Tips for Storing Paintings

Need a change? Are you thinking of taking down your current paintings and putting up other artworks for a change of decor? If you are, remember that heat and humidity are your worst enemies when it comes to paintings. As such, it would be wise to store them properly.

Make sure that you have cardboard pieces the same size as your paintings and place it on the front and back of each painting. Wrap the paintings in acid-free paper and store them vertically. If you think that you won't need the paintings for quite a while, have them professionally stored by storage firms specializing in paintings.
