02 What's Next?

It may seem obvious, but you need to make the right decision about what to frame and what you plan to do with it after it is framed. If you are in the process of decorating a particular room, it would be best to have a theme before picking out the art, as well as a palette of colors that will coordinate or complement the room.

Color schemes and a particular style will help tie everything together and make your framing job a lot easier. You will now be able to select art, colors and framing that will be at home with the room. A more formal room will require the selection of more formal-looking art pieces and framing approaches. You will therefore take a more symmetrical approach to the placement and arrangement of the art when you hang it. A more casual room setting can accommodate more colorful art and framing styles that can be hung in more unusual and exciting groups.
