   How To Choose Wooden Picture Frames

Wooden picture frames are some of the most common types of picture frames on the market. They often provide you with a unique look, because of the details in the wood's grain. They are also some of the most traditional of styles in wooden picture frames. Although you may not realize it, though, there are different qualities and elements that you do need to take into consideration in selecting wooden frames. It starts with knowing what you are dealing with.

1. A Good Buy

Wood frames are an inexpensive choice for framing your pictures. They can be found in a variety of outlets, from department stores to mass retailers to dollar stores. Some craft stores may have them, also offering pre-made frames along with custom framing services.

2. Easy to Make

You can make wood photo frames from inexpensive wood slats or dowels, scrap wood from other projects or from demolished old wooden structures or furniture. Frames can be constructed using just a hammer and some nails, enabling you to create custom frames of any size and shape.

3. Many Wood Types

Frames can be made from various wood types from such as cherry, maple, oak, cedar or mahogany. Frames can be matched to the wood finishes of furniture in a room for a cohesive look.

4. Versatile Material

Wood is a versatile material that allows it to be constructed in multiple ways unlike other materials such as acrylic, plastic or finished metal. The look of wood frames can be changed over and over to match different decors and can be resized if necessary. With other frame types, this would be difficult or impossible to achieve without permanently damaging the frame.

5. Traditional Choice

For artwork, wood frames are the traditional choice as they are complementary to paintings and offer elegance rather than flamboyance. Using a wood frame can impart the same feel to traditionally themed photos such as portraits.

Finally, select the picture frame that is the right size and dimension for you. Many do have a lot of other character details you can consider, and you should. Wooden pieces can be added with ornate decorations. Select what works well in your home or for the look you are after. Wooden picture frames are a great investment when you take the time to purchase real quality.
