M ost people get a little stressed out at the thought of choosing colours for their custom picture framing project.

It’s the single biggest point of indecision our clients have: they’re unsure of “The Rules”…!

• Should the colours match exactly?
• Or should the colours just compliment?
• Wait, or should the colours match more to the piece or to the environment it’s hanging in?!
• Etc, Etc, Etc.

Technical framing expertise is only half of the equation; a good picture framer should also be able to help you design-wise.

But choosing colour doesn’t come naturally to everyone, and just because someone’s decided to hang an “I’m a picture framer” shingle or go to work for a “big box” picture framing retailer, that doesn’t automatically make them experts in taste!  🙂
