With so many photo frames on the market, it may seem a little confusing when searching for the perfect picture frame for your photos. How do you know which frame is the best choice when faced with so many options? Start off with asking yourself these three questions and you'll find the process of buying a photo frame becomes really easy.
#1 - Who is the picture frame for?
Is the frame to display your own pictures or is it a gift for someone else? Knowing the personal style and preferences of the person receiving the frame will make it a lot easier when selecting a photo frame. If the frame is for someone else, think about the types of decor they have in their house or apartment. Here are just a few questions to think about if you're buying a frame for someone else: - Do they have a lot of metal decorations in their home or do they have more natural wood tones? - Are the colors inside their home warm tones like browns, red, beige or cool tones like blue, white, or silver? - Do the items they own have very simple clean lines? Or, do they prefer more decorative and ornate features?
Or, if you're buying a frame as a gift for a special occasion it can be a lot easier to find a nice frame because many frame retailers organize their frames by occasion like weddings, a birth of a baby, birthdays, anniversaries and graduations.
A quality frame retailer will offer a large selection of photo frames in a wide variety of prices. You can find good quality picture frames for less than $10 and all the way up to $500 for a frame like a jeweled or sterling silver picture frame. That is why the next question is so important.
#2 - Will it fit your budget?
If you are like most economy conscious consumers, you have a budget. This is good because it further helps you narrow down your picture frame options. Picture frames on average can cost from $10 to over $50 depending upon the frame size and type of material. Special keepsake frames like sterling silver can cost well over $100 a frame. It's important to choose a photo frame that suits both your style and your budget.
#3 - Where will the frame be used?
Any photo frame you select should always complement your picture. If your picture frame is a gift, it is a good idea to go with a classic look, like a solid wood frame or a metal picture frame that will enhance a wider selection of photos and fit into most types of decor.
You should also consider getting a picture frame that can be used on either a table top or hung on a wall so it includes both an easel back stand and hanging hardware. In terms of size, you should always stay with standard photo frame sizes. Sizes like 8x10, 5x7 and 4x6 are always a good choice.
When buying a picture frame for yourself it's always a good idea to know which photo you want to display. That way you'll select a photo frame that fits your decor and goes with your picture instead of detract from it. A quality frame retailer will be happy to assist you if you are not sure which frame will look best with your picture. Free design services are offered by many quality frame retailers. All you need to do is ask for assistance.
By answering these three questions, you will be on your way to quickly and easily selecting the perfect picture frame for your photos.
