Picture frames are the finishing touch that can really set off the look of your portraits, so you should never skimp on the quality when it's time to choose how to display them. Quality picture frames come in so many styles, materials and colors that it can be overwhelming, and you want your portraits to be framed so that they are displayed to their best advantage.
When you look for picture frames, remember that you should also consider matting your portraits to set them off a bit from the frame. This draws the viewer's eyes to the portrait and can tie in the color scheme of the room. Keep in mind the decor of the room as well; for a more traditional room, more ornate picture frames in gold or silver leaf are excellent choices.
If the room is modern, think about slender chrome or matte acrylic frames for your portraits. Many fine arts galleries today showcase their artwork in the more streamlined frames to focus attention on the paintings themselves.
If, however, you've invested in some prints of portraits by early American artists, you may want to go with some traditional wooden picture frames in oak or cherry in keeping with the time period and style of the artist.
Keep in mind that the most gorgeous works of art you purchase can be enhanced by properly chosen picture frames, and your family portraits and fine arts purchases should always be displayed like the treasures they are.
