When cleaning your framed picture, don’t spray cleaner directly on the glass. The excess can wick under the frame and cause damage to your work.

Use only an ammonia-free glass cleaner. This is especially important if you have Anti-Reflective glass such as museum glass.  A new recommended glass cleaner is 50% water, 50% isopropyl alcohol.  Simply spray the mixture on a towel and wipe the glass.

Custom Framing can transform your walls.  Artwork brings a room alive complimenting your furnishing, your lifestyle and your home.

In the past, artwork was always framed for the art.  A new trend in framing  is to also consider the style of a room, color scheme, lighting and scale of the furniture.  A simple white mat and thin frame may be appropriate in a grouping of art or photography but will be out of scale and not offer enough visual weight above a large over stuffed couch.

Designers at Downeast Art & Framing can help give great design advice for the best way to present your art and transform your living or office space.
