Whether you’re getting a photo framed for the first time or are a seasoned professional with custom framing, it’s important to know what to look for. It can be overwhelming to browse through a stock as large as ours to find the perfect picture frames for a space.

 

The first step in framing your art or photos is to determine your style. Once you know your style, it will be easier to choose a shape that suits you.

 

Classic or rural

It’s elegant and timeless, with inspiration stretching back to the 18th century. Some of the most important elements of traditional style are the colors, fabrics and accessories. There is great attention to detail from floor to ceiling. The shades are usually neutral, but light and dark shades can be processed flawlessly. Fabrics usually include flowers, small all-over patterns, muted throws, and solid colors. Symmetry is also a defining element of traditional style.

 

Including photo frames in a traditional room is easy. You could make a statement with ornate frames. But you can also play it safe with rich, woody tones. With the right frames, you can enhance the comfortable feeling that a space with traditional style generates.

 

Modern

Contemporary style is one that doesn’t follow any rules. It borrows elements from other styles such as modernism, post-modernism and art deco. You’ll find lots of clean lines in a contemporary space, but unlike some other modern styles, contemporary design isn’t afraid to celebrate a bold starkness. That means there are a variety of color schemes to choose from. Contemporary interior designers are not afraid of black and white. It is not uncommon to see splashes of color from all over the color wheel. As long as the space is simple and uncluttered, there are no other real limits when it comes to contemporary style.

 

There are a few rules to adhere to when it comes to building in frames. In a contemporary space, solid colors are key. As long as the frame has a solid finish, you can use anything from ornate to minimal. That’s the beauty of a contemporary style!

 

Industrial

There’s no denying that Industrial interior design is the rawest decor theme out there today. It exposes all building materials that many other themes want to hide. From exposed pipes and channels to stainless steel support beams, there is a beauty in the unfinished aesthetic. Showing off the function of each element is what gives it its style. The combination of wood and metal looks natural in an industrial setting. It’s trendy enough to make a memorable commercial space yet warm and inviting to your home.

 

A great way to complement the industrial theme is with picture frames. Frames of worn and weathered wood match the polished metals perfectly. When it comes to colors, keep them warm and neutral. Gray also goes well with pipes and wooden elements in industrial spaces.

 

Scandinavian

Scandinavian interior design borrows elements from many different styles to help achieve the coziest aesthetic. It consists of the clean lines in modern design, the unfinished charm of industrial spaces and the simple color scheme of a minimalist décor. Put all that together and you have a space full of life. More is the key concept when it comes to Scandinavian aesthetics. More textures, more fabrics, more furniture, more decorations.

 

Adding art is a great way to keep your room fresh. From graphics to art prints, you have images that perfectly match your design theme. Keep your frames simple and neutral to make the art stand out. We have plenty of sleek minimal frames to help you achieve the look with ease!

 

Bohemian
