Picture Frames with Mats

Use Picture Frames with Mats to Display Artwork and Photographs

Decorators prefer using picture frames with mats to display images about the room, whether it be on the wall or on tabletops. Using matted frames has both practical and aesthetic implications that make it a desireable way to display graphics. Mats are a slim material inserted into a picture frame to create a thick border around the primary object, essentially creating a wider frame. This extra border has decorative qualities, in that it draws the viewers focus onto the center of the intended visual. Matted frames often have slight inscriptions, carved angles and other decorations to complement the piece on display. The mats also help to protect the photo or drawing by separating the glass from the art and shielding it from condensation or other damage.
