damage. A selection of archival and acid-free materials is used in all DROOL frames to keep your precious prints intact for decades. All DROOL mats and backing are acid-free to keep every bit of your art in pristine condition, preserving colours, textures, and details for longer.

 

4) Customisability for a Personal Touch

 

 

Better personalisation allows you to find the perfect fit for each artwork. DROOL’s customisable frames offer several classic choices for colour, size, and style, letting you easily tailor each frame to the specific needs of your piece and its place within your display area.

 

5) Ease of Use and Versatility

 

 

Speaking of display areas, DROOL’s frame options make it simple to refresh your collection and spaces frequently. If you’re a creative yourself or you simply like to switch things around often, you’ll appreciate that DROOL’s frames come with convenient backings and reliable hanging mechanisms that make your art pieces easy to hang and adjust. This ease of use is great for enjoying framed art without the frustration of complicated setups.

 

A framing solution from DROOL that you might want to consider are GLO Frames, which come with a QuickHang design that makes it a breeze to position your art however you like. You can also easily slot existing artwork into your GLO Frames for effortless protection. Order multiple GLO Frames to kit out your entire collection or just one for the centrepiece on your wall.

 

6) Consider Materials That Provide a Modern Edge

 

 

Though classic black, white, and natural wood options are safe choices for most spaces, they may not be what you’re looking for, especially if you want to display an avant-garde piece of art. For an especially eye-catching and vibrant display, DROOL’s GLO Frames add a stylish twist. These frames combine in vibrant transparent acrylic, making them perfect for giving a new dimension to art prints that work especially well in hip settings.
