When it comes to picture framing Dublin has many retailers and specialists providing this service. However, choosing just the right frame is important for the best end result. Often, the picture or photograph that you’re framing will determine the frame; you may want family portraits in a more decorative frame, perhaps silver or gold in colour, while certificates and diplomas typically look better in something plainer and more stylish. A contemporary metal or plastic frame is probably better for a modern piece of art. A really ornate and elaborate frame tends to draw attention to the frame itself, rather than what is in it, while the eyes are drawn to a picture that’s in a beveled or sloping frame. Professional framing can look great and last for many years, although to economize you can always buy an old picture and use the frame for something else.
