Expert framers guide you through design options to nd the perfect combination for your artwork.
Choosing Your Mat
The rightmatselection draws attention to your photo while adding depth and visual balance to the nal presentation.
Color Strategy
Select a hue that draws out the third or fourth most predominant color in your art, not the main one.
Neutrals like white, ivory, and black offer timeless versatility.
Sizing Rules
Standard mat width is 2-4 inches, typically at least 1 inch wider than the frame moulding. Oversized mats can create a sophisticated art gallery aesthetic.
Advanced Styles
Consider accent mats (double matting) to add a luxurious layer of color, or a "weighted bottom" where the bottom margin is larger for a traditional look.
