Finding the perfect wood picture frame can be tricky, but with so many choices and options out there you can definitely find what you want. Framing your favorite picture is an excellent way to express more of your decorative style as you choose the one that's perfect for you.

First you'll want to determine the size you need. Your wood picture frame should fit perfectly, so measure carefully to ensure a precise fit. Once you determine the size that's needed, take a look around your home at the decor. What design or style wood picture frame would best match your surroundings? Some things to take into consideration are type of wood and the stain that's utilized.

In my opinion, wood picture frames always look best if they complement the rest of the room in question. Take a look at your furniture, is it modern or traditional? Typically, black wood picture frames look great with more modern furniture and brown frames look better with more of a traditional look.

Some very popular wood types are pine, red cedar, walnut and cherry to name a few. Pine is extremely light and is very often stained, anywhere from very light or honey to a very dark brown. Other woods aren't stained as dramatically because of the natural shade that they carry.

Whatever the style you're looking for, you're bound to find what you need with the vast array of wood picture frames available for purchase. A closing tip: Consider buying several sizes of the same wood picture frame. You could then frame a variety of pictures with the exact same wood and hang the pictures in the same room. This is an excellent way to create cohesion in your room and a strategy my wife and I have personally implemented in our home.
