Elevate Your Space with Custom Art Framing: Introducing Red as a Neutral
Custom art framing not only elevates your art but also can transform your space, creating unique interest through simple design concepts such as color and proportion. Today, we’re introducing a bold and unconventional idea: using red as a neutral in your next installation.
Traditionally, neutral colors in design include whites, greys, taupes, and in framing, metal tones and blacks. These colors play a supporting role, enhancing the overall look and feel of the art and its surroundings while not drawing attention to themselves. Now, let's rethink this with red.
Red is typically used to attract attention, but it’s a well-kept secret among artists that primary red can also serve as a neutral. It provides structure and an unexpected ‘Wow’ factor that can harmonize various types of art and decor. Without blue or yellow undertones, pure red complements all other colors. Just as oil painters often underpaint in red to make their paintings luminous and warm, adding depth and cohesiveness, you can apply this concept to frame design.
By using red as a neutral, you can create a striking yet harmonious backdrop that enhances your art and create a unique environment for everything in and around it.
The use of the red frames with the large white mat boards and black and white images is highly sophisticated.
Red frames add a pop of fun to concert posters.
