　　The picture frame moulding of an artwork is a decisive element in order to enhance it and protect it well. Whether it is a painting on canvas or an artwork on paper, the frame must come to embellish your piece of art.

　　Today, Let's discover our tips for finding the ideal picture frame mouldings for your artwork.

　　The Right Style

　　The style of frame moulding you choose will be a determining factor in embellishing your artwork. We recommend that you opt for antique frames with gold mouldings for both antique and modern arts. Antique frames are also interesting for contemporary works as they create an amazing dialogue between these two elements.

　　For contemporary art creations, we recommend that you opt for simplicity by choosing a modern frame. The main advantage of a simple frame is that it does not steal the spotlight from the work, it just aims to highlight it.

　　The Right Color

　　The harmony between a painting and its frame requires particular attention.

　　Generally, it is recommended not to go for a frame with a color close to the dominant color of the work. Indeed, this can lead to visual difficulties in appreciating the work and its composition.

　　Ideally, turn to a color that is present in the work, but which is only secondary. This way, the whole will be harmonious and beautiful to look at. This little reminder always produces a very pleasant effect for the viewer.

　　The Right Size

　　The last important point to consider when choosing the right frame for your art work is the size of the moulding.

　　If the lines of the art are fine and the elements represented are small, then the frame should be fine and discreet. On the other hand, the larger the motifs on the work, the thicker and more voluminous the frame should be.

　　For contemporary art paintings and drawings, we recommend that you do not use frames that are too thick. Indeed, this can stifle the rendering of your work.
