The article discusses the clash between two individuals living together, where one partner, a writer, seeks to frame their art collection beautifully, while the other, a designer, prioritizes budget-friendly options. The writer values the aesthetic and longevity of custom framing, believing it elevates their art pieces. Raf, despite having design skills and access to carpenters, insists on inexpensive frames from Ikea, leading to tensions. Their different approaches to home decor reflect broader priorities, highlighting the importance of aesthetics in a shared living space.
But those frames won't fit my art properly and are also limited in style. Custom frames elevate your art and make it look more expensive.
I am looking after the smaller pieces of decor in our flat, while Raf is very handy with making and upcycling furniture that we find in markets.
Raf has this huge block when it comes to spending money on framing art, despite the fact that we don't struggle financially.
I’ve been collecting pieces on my travels for years, including paintings from Vietnam and street art from Brazil.
