Choosing the right custom frame for photographs, paintings, and other flat objects can be overwhelming. They come in various sizes and require your due diligence to select the one that suits your space's aesthetic appeal.
This becomes even more challenging when you want to pick something for an enormous canvas or wall-sized paintings. We say this because framing large artworks or massive cameos needs you to take specific considerations into account. These considerations are not as crucial for compact pieces as they are for massive paintings.
This makes it crucial to take a different approach when framing oversize prints and paintings instead of modestly-sized artworks.

Why Consider Framing Option is Important for Large Artworks
When framing your extra-large or enormous artwork, you must consider giving the frame some additional rigidity and strength. At Universal Arquati, we ensure that you receive the most appropriate and solid custom frames that are built to last.
We recommend the frame's width and length based on the artwork's size. We work with in-house framing experts to give you helpful advice on choosing the best custom picture frames before we handcraft them for you. Keep in mind that the right type of frame plays a crucial role in protecting your artwork. The right frame keeps your massive artwork from structural warping.
As glare and reflection are more noticeable on a massive surface, consider opting for non-glare custom frames such as matte black or natural wood. The custom picture frames have a unique contemporary aesthetic. These frames come with impeccably bold and subtle moulding; wood frames are a more realistic option with tons of traditional designs and grain apparent.
Both are non-glare options with a matte finish that diffuses light to diminish reflections from light sources and surroundings. They also come with an anti-reflective coating to enhance the artwork's look and protect it from UV rays that can fade over time. Moreover, the custom frames are supremely scratch-resistant and anti-static, making them easy to clean over the years.
What to Consider when Choosing Custom Picture Frame For Large Artworks
As mentioned earlier, large artworks require custom framing with a wider profile. However, it is different for the smaller frames. It is primarily vital to maintaining a visual balance and making the art piece more aesthetically appealing. A-frame with a wider profile complements the art piece without overwhelming the design.
For instance, if you want to frame a piece with a 25" by 35" dimension, our framing experts recommend using a frame profile of 20"-1.5" wide. Our professional framers can even work with art pieces that are massive as fifty feet across. We help our clients pick robust moldings that work best with picture framing and complement the painting and the whole space you display it in.
Another essential factor you must consider when selecting a frame is "mounting of the artwork." Unlike more miniature artworks that look good with wider mount, it doesn't go well with large paintings. For considerably large pieces, framing professionals at Universal Arquati go for "no mat" or "thin mat."
The glass acrylic covering over the art piece needs to be sturdy and thick enough to protect it. The non-reflective covering accommodates the weight and size of colossal art pieces. You might have seen large paintings on thick and huge canvases. It is because glass framing is thin, light, and prone to breaking. Note that it doesn't apply to print pieces.
That's the reason why you should consider large pieces getting professionally framed instead of going for a DIY approach.
