Firstly, look at the main tone of the photo, and secondly, at the design of the room.

How to choose

For blue and light gray tones, there is nothing better than silver photo frames.

For color photos, it is better to choose strict, discreet frames in pastel colors; it is advisable that they be matched to some element of the image.

For black and white photography, the optimal solution would be a white or gray frame.

How to choose a frame color

The color of the frame should be in harmony with the palette of the canvas, and not with furniture and other interior items.

As a rule, it is recommended to choose one tone darker or lighter than the general background.

Paintings in which the frame seems to be a continuation of the image look original.

What types of photo frames are there

Photo frames come in wall and tabletop varieties.

Wall mounted ones have fastenings so that the frame can be hung horizontally or vertically.

Tabletop ones are equipped with a support, thanks to which the frame can be placed on a table, shelf, or any surface.

There are also floor frames - they are so large that they do not fit on tables.

How to frame a photo

To secure the picture on a stretcher in the frame, use metal corners or large petals.

Bend down all the small petals built into the frame, intended for decorating paintings on cardboard.

Insert the painting on the stretcher into the frame.

Select appropriately sized corner mounts depending on the depth of the frame.
