Most Popular Types of Frames
When you are looking at custom frames there is no limit to the size you can order. There are all different types and materials available as well. Some types are more popular than others. Choosing the right style can help amply the presentation of your artwork or photograph.
Wood Picture Frames
Wood is a natural material and provides a classic, warm feel. Depending on the finish a wood frame can range from light to dark and anything in between. When you consider a wood frame you’ll have an abundance of choices to complement or contrast your image. At Suburban, we’ll recommend a frame based on the image you are highlighting. Dark woods like walnut or mahogany are best used with photos that incorporate warm tones like orange, brown, or red. Photos that use cooler tones like blues, lavender, or greens will look better in lighter wood frames made out of woods like pine, ash, or oak.
We can help you choose a wood frame that matches the décor of the room where it will be placed. They can range from simple designs to complex details. Different styles like country, rustic, chic, or traditional will need a different type of frame and we can help you find the right one.
Metallic Picture Frames
Metallic frames offer a modern, trendy vibe. They can lift the colors from a photograph and make it more eye-catching and vibrant. It can look classy, so a metallic frame works well for family portraits, wedding photos, and scenic landscapes. In contrast, candid shots may look better in a wood, white, or black frame. It is good to note that black and white photos pair well with a metallic frame.
White or Black Custom Picture Frames
Black has an air of elegance while white leans toward a casual look. Either frame, black or white, can accentuate the photograph and bring out the true beauty. Black frames will tend to bring out the darker features and act as a contrast to lighter features. To create a balanced look, use a photograph with both light and dark tones in a black frame.
A white frame is similar as they tend to make the dark areas in photos and images stand out. They will push the lighter hues into the background where they tend to blend in. White frames are the better choice for candid and casual photos.
A gallery wall is a great place to display black and white photos in solid colored frames. It fosters a stylish, artistic feel.
