A large photo collection is something to celebrate. It is a treasure trove of memories, from big events to vacation adventures to days spent at home with loved ones. If you have a significant collection, consider scheduling custom picture framing services. Below are reasons to move forward with this personal project. 

Why Should I Have My Photo Collection Custom-Framed? 

1. Photo Preservation 

Custom picture framing services use top-quality materials to preserve your photos for decades. Framers utilize acid-free paper and matting that won’t cause photo discoloration or premature deterioration. They also refrain from using plastic or resin picture frames that typically feature high acid content and work with acid-free natural wood or metal frames instead. Your photos are also framed without force or cutting, which means each image remains fully intact. 

2. Unique Decor

Custom frames that match or complement the colors in the photographs and surrounding wall decor contribute to your home’s unique appearance and feel. Such frames turn the photos into stunning pieces of original art, such as sleek metal frames that complement a minimalism-themed living room or dark wood frames that match an old world-style home office and study. No matter what your aesthetic preferences are, the local custom picture framing company helps you realize your creative vision and subsequently get more from your residence. 

3. Beautiful Reminders of Great Times

Rather than storing your photos in stacks of albums that collect dust on shelves, display your collections with custom frames. You’ll enjoy visual reminders of beautiful times with your loved ones, such as a collage of an epic hiking trip in the living room or a variety of black-and-white photos from your wedding in the dining room or den. Such visual cues contribute to a healthy memory and remind you to smile every day. They also provide talking points when you host friends and extended family members, which can easily result in shared stories and plenty of laughs.
