Framing Techniques & Decorating Ideas

No matter which decorating magazine you've read or what do-it-yourself show you've watched, you know framed displays are a key element to the successful design of the rooms you've admired. Today, we don't limit ourselves to framing photographs and paintings. Increasingly, musical instruments, treasured collectibles, and framed sports memorabilia are displayed on our walls and tables. That's because we treasure these reminders of people and places we cherish even more when they are beautifully arranged. Choosing frames and hanging them attractively is an art that is easily mastered. In Framing Techniques & Decorating Ideas you'll learn from the best: the experts at Aaron Brothers, custom framers since 1946. Your options are virtually limitless. Shadowboxes are a wonderful way to present keepsakes such as wine labels. An elaborate silver, pewter, or gold gilt, wide moulded frame adds importance to documents such as diplomas. Using archival materials to showcase children's artwork will help preserve it for future generations. UV glass, for example, minimizes damage caused by external light sources.Aaron Brothers Staff is the author of 'Framing Techniques & Decorating Ideas', published 2004 under ISBN 9781402714856 and ISBN 1402714858.
