Novél Art and Frames
Looking to spruce up your walls with family photos, art and more?
Then read on the find out how to choose the perfect picture frame according to the team at Novél Art and Frames.
Photo frames are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. The most popular options at the moment are natural wood, black or white solid frames or metallic frames. These timeless options will instantly elevate any printed work.
Wood is the most natural choice. When selecting a wood frame, choose a colour that compliments both your wall colour and decor style. For instance, light or whitewashed frames work well in contemporary homes and beach houses, while darker woods suit a more traditional or rustic decor scheme better.
For an elegant, gallery-style display, opt for a black frame. It’s modern, streamlined and right on trend. If you want to go more casual, white frames are a great option, too.
Remember, black frames will highlight the darker hues in the artwork while white frames make light hues blend into the background, making it a good option for casual photos.
And if you want to create a gallery wall, using various-size frames in the same solid colour (black or white) is the best way to go for a stylish display.
Lastly, metallic-hued frames are a great option for classic photos such as portraits and landscapes.
The trendy option is quite eye-catching as it lifts the colours in photos and artwork, making it a good choice for family portraits, wedding pictures and black-and-white artwork you want to highlight.
