In modern framing larger mounts are often used. Uncluttered space around the image allows the eye to focus easily on the art and gives a feeling of greater value to the finished piece. With a light coloured mount Lighter colours in "top" mounts also give greater emphasis to the art. The mount colour should generally be brighter than the dominant colour in the image. With a dark coloured mount Darker colours in “top” mounts can be used to create a greater feeling of depth and dimensionality. Darker colours lead the eye directly into the centre of the mount. With No Mount Without a mount the image is cluttered by the frame. The same image looks much less important and less valuable. Choose your own individual design of mounts and enhance the impact and value of your framed image with the Artcare programme offering over 160 surface designs. Different colours, tones and shades are complimented with metallic, speckle and special effect finishes plus deep bevel and coloured core mounts. And with Artcare all these finishes are fade and bleed resistant so that you keep the colour you choose.
