Decide what frame size to use |
|
Have you ever seen a frame that either looked wrong for the picture or wrong for the surrounding decor? Although there are no ironclad rules for selecting frame sizes, here are some general tips to help you make good choices and maximize the potential of your pictures.
Picture frames
 | The most common sizes for pictures, posters and lithographs are: 18x24, 24x30, 30x40 et 40x50. |
Photo frames
The most common sizes are: 10x15, 13x19, 20x30, 30x45 et 50x75
Digital formats are: 10x25, 11x15 , 11x17, 21x29,7 cm.
Frame size
Generally speaking, use a wide frame on large art and subject and a thin frame on small subject.
A wide frame adds presence and substance to a large piece hanging over a sofa or mantelpiece. Wide frames tend to feel like part of the artwork itself, and are often used as a decorative accent for Contemporary images.
A thin frame will not overwhelm smaller works of art. Thin frames are especially preferred when multiple images are displayed in wall groupings. However, there are no absolute rules. A wide frame can give a sense of luxury to a small print, while a sleek, thin frame can add a modern touch to a large contemporary work of art.
