Imagine: the holiday season is over, you take down your holiday artwork and place it in your basement or attic safely until next year. Or is it safe? What temperature is best to store artwork?<\/p>\n
To illustrate, let’s break it down:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Right off the bat, the optimal temperature for storing framed artwork is generally between 65\u00b0F to 75\u00b0F (18\u00b0C to 24\u00b0C).<\/p>\n (for example: 65\u00b0F degrees like the temperature of what you wish your house was in the summer to 75\u00b0F what you wish it was in the winter.)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n It’s important to avoid extreme temperatures and fluctuations, as they can cause damage to the artwork over time. But what if you only have storage space in your cold basement? Or just your attic? Here’s our recommendation:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Ultimately, use the tips above such as storing up off the ground, placed between two foam boards or plywood wrapped in plastic that isn’t airtight. Closets in rooms like the two below are ideal storage spaces. They are closed off from sunlight and climate is steady. Additionally, make sure objects stored next to your artwork won’t accidentally fall on top or lean on your art to avoid scratches and dents.<\/p>\nThe Best Temperature Range<\/h3>\n
