Beautiful interiors need beautiful art, yet this is an aspect of design that is often treated as a separate, and less important, issue.

But consider this: your superb boutique hotel or top class restaurant can have art that complements the décor, enhances the architecture, highlights different areas, and creates atmosphere. By using colour, shape, size, and choice of image, art can add another dimension to your interior space.

So where do you go to source such highly specified artwork? Image Shed is a thriving company that produces extremely high specification, digitally printed artworks. Launching their new website, Image Shed are presenting a gallery of over 1000 exclusive images, a total art service, special Express service, and an exciting range of substrates including canvas, acrylic and glass.

Indeed, Image Shed is one of the few companies in the UK to offer printed laminated glass: a stunning material that can be used structurally to create soaringly beautiful installations. When expertly lit, glass artwork can almost seem holographic, suspending images in mid-air to hang shimmering in space.

For smart canvas artwork, this more traditional technique has been brought bang up to date with the use of 21st Century technology: lightfast inks and cutting edge digital print techniques. Acrylic is a versatile substrate that can be wall hung – creating 3-D silhouetting effects when correctly lit – or used for non opaque screening, maintaining that feeling of space while also creating room divisions.

Image Shed has done work for a wide range of companies, from exquisite boutique hotels, to the national restaurant chain Pizza Hut. Director Lucy Grafham says: “because we approach each project as a unique case, we can offer personal attention, perfectly tailored artwork and professional service to every client, big or small.”

Corporate art is about to get a whole lot more exciting, and Image Shed is leading the way.

Many people believe that when they choose a frame for an art print, they should pick one that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. While aesthetics is important, many overlook the true reason for framing an art piece – protection. A well chosen frame will not only enhance the art work and make it look good; it will also protect the material and increase its lifespan for the years to come.

A beautiful art piece, when left unprotected, can sustain unsightly damage over time, and become an eyesore in your home.

Here are some of the more common damages to your art print:

A decorative art print, when simply stuck on the wall without any form of framing, could start to show damage in as little as a few weeks. The material could tear along the corners or edges. This is because the print has been in a rolled up state for most of its life – when it was in the merchant store before you bought it. When you try to spread the print open to stick on the wall, the paper is still trying to roll into itself. The adhesive tape that you’ll probably use will not be strong enough to prevent the print from creasing in on itself, thus causing the tears.

The other concern you should be worried about is fading or discoloring. If an unprotected art print is exposed to the elements like direct sunlight, the ultraviolet effects could cause the paper to discolor and become brittle, thus tearing easily. Over time, dust and moisture in the air will also cause a great deal of damage to the print.

Here are some things you should do to prevent damage to your art print.

Choose a professional framing service to frame your art print. Note that some framing materials contain acids that may cause damage to the art piece, so make sure the frame shop provides acid free backings, mats and mounting materials so that damage to your art print is avoided. Choose a UV filtering glass to give the art work extra protection from ultraviolet light. Make sure to use proper hanging materials to mount your art on the wall. Never display your art piece in direct sunlight or near a heat source. UV light, as mentioned, will certainly cause fading and discoloring of your art print.

Maintain your art piece regularly by cleaning it with a soft and damp cloth. Never spray cleaning fluid directly on the glass. The fluid may seep in and cause damage. Get rid of the dust and clean the glass to remove any stains like grease or fingerprints. A simple decision in framing will certainly go a long way in preserving the life of your art print. It truly is a small investment for a lifelong return.

Happy framing!
