Size: The trick to making any size frame "work" with a piece of art is to control the proportion with matting. A wide frame requires more matting than a narrow frame. A solid background requires a wider frame for balance.
Style: The color, subject matter, and tone of your artwork will all point you toward an appropriate selection of frames. The frame should contiue to carry the "message" of the art. If you feel what you are framing doesn't really have a message, use the decor of the room in which your piece will hang as your guide.
Type: Wood frames will look great on almost any piece of art. We use walnut, cherry, oak, ash, basswood, poplar and pine- all domestic woods- in our frames. Stained wood can be plain, carved, simple or ornate. And many wood frames are available in lacquer finishes (a popular trend), faux finishes, or gold or silver leaf. We also carry metal frames, which work well with certain decor and with modern pieces and posters.
