Typically frames are made from either wood or metal. They come in an array of different sizes as well as different colours. There is a large selection of different coloured wooden and metal frames for you to choose from if you want to purchase a coloured frame for your piece of art, your photographs or a print you really like.
Getting the right size for your artwork is essential so that it fits properly. Having a frame that is too big is easily detectable and it will look very unprofessional with gaps around the artwork. If your painting or photographs is an irregular size, it is possible to have custom made frames to fit your painting perfectly.
In addition to choosing the right size of frame, you will need to consider the size and dimensions of your mount. Mounts are made to order, so you can choose the dimensions yourself down to the last millimetre. Mounts come with a 45 degree bevelled edge with different width sizes. Some people prefer to have a thick mount surrounding their artwork or photographs, whereas others prefer something thinner.
Your professional framer will be able to tell you which frame and mount would look best for your artwork.
