Choosing Your Frame

$0.00

The Great Frame Up carries hundreds of quality frames in different woods, styles, colors, and finishes. At The Great Frame Up we are trained in the “rules” of how to choose an appropriate frame. Here are some of the things that we will keep in mind as we work with you on your project.

Size - It's important to select a moulding of the appropriate width. A moulding that's too narrow can look like an afterthought and be structurally unsound. Your frame should physically and visually support the weight of the art without being overpowering.

Style- The color, subject matter, and tone of your art will all point you toward an appropriate selection of frames. The frame should continue to carry the "message" of the art. The décor of the room in which the piece will hang should also act as a guide.

Type- Wood frames will look good on almost any piece of art. We offer a wide selection of frames crafted from domestic woods such as walnut, cherry, oak, ash, basswood, poplar, and pine as well as select, high-quality imported varieties and eco-friendly options. Stained wood can be plain, carved, simple or ornate. And, many wood frames are available in lacquer finishes, faux finishes, and gold or sliver leaf. We also carry metal frames, which work well with certain décors, or with modern pieces and posters.
