How to Use the Nature & Landscape Collection in Your Shop
1. Enhance the Natural Tones of Landscape Art
The key to successful landscape framing is choosing matboards that feel like an extension of the artwork itself. This collection features a range of earthy tones and soft neutrals that complement various natural scenes:
Deep greens for lush forests, rolling hills, and botanical prints.
Warm browns for desert landscapes, rustic scenery, and sepia-toned artwork.
Soft blues for ocean views, open skies, and tranquil lakes.
Neutral taupes for rocky cliffs, mountain ranges, and minimalist compositions.
By using tones that naturally exist in the landscape, framers can ensure a seamless transition between the artwork and the surrounding frame.
2. Offer a Thoughtfully Curated Framing Solution
The Nature & Landscape Collection comes with suggested moulding pairings, making it easier to guide clients toward a fully cohesive frame package.
