Some of the best moments in your life have been captured in pictures.
The best way to celebrate them is to display them in a picture frame you can hang on your wall. Picture frames are more than containers; they are also decorative items. That is why you should take your time when choosing the picture frames for your home.
You want your picture frames to harmonize with the other furnishings in your house. You want them to enhance the general atmosphere and appearance of whichever room you put them in. You must consider design, style, material, and other features of the frame before you buy it.
Here are some of the most important features to consider in a picture frame. The list is not exhaustive, but it will serve as enough of a guide to help you make the right choice.
Picture frames come in two basic categories: tabletop and wall frames. You should look at the layout and design of your home interior before you choose. If you only have a few side tables and bookshelves, and those are already filled with stuff, then it is probably best to go with wall frames. If you have more than enough surface space in your home, then you should consider going with a mixture of wall and tabletop frames.
One of the first things you must do is measure the dimensions of the pictures you want to hang. This will help you choose the right size frame. Some of the standard sizes for picture frames include: 8x10, 12x16, 12x18, 16x20, and 18x24. If you do not buy the right size frame, then your picture will not fit, or it will look really odd in it.
You should think first of the interior design of your house, and then of the picture frame that will be the best match for it. Not the other way around. If, for example, you have a modern or contemporary interior décor, then you may want to consider a black frame of a frame with a neutral color. If, on the other hand, your house has a more traditional interior, then you should go with wooden picture frames. The bottom line is that you choose a picture frame that will enhance the look of your interior.
Some pictures simply do not go with certain frames. A fading black and white photo of a long deceased and venerated ancestor, for example, does not go well with a funky experimental frame. You should put this kind of picture in a frame that will bring out the dignity of the person and the respect you wish to show them. Career-related photos and graduation pictures are best put into a sleek black frame. You get the idea.
It is better to choose material that is sturdy. Wooden and metallic frames are the best kinds of materials. They will withstand years of wear and tear. Fiber and plastic frames look cheap and are too flimsy to last more than a few years.
You should also consider the moulding. Glaze moulding, Maison moulding, Oakwood moulding, Metropolis moulding, and Vogue moulding are some of the many types you have to choose from. The moulding you choose should suit the mood and atmosphere of the room you intend to put the picture in.
You will want different types of picture frames for different kinds of pictures. Here are some of the types you have to choose from:
Some of your best photos are too small to put in a frame on their own. Buying a collage photo frame can help you display and celebrate the important moments and people in your life that you have captured in miniature pictures.
If you like old styles and fashions, then you might want to consider vintage picture frames. These can be found in many retail stores, not just antique shops. These picture frames are most appropriate for old black and white photos of friends and relatives who are deceased.
If you have a cottage or a cottage-style home in the city, then you should consider rustic picture frames. They will more easily complement the interior of your house. They will harmonize with any other rustic furniture that you have in the house.
To get the right picture frames, you should go through a selection process. In addition to the features mentioned above, you want to consider the following critical factors when choosing your picture frames:
A brand is a promise. It is a guarantee that a company makes to its customer about the quality of its products. A manufacturer earns the trust of their customers when they have lived up to what they promised. If you are someone who demands only the best, then you should buy a brand name picture frame.
If you intend to be in your home for a long time to come, then you want to purchase picture frames that will last for the duration. If you rent or are in temporary accommodation, then the durability of the picture frame may not be as important to you.
It is right to be concerned about the cost of the picture frames, especially if you are on a budget. You can get great deals on high-quality picture frames, so you should not feel pressured into buying something more expensive.
You need some assurance that you can return the picture frame if it has defects. You should not purchase a picture frame with a solid warranty.
Picture frames form part of the decorations in your home. You should select them based on their structural and aesthetic qualities. You want picture frame that you can be proud of and pleased with. You will know them when you see them.
