Picture Framing Tips For Decorating The Interiors Of Your House

The picture frames or photo frames are used as a decorative edging for a picture or an artwork which helps in preserving the picture for a long time by protecting it from various outward particles and dust. According to some picture framing professionals, a frame should not just be used just to fill a space on the wall, it should showcase the image or the artwork by accentuating the color, style and look of the picture so that it looks eye-catching when placed on a wall. Nowadays, many people use picture frames for enhancing the interiors of their house, some tips in using them as decorating items for the houses are as follows:


If you would want to place the frames in your office then choose frames which are flat and plain and if you would want to add a rich style to your room, then stick to gold or silver frames with heavy details. This will add royalty to your room.

Some people love villages so they opt for tribal looks for their interiors so in that case if you would want to select a frame, choose a frame which has a dark wood tone which looks shabby and old.
Frames which has a white wash or pale gold frames are best if you are going for a French shabby look for your room.

If you would want to base the look of your room on the lines of the beaches, opt for natural shabby timber frames with light colors.

Select a non-reflective glass for your frame if your room has a lot many windows as because if there is sunlight coming through the windows there will be no annoying reflection on the glass of the picture which will ensure visibility of the picture from all viewing points in the room.
For presenting your picture or image classically, the best color to go with is white and black along with a black or white matt board.

You can tone down a very brighter color on your artwork by adding a very contrasting matt board by identifying the color that is minimal on the image and bring it out by matching the matt board to that minimal color.

In the same way, if you would want to brighten up a dark image of yours for accentuating the highlights in the image then select two matt boards, the top one being the darker one and the second being the lighter.

If you find that the wall on which you would want to place your artwork is too small for the image then you can increase the size of the mat board on the image as it will make your picture appear big on the wall.


In terms of the matt board which is one of the most important components of a picture frame, consider the color in the background of the image so as to create a complimentary contrast to the background and make sure that the width of the matt board is greater than that of the frame so that the frame does not overcrowd the art.

You should keep in mind the above-mentioned tips while decorating the interiors of your house with picture frames and make sure that the image is at eye-level of yours so for such purposes, consult a professional.
