Different Types Of Photo Frames

By Helen Carswell


The right photo frames can bring out the colors in a picture. Pick a framing that complements and accentuates the details of a picture. Next, choose the ones that go with the rest of the decor in a room. A picture framing can be made to stand out in any room by choosing the color and material carefully. There are several options when it comes to materials.

Wood framing are a preferred by many because they can be matched with almost anything. Many of these wooden borders are still handcrafted, which makes them extra special. Wood adds a touch of nature to any room. They are practical and decorative at the same time. Frames made of recycled wood or composite wood are eco-friendly options.

Metal frameworks are preferred for their durability and versatility. Depending on the finish, metal frames can give your photo a variety of styles. Silver can be treated to look sleek and polished or rustic and coarse. There are pewter frames, brass frames, chrome styles, silver-plated borders and sterling silver designs. Metal borders are your best option when you feel unsure of what goes best with your photo.

Leather framing look luxurious and refined. They lend a look of distinctive style in any picture. Moreover, leather designs go well with wooden decor. Leather framing look best in an office desk or even at home on your dresser. Look for hand-stitched ones that are made with genuine leather. Those that are made by skilled artisans are the finest choices.

Enamel framing look polished and stylish. Their glossy finish brightens any photograph. Enamel frames are also the most versatile when it comes to color. Those which are done in bright prints and bold colors seem to exude a young and cheerful vibe. Choose a color that offers a striking contrast to walls and furniture.

Beaded borders are both functional and decorative at the same time. These can liven up any room with their intricate style. These designs may radiate refinement or cheerfulness depending on the beadwork. Since beads are versatile enough to be made into any design, beaded framing are available in an assortment of styles and sizes.

Jeweled borders make an excellent conversation piece, whether you choose a simple or an ornate style. They come in an array of styles and colors. Brightly colored gems like amethysts, rubies and emeralds are popular choices. These stones are typically set in pewter or silver. Jeweled borders are simply beautiful and do a great job of showcasing your photos.
