When matting pictures, the general rules are to ensure the mat complements the artwork without overpowering it and to create a balanced visual presentation. Typically, the mat should be wider at the bottom to provide visual weight and stability, often referred to as a "bottom-weighted" mat. Additionally, using archival, acid-free materials helps protect the artwork from damage over time.
