The Perfect Picture Frame For Your Home Has 3 Elements To Make Your Art Stand Out

What is the perfect picture frame? When it comes to designing your new frame for your home a lot comes down to personal taste, just like the art you choose for your walls. But there are 3 important elements to remember to really make your art stand out when you design your picture frame with your local framer.

Choose a frame that works with your art: Look at color, texture and overall style of your art and see if you want to pick up any of those features in the frame or if you’d rather go with something neutral or opposite of that.

Include mats that create first of all space for your art but also you can pick up colors of your photo, paintings or whatever you want to frame. You can even add a contrast or drama to your frame design.

You can think in terms of a classic frame design with ornate frames or a contemporary frame design that uses simpler, sleek frames that emphasize a bold look or an understatement.

As you can see there is no easy answer what makes a perfect picture frame, but we hope these simple guidelines give you an idea of what to look for when you first start your creative process at the frame shop.
