The picture framing process can be daunting, especially if it’s your first time. With differences in frame shapes, mat style and glazing options to navigate (without feeling overwhelmed), this can ultimately take the fun out of creating something beautiful for your family to enjoy.
As a result, it might seem easier to buy a cheap picture frame from a store. However, you also run the risk of buying a poorly made product that could end up doing more harm than good to your artwork.
Thankfully, with the right assistance, this process can be much simpler and far more enjoyable. From drop off to pick up, here’s everything you need to know about the picture framing experience.
