So have some fun with this idea. When you frame children’s art, it can be an opportunity to be free and silly with color and frame choices. This can also be a great DIY custom framing project that the family can do together. Involve them in the process. Let them measure their art and choose their mats and frames. They will feel even more special.
Choosing
a simple black frame with a white mat ensures that any kind or color of artwork
will look great! Look at how perfect this piece looks coordinated with the
children’s craft area.
Art
with jagged edges can be floated on colorful mat boards. (See how the top piece
here is treated?)
Not
all work has to be treated playfully. This Raven was given a sophisticated
finish and looks elegant in an entryway.
Also
try using neutral frames with fun colored mats. This allows for the easy
changing of artwork in and out of the frames over the years. Match the mat board
to the colors in the artwork for a fun twist on a standard framing treatment.
Keeping the frames neutral ensures that the framing treatment won’t become too
busy, perhaps better complementing the home’s existing décor.
Ultimately,
as with all custom framing, the design decisions are in your hands. Choose
whatever style and color of framing materials that you and your children will
love and admire! Whether they be neutral frames with colorful mats, or colorful
frames with neutral mats or a mix of both, young artists will be sure to love
seeing their creations hung on the walls. As they grow and become more
skillful, who knows what they will be create for you in the years to come?
