Custom framing can be costly, with many shops attempting to preserve your art for generations. However, in many cases, you don’t need your art to last that long—you may just want some creative decor to spruce up your space.

Blue Fox Industries of Monroe, North Carolina, has become known as the area’s premier framing company. For over 20 years, they’ve provided everything from canvas printing to plaque mounting, as well as an extensive variety of custom frames to suit any art lover’s style.

With so many options, these experts are here to explain why custom framing doesn’t have to break your budget:

• Think Reasonably: Why did you purchase your art piece? If it’s a one-of-a-kind, expensive work, you might consider investing in a top-quality frame. If you’re using affordable art to fill up wall space and decorate an apartment, pricey custom frames are unnecessary. Consider the reasoning behind your purchase in advance so as not to overspend. 
• Consider The Art’s Value: Think about the value of the art you’re framing. With so many cheap prints and copies available online, it’s easy to access your favorite masterpiece. Not only is art more affordable to purchase, but it also loses its value faster over time. Original gallery pieces are perfect for high-grade custom frames, but these pieces are either unaffordable or unavailable to the average buyer. Spending an exorbitant amount of money to frame cheap art is wasteful, as the frame will likely cost more than the piece itself. 
• Use Common Sense: With value in mind, take the cost of custom framing seriously. A frame should never amount to more than the art itself. After all, you might redecorate in a year and haul that prized piece off to your local Goodwill. A frame is an adornment that should compliment your art, not overwhelm it. Affordable options are available for every size and shape, so use common sense and choose appropriately.
