Frames are versatile decorative tools that can enhance any home interior. The right choice of wooden frames can add an interesting look to different areas inside your living space, whether it be your bedroom or your bathroom, the kitchen, office, or elsewhere. Knowing what you should look for in a picture frame will help make your search a lot easier, especially when looking at countless options online. Familiarizing yourself with the qualities to look for in different framing components is one way to make sure that you are getting the right type of picture frame for the photos and artworks you wish to display.

  • The actual frame – One of the first things you should decide upon is whether to get a wooden photo frame, a metal piece or something else that would accommodate your artwork/photograph well. Metal and wood are popular, high-quality choices. Wooden frames, on the other hand, allow for a warmer, more traditional, and more inviting look, making them ideal for classic paintings, heirloom pieces, and photographs with rich colours. Just the same, nothing is set in stone when it comes to selecting a frame material that will best complement your decorative pieces. Strike a balance between the ambient feel of your room, how the frame relates to the space, and the overall look you wish to achieve for your display.
  • Glazing – The type of glass you should choose should not only enhance the beauty of your display piece, but work to protect the very contents of the frame. The type of glazing you choose will affect greatly how the artwork will look and how well it will age. A standard glaze will do for average framing requirements, while anti-glare glazing reduces glare from natural light or light bulbs. Anti-UV glazing is a good choice for displays that are directly exposed to UV rays, enabling a high degree of protection for your artwork. This is important if you want to preserve the beauty of your shots and art pieces for a long time.
  • Mat boards – Your choice of mat board is also significant to the look of your display piece. A mat board is a coloured material (paper, board, fabric, etc.) placed between your artwork and the frame glass. This mainly creates an air space between the artwork and the glass so that they don't stick together over time. Matting also creates an attractive border between the artwork and the actual frame so that viewers' eyes are drawn inward, toward your masterpiece. Mat boards have great decorative value, especially when it comes to creating display pieces.
