By Lindsay Bowen


You've finally captured your amazing moment on camera. Great! Now you want to have it framed, and you go out to look for your amazing picture frame. It doesn't take long before you realize this may be a little harder than you thought! There are so many sizes, colors, vintage picture frames, modern picture frames. Where do you start? Well there are many options out there it isn't hard to find yourself a little lost. Here are a few tips to help you choose your next picture frame.

Matching the frame to the room is an important aspect in choosing a picture frame. If you are not careful, you can easily ruin the effect of a picture by placing it in a picture frame that clashes with the room it is hanging in. Consider the colors and theme of the room before you start shopping for your picture frame. This detail alone can make your picture frame choice a little easier.

When selecting a picture frame, make sure it compliments your picture. Bright, colorful pictures go well with bold, darker picture frames. On the contrary, simple pictures should be paired with more simply designed picture frames so they do not overpower the picture they frame. You want a picture frame that will highlight the details of your picture and let the image be the focus of attention.

An important part of choosing a picture frame that compliments the picture is ensuring you choose a perfectly sized frame. Not only are there standard picture frame sizes, each frame has it's own way the picture 'fits' inside the frame. For example, you don't want an overly large picture frame for a small picture. Not only will it not look right, it will actually make the picture seem even smaller than it is. Knowing your picture dimensions will be a big help when you select your picture frame.

You'll want to choose a frame to go along with you picture's occasion. If you have the perfect picture of your child's birthday, it will make more sense to find a picture frame that has a picture of a birthday cake on it or one with candles on it. You could also have a simple picture frame for this occasion as well, but you wouldn't want to use a picture frame with a graduation theme. Just be smart when picking your frame with occasion themes!

When it is all said and done, there are many picture frames to frame your beautiful pictures. The art of choosing the right picture frame is something you can quickly master by following the rules above. I recommend getting online and searching for picture frames using your favorite search engine. You will be able to find thousands of picture frames, and ultimately, find the right picture frames for your photographic memories!
