Tips for caring for your framed art
Quality framing materials can look great for years, decades, or even generations if they are properly cared for.
Most problems arise from improper care and handling.
Here is a helpful tip to keep your framed art looking its best when moving, courtesy of Larson-Juhl:
Make sure your frames are well-wrapped to transport to a new home.
Obviously, you will want to protect the front of the frame so it will look beautiful in your new home.
In addition, the hangers on the back of frames can scratch whatever they come in contact with if they aren’t covered.
If you can put them in boxes, that is ideal, otherwise, bubble wrap will work well as long as you remember not to lean anything against it.
Tips for hanging framed items

To avoid crooked frames on the wall
When frames are hung from a single point, they usually shift on the wall over time.
Both for safety and also to keep frames straight, always hang everything from two points.
On heavier pieces this also helps distribute the weight.

Framed items and your decor
Duane Claridge, co-owner, Lasting image
Today, we offer these framing tips courtesy of Larson-Juhl.
Custom framing is an integral part of decorating a home or business.
In fact, when you buy quality custom framing, it is like purchasing furniture for your walls.
When selecting art and framing, your number one goal should be to find something you love.
Do not settle for art simply because it matches your colour scheme.
If the colours do coordinate, that’s OK, but it really shouldn’t match too well because you want it to stand out so it becomes a special accent in the room.
Tips for hanging framed items in larger rooms
Sandra Parlow, co-owner, Lasting image
Today, we offer these tips courtesy of Larson-Juhl:
Over the past few decades, as large homes popped up across North America furniture manufacturers have followed suit, creating pieces to be proportional to the larger rooms.
When you are having something custom framed, be aware that the proportions of the frame and mat can help balance it too.
A single piece of art can be framed larger or smaller to fit different spaces.
Quick tips on the best height to hang pictures
Pictures are often hung on a wall too high – they are best viewed at eye level.
As a guide, hang pictures:
Make a paper template the size of the picture and attach it to the wall with painters tape.
