Selecting The Right Large Picture Frames For Your Artwork


The best moments of our lives are often captured in the form of a photograph, which deserves to be displayed in a visible way. What’s best than our Picture Framing service. At Mahoneys Framing, we can custom frame large picture frames of up to 2.5×2.5m. We also have a range of large picture frames in readymade sizes, making the process even quicker and easier. Most people who are trying to frame large pictures can find the process difficult because most stores only offer frames up to certain sizes. At Mahoneys, we have framed a large variety of sizes and objects, so we are sure to meet your specific needs.

Large picture frames are often used for artworks, panoramic photography or custom objects, such as tapestry. Framing large pictures can make a dramatic statement and create a memorable piece.

Selecting Large Picture Frames For Your Artwork
First of all, start by thinking about whether the moulding will match the colour and style of your image. For large pictures, we suggest going for a simple and sleek frame. This is because having a large frame as well as a large artwork could be overwhelming. We would also suggest using a narrower mat or framing the artwork all the way to the frame’s edge to completely cover the mat. In some cases, a mat can still work well with larger pieces, but often it can make the piece feel too overpowering and enclosing.

Hanging Large Picture Frames
Hanging heavy pictures can often be the trickiest part of the whole framing process. We suggest getting a professional to hang your large picture for you, but if you decide to go ahead and do it yourself, we’ve compiled some handy tips for you.
It’s even more important with heavy artworks or pictures that you check your hanging method is suitable to your walls. For interior walls or drywalls, it’s important to find a stud where you can anchor the wall hook. To do this, simply knock on the different wall sections until you hear a section with more resonance and a dull thud. This means that there is a hollow space behind and the picture will be more securely hung in that section. If you have wooden walls, then use fasteners for higher holding power. If you have thin wooden walls, then we would suggest using toggles to spread out pressure behind the wall. You should always use screws instead of nails when hanging heavy pieces for greater support.
