Selecting the Perfect Frame

If you need to find a frame for your photos or a painting then you need to answer a few questions first. You need to be very clear about what you want because there are a lot to choose from. Is it something small you are after or do you want something larger like size A2 or A3 frames?

To really answer these questions you need to establish the importance of the picture or the painting. If it is of great importance, like a graduation event, then you will want to go for something that is larger. If the event was not as important then a smaller frame should do. Obviously if it is for a painting then you will probably have no option but to go with the larger one.

Once you have established its importance start thinking about where the frame is going to go. If you are putting it in full display in the house then you want something that is highly visible. If you want it next to your bed then go for a smaller frame. You won't get many A3 frames next to your bed!

If you are framing a photo then think about using the new digital frames. I like to use a mixture of the 'old fashioned' frames and the new digital ones. They are simple to use as you can just transfer the memory card from your camera.

The bit that I love about these digital frames is that you can present a slide show of you pictures. Sometimes I get distracted from the television and just watch my photos going around!

The problems with digital frames are that they do use electricity which can be costly, you can't put paintings in them and you can't have them large to fit A2 or A3 frames.

Whichever type of frame that you choose make sure that you do display your photos. In this day and age a lot of people just leave them on their computers and I think is a waste.
