Indeed, the rear of a photo frame may be just as interesting as the front. There are a variety of uses for it. It serves two purposes: as a picture hanger and as an ornament for the frame's front. This is why it's important to learn the correct terminology for the frame's reverse side before making a purchase.
Moulding
There are a variety of methods for attaching moulding to the rear of a picture frame. Painting the molding is one solution. Using glue is another option. Whichever you choose, the space will look great.
To paint the trim, use a 2 sash paintbrush. Painting the wall beneath the trim will be a breeze.
The length of the frame may be determined by first measuring the baseboard and the spacer. After that, a measurement of the trim's outside face must be taken. You might need to get longer strips or a bigger piece depending on your exact specifications.
The number of cuts you'll need from the strip is another factor to think about. Think about the overall frame side lengths as well.
Backing
There are a number of parts that go into constructing a picture frame's back. The artwork, the backing board, and the mat or mount are the typical components. Know these specifications if you're in the market for a new frame.
In order to shield the artwork from environmental damage and insect infestation, it is backed with a backing board made of paper or foam board. In addition to providing a safe place to hang the artwork, this method guards it from deterioration over time.
As you look at a photo frame, you'll probably notice the brown backing board. This not only keeps the image dust-free but also gives it more stability. Brown papers are great for soaking up liquids.
Hinge-mounted backer boards prevent the artwork's back from wriggling about. Framer's tabs are the common name for these sorts of hinges. Several sizes and forms can be purchased.
Hangers
Hanging a picture requires special hardware called a picture hanger. It's made so that it won't leave any scratches on the wall and stays put if it accidentally falls.
Picture hangers come in a few distinct varieties. Hook-and-nail fasteners are by far the most prevalent. The hooks on these hangers are little metal ones, and they are affixed to the wall with nails.
The sawtooth hanger is another popular option. This is a thin metal bracket that goes across the back of a picture or mirror frame.
Consider the weight of the picture while deciding on the best picture hanger. Hang it using a sturdy hanger if it's a hefty one. Picture frame size is another factor to think about. Larger frames are more challenging to hang than smaller ones.
Stretched Canvas for Display
Photos look great when printed on gallery-wrapped canvas. They're reasonably priced and convenient, as they don't need a frame to be hung. This is a wonderful accessory for any room in the house. Size and depth options are flexible. Gallery wraps are a great way to achieve any desired aesthetic, whether you're sprucing up a wall for a wedding or not.
The quality of canvas has risen substantially in the twenty-first century. Images now have more lifelike colors because to advancements in printing technology and the reduction of paper weight. A glare-free viewing experience is now possible thanks to the new matte coating.
If you're thinking about getting a gallery-wrapped print, it's important to have a photo that goes well with the decor. It's important that your image has a good quality in order to produce a clear print.
