Whether you choose your home\u2019s artwork with painstaking precision or impulsively decide on a quick d\u00e9cor fix, we often fail to think about how our choices will fare over time. Exposure to sunlight, humidity, and heat \u2013 not to mention everyday dust \u2013 can slowly damage your favorite framed artwork before you even begin to notice.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let common mistakes ruin your favorite artwork or beautiful frames. A few simple precautions can ensure their quality and safety for years to come:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. <\/u> Framed art near an exterior door exposes it to wide variations of light and humidity, which can lead to fading and brittleness. Avoid exterior placements if possible.<\/strong> Always have your artwork covered with high-quality protectant glass (or glazing) to protect against everyday light exposure. Also avoid hanging artwork in bathrooms or laundry rooms. <\/strong>Steam and humidity can damage your art and frames over time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. <\/u> Two hooks are better than one nail \u2013 and D-rings are a hook\u2019s best friend. Keep in mind the weight of your art as well as the stability of the wall<\/strong> (if you\u2019re earthquake-prone, for example, you\u2019ll likely need and additional attachment) when securing your artwork. Pay attention to weight and attachment requirements \u2013 as well as the structure of your walls \u2013 when purchasing your hanging hardware.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. <\/u> Even if you\u2019re careful, glass cleaning fluids can seep under frame corners and damage mats, or worse, the art itself. Don\u2019t ever use a household or commercial cleaner on frame glass. <\/strong>Instead, mix rubbing alcohol with water and gently dampen a cloth to wipe glass \u2013 don\u2019t spray. Also never, ever use water, furniture polish, or cleaning fluids to clean your frames.<\/strong> The moisture and chemicals could damage a frame\u2019s delicate finish or coating. Instead dust the frame with a soft dry cleaning brush, or use a gentle spritz of pressurized air to remove debris from frame details.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. <\/u> Never EVER store extra art or frames in a basement, attic, or garage.<\/strong> The temperature and humidity fluctuations in these types of rooms can quickly lead to severe damage. Instead, lean artwork in an unused interior closet or guest room, separated by acid-free boards and covered with a dust cloth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Taking just a few simple, but important, steps to properly care for your artwork can ensure its beauty and safety for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whether you choose your home\u2019s artwork with painstaking precision or impulsively decide on a quick d\u00e9cor fix, we often fail to think about how our choices will fare over time.
