That\u2019s the best part about custom framing, we customize our frames to your needs, so you don\u2019t have to change your art to fit our frames! Finding your location though can guide you in choosing the style, color, and size you will need for your frames.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are decorating your bedroom, take your bed frame, dresser, or your vanity into consideration.&nbsp;For example, if you have a light wash bedroom set and accessories consider our&nbsp;<a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/frame-styles\/dayton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dayton Frame<\/a>&nbsp;in the color Sand.&nbsp;For your living room take a look at your couch, coffee table, or other decor pieces like a piano or clock on the wall.

You have the option to add a single or double matboard, or none at all. We suggest if you are adding a matboard to add a color that is going to enhance your picture. Look for small colorful details in your photo, such as an accessory, an article of clothing, or even something in the background of your photo that will give your portrait that extra POP it was looking for!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"howto-step-1633378446657\" class=\"rank-math-step\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-step-title \">Step 4: Finally, your cover!<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-step-content \"><p>Last but certainly not least is choosing your cover. We have three options for covers, our\u00a0<strong>clear acrylic<\/strong>\u00a0which is most conventional and almost like looking through glass.\u00a0<strong>If your art is colorful, clear would be the best option,\u00a0<\/strong>as it would not soften any of the colors in your photo or artwork. However, the clear finish is reflective, and it could cause glare if placed near a window, where the sun would shine through. Another option is our\u00a0<strong>non-glare acrylic.\u00a0<\/strong>This will soften the color of your artwork, so we recommend using it if your overall piece doesn\u2019t have bright colors, or is entirely in black and white. Non-glare acrylic will also diffuse sunlight that hits it, which would make your artwork more viewable if it\u2019s near a window. Lastly, we offer <strong>Conservation Clear<\/strong> which<br \/>provides superior clarity with 99% UV protection, preserving your art without color distortion. It is extra durable and rigid at 3mm thick.\u00a0Perfect for artists, museums, galleries, larger works, and anything that you want to preserve long-term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-thoughts\">Final Thoughts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jenny_Teodoro_@myinjenuity_001.jpg\" alt=\"gallery wall \" class=\"wp-image-12129\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jenny_Teodoro_@myinjenuity_001.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jenny_Teodoro_@myinjenuity_001-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.frameiteasy.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Jenny_Teodoro_@myinjenuity_001-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning your favorite photos into framed prints to display on your walls has never been easier!
