Nothing brings back memories of loved ones and special memories more than photographs. When we want to display them proudly or serve as a constant reminder, people print out photos and place them in their rooms or office space. While the photo may be great and look good by itself, you can still complement it and make it look even lovelier by placing it in a frame that is perfect for it. Here are some things that you should consider when you want to purchase a picture frame for those wonderful memories and people.
-Measure your photo and the display area. A frame that is too big for your photo may make your photo look ordinary or one that is too small may cause you to buy another one or crop/cut your current photo to an unflattering one.
For the display area, make the colors of the frame and the shapes consistent. If the current frames that you are in a darker shade, you may choose one in the same shade as well because a lighter one will look out of place. As for shapes, see if the current display has too many frames or decorations that have corners. You may want to complement them by purchasing round-edged ones or another unique shape.
-Choose the texture or material for your photo. To complement the black and white or sepia effect of your photo, you may want to choose a wooden frame or something that will look antique. For modern ones, and elegant black, silver or a frame with matte finish will do.
-If it’s digital photos that you are trying to display, different sizes and shapes of digital photo frames are available. Some even have stones or gems around the border of the frame to make your photos appear more elegant too.
-Carefully inspect the quality of the materials as well. Those made of lighter material may cost less but as for quality, they may be prone to cracks and tear more easily. You can invest in a more expensive frame as it will keep your photo safe and secure in the long haul.
-You may ask for assistance in setting up the picture frame on your wall. If you are not as careful with the plaster and screws, the frame might fall off.
Whether you are buying frames for family photos or buying frame favors, make sure that you have considered all the items above before buying them.
Choosing a picture frame should be done with careful thought as the wrong picture frame can ruin the ambiance and over-all look of your photo. Make the picture frame as special and as unique as the photo. By choosing the right frame, you are sure to protect the photo from eventual damage while you get to enjoy looking at the photo anytime.
