What colour picture frames?

6年前

I've got these two beautiful paintings which are approx. 41cm x 32cm incl mat. I need to get some frames and really don't know what colour to get. Most likely they will be hung next to each other on a white or cream wall. The mats also look a good bit darker than they are; they are a light cream in colour. I'd love to get your thoughts.

Beautiful pictures - they look like watercolours?? I would suggest matt black or a dark dark grey. It will define the picture and enhance the darker areas of the pictures. The dark frame will balance with the cream mat boards.

I would use simple black metal frames and would love to see larger mats. cheers

Thank you, both for helping me narrow the choices down. I'll bring the watercolours along and see what works well in the black and dark dark grey (liking the sound of this).

I am with cianor - a dark gray to pick up the same tone of the paintings. Also, I would give them a ......I forgot what it's called.... a wider mounting.....to make them standout even more.

I agree - matt black or charcoal with larger size backing. Make sure the thickness of the frame doesn't overwhelm the artworks.

We are hoping to renovate downstairs later in the year, so I'm not sure yet where they shall go yet. At the moment next to the stairs, which is a wrap around with double height ceiling.

The watercolours are from a small coastal village Schull, in Ireland, so I want to showcase them as they remind me of home.

Thanks again all for your suggestions. Much appreciated!
