A simple comparison of texture, glare, weight, framing and visual formality for different interiors. This studio guide is written to help you make a considered decision before ordering, using the same questions we apply during photograph review and artwork preparation.
Start with viewing distance
Smaller frames suit shelves and bedside tables. Larger canvas or framed pieces need enough distance for the full composition to settle into view.
Match the room, not only the wall
Walnut frames add warmth and formality; canvas feels softer and more relaxed. Consider nearby wood, fabric and natural light.
Protect the artwork
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and high humidity. Use gentle dry cleaning methods and retain the archival file in a second location.
A simple next step
Collect two or three photographs and view them at full size. Note the image with the clearest eyes, most familiar expression and fewest hidden features. If you are still uncertain, our studio can review the options before payment.
