What you hang in a kitchen will be different to a hall way or living room. It\u2019s about what feels right for the room and the mood you\u2019d like to create.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Match the Frame to the Picture <em>and<\/em> the Room<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Next of all you need to choose a suitable frame for the picture and then try it out in the room. Two important things to consider are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The prominence of the frame \u2013 <\/strong>An<strong> i<\/strong>mportant piece of art work or special photo (like your wedding day) is worth displaying more prominently in your home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The size of the picture<\/strong> &#8211; Larger pictures can generally carry a heavier or wider frame. However, you could display a tiny photo and a more dramatic frame if you want to &#8211; to make it feature more prominently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Consider Colour when Framing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If your home is modern, it could probably take more vibrant or bold colours. If your home is more traditional or rustic, you might choose a more muted palette.<\/p>\n<p>You could play with an \u2018accent\u2019 colour. If your walls and furniture are fairly neutral, you could use a colourful frame as an accent and match it to any soft furnishings.<\/p>\n<p>Think about your personal taste.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you like things to match perfectly?<\/li>\n<li>Do you prefer bright or even clashing colours, to neutral shades?<\/li>\n<li>Do you prefer clean lines or something more ornate?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019d like more guidance on colour, you might need our previous post \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk\/blog\/picture-framing\/how-to-choose-a-mount-colour-for-your-photo-or-picture\/\">How to choose a mount colour for your photo or picture\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Does the Frame \u2018Feel\u2019 Right?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Finally, the most important things to remember when choosing the right picture frame for any room in your home: choose something you like, you\u2019re happy to look at, and something that feels right.<\/p>\n<p>If a picture doesn\u2019t feel right in a frame you\u2019ve chosen, ask yourself a few questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is this frame too modern or traditional for my home or this picture?<\/li>\n<li>Does the frame complement the colours in this picture?<\/li>\n<li>Does this picture frame fit nicely into this room?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember, there are no hard and fast rules. As long as you keep in mind the positioning, colour and the context of where your picture will go, you could find the perfect frame for any room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some important things to consider when you\u2019re choosing the right picture frame for your room: the positioning of the picture, the colour scheme, the theme of the room and the available space.
