HOW TO VISUALISE art IN YOUR OWN ROOM (CLICK A BUTTON AND SEE A picture ON A WALL)

1/29/2021

So you've been to the gallery or looked at the artists' galleries on this website, but you're still not sure. You're asking yourself:
  • Will it fit in with the rest of my decor? 
  • Is it the right size
  • will the frame suit my wall?
Well after a bit of research I found a website  called "Oh my prints" which allows you to upload an image into a virtual room.  Make a right click on any of our artists' images, and save to your device to do this. Even better you can upload a photo of your own room and drop the image into it. (Make sure you tidy up first!) You can scale the artwork to different sizes in the space and download the resulting photo. 

Then there are framing options. The framers we use have over 1100 options! That sounds daunting but once you categorise your preferences it's much easier.

Most of our originals and prints have an off white mount and a textured off white wooden frame. We find this is neutral so if in doubt it's a good point of safety. Another safe bet is an off white mount with a black frame. This is great for more graphic style pictures with strong black lines. A  bold look can be achieved with a black mount and black frame. It really makes to the painting "ping". This can be stunning with the right painting but may not be to everyone's taste. 

At the moment the trend is to have a collection of different frames in a room, perhaps in varied sizes, colours and type of wood, so really you can't go too far wrong whichever you choose.
