New Picture Frame Styles and Types

Choosing the style of modern picture frames for your room is a great way to start setting the tone for your wall decor. With different colors and proportions, you can bring simple versatility to your room.

• Try white frames with white mat to keep all eyes on the contents of the frame. This is an artistic way to show off abstract work or a highly-detailed photograph.
• Black frames can add serious contrast to your wall. Pick pale, neutral and pastel colors, play with earth tones or let bold jewel tones stand out against this rich, dark neutral.
• No-nail frames give a dimensional look to any wall by displaying art, photos and mementos at different angles along the wall. This use of perspective is upscale and makes a great conversation starter when you have friends over.

Creating an Art or Photo Gallery

Embellish your walls with an art or photo gallery that you design yourself. Choose a set or series of modern picture frames. They don't have to match exactly, although many galleries consist of the same frame to call out a creative theme or keep attention on what you select to put inside the frames.

• Decide how far apart you want to hang your frames. A gallery is closely placed with narrow space between each frame, unlike a concept where you might just hang matching frames in different parts of a bedroom, lounge or study space.
• Gallery frames often include mat to help with proportion and spacing. Modern picture frames will often come with a matte that fits the frame, so you can choose artwork that fits with the overall scale of the room and the gallery.
• Direct lighting a your gallery to make the most of the impact. Spotlights from a desk lamp or an overhead chandelier with diffuse light over the gallery all look wonderful.
