  1. HOW TO SELECT A FRAME FOR YOUR ARTWORK To frame, or not to frame? This is a question that comes up frequently with our clients  here at ​Laasya Art​, usually after they have purchased a painting and are preparing to  hang it in their home. Many clients assume that framing is essential, but this is not  always the case. In fact, there are many instances in which a painting would be better  off without a frame.  If you are debating whether or not to frame your newest piece, here are a few of my  tried-and-true tips for framing artwork:  This colorful, meticulously detailed commission by artist Anuradha Thakur looks best without an added frame. ● First, framing is optional — you do not always have to frame! The only  exception is working on paper, such as drawings or limited edition screen  prints. Works on paper must always be framed to properly protect them  from warping and discoloration.   

  2. ● For paintings, if the sides of the canvas have not been painted, I would  recommend adding a frame. If the sides have been painted, however, a  frame is not a necessity but more of a stylistic choice.  This metal frame ties Sujata Achrekar’s painting into the earthy colors and intricate decor of this home.   ● If the overall aesthetic of your home is detailed and ornate, a frame can  help the painting fit in with the existing furniture and decor. On the other  hand, if the overall vibe of your home is more modern with strong, clean  lines, you may want to stay away from adding a frame and maintain a  more minimalistic look. You can first hang the painting without a frame  and see how that looks if you feel unsure that a frame would compliment  both the artwork and your home.    ● If the painting is on the smaller side, a frame can help the work make a  bigger visual impact. This is a particularly useful trick for clients who  want the painting to fill a certain wall or space.   

  3. This float frame adds a streamlined border to Anuradha Thakur’s vibrant painting. ● If a painting has a very elaborate image or texture — multiple mediums,  intricate handwork, or a mix of vibrant colors — I often recommend  leaving it unframed, as the frame will add yet another layer of complexity.  If you do want to add a frame, I recommend keeping it simple with a  ‘floating’ frame in a solid color.    ● When choosing a frame, it is important to remember that the painting is  the primary story. The frame’s role is to enhance the painting while  remaining in the background so to speak — the two should never  compete for attention.  Note: If you have more questions about living with art in the home, check out our best tips on art care​,​ or explore our collection of traditional and contemporary​​Indian art for sale​ to browse or buy online.
