Mat Border Widths

Did you know that mat borders do more than add color around your
art? The original intent of mats was two fold. First was to create a space so the glass wouldn’t come in contact with the art and second was to provide a field of visual relief that prevented the frame from crowding the art and to set the art apart from the rest of the room decor to easily focus on it without distraction. Those concepts are still important today, so keep them in mind. Generously proportioned mat borders will help present your art, making it look its best.
