The same goes for a red frame and a red mat.
How to choose mat and frame for art.
While it may be tempting to use the same color the likelihood of the mat and frame matching perfectly is pretty slim.
If you re choosing a brown frame you probably don t want to use a brown mat.
Follow these guidelines and become a master of color coordination.
All you need to do is buy a frame in the next size or two up then cut a mat board to fit the frame with a window to showcase the art.
Instead of the artwork jutting right up to the frame a mat provides a border of whitespace.
Mats create visual space for the artwork to breathe.
With so many framing styles available we understand that choosing the right frame and mat combo for your art can be confusing.
Choosing your own mat and frame allows you to incorporate your own artistic flare and decorative taste into a unique and personal wall piece.
Matching your frame and mat is rarely a good option.
