bringing old art into newly designed spaces

As an interior designer, I can tell you that the key to any good design is to make the space feel like it belongs to the individual living in it. One of the best ways to do this is by incorporating personal touches like artwork into the design. But what about those old pieces of art you've had for years? How can you incorporate them into your new space without it looking like a hodgepodge of styles and colors? The answer lies in reframing.

Reframing your old art can give it new life and make it feel like it belongs in your updated space. When deciding on a frame for your piece, consider the style and colors of your new space. If you're going for a modern and eclectic look, don't be afraid to choose a bold frame that will make a statement. If you're going for a more classic look, opt for a more traditional frame.

When it comes to choosing a framing shop, do your research. Look for shops that specialize in custom framing and have a wide selection of frames to choose from. Ask for recommendations from friends or family members who have had artwork framed in the past.

As far as cost goes, framing can be expensive, but it doesn't have to break the bank. Set a budget for yourself and stick to it. Don't be afraid to ask for discounts or promotions that the framing shop may be running. (Michaels will have sales from time to time so I have definitely waited until they were running one to purchase.)

Incorporating your old art into your new space can be a fun and rewarding project. It allows you to keep a piece of your past while also updating your space to reflect your current style and personality. So go ahead, reframe that old piece of art and give it new life in your modern and eclectic space.
