3 Important Tips to Help You Choose the Right Oval Picture Frame

Oval picture frames are a decorative and unique way to display any portrait or favorite photo. However, not all portraits work well in oval picture frames. To help you make the best picture selection for your oval frame there are three questions you should ask:

Question #1: What type of picture do you want your oval frame for?

The first thing you should think about is what type of photo you want to display- is it a portrait, a candid, a landscape or a still life photo? Normally, oval frames look best with portraits of people. Oval frames are best used to highlight a formal picture or portrait and usually don't look good with informal candid photos. The elegance and simplicity of oval frames are a natural fit for a formal portrait and its shape lends nicely to displaying a photo of just a few people. However, you can have a picture of a group and still have it look nice in an oval frame as long as it's not cropped too tightly.

If you're considering an oval frame but aren't quite sure it will look good, you should get an oval picture frame mat (or cut a sheet of paper into the shape of an oval) and place it over the picture. You'll know immediately if you like the oval shape with your picture. If it does, continue your search for an oval picture frame. If it doesnt, search for a different frame shape.

Question #2: What kind of oval frame do you want?

In addition to the type of photo you want to frame, you should also consider where you plan to display your oval frame. Before you buy an oval picture frame, determine how you want to display it. Do you want to display it on a table or dresser or hang it on the wall? Be sure to always check the oval frame before you buy it to see how it can be displayed because many oval frames are designed with either hanging hardware or an easel back stand but few have both. This often overlooked step is important to help you properly narrow down your frame selection.

Next thing to consider is the type of material and style. There are lots of different styles and finishes to choose from with oval picture frames. Do you want a wood picture frame or a metal one? With wood oval frames, there are varying degrees of decoration depending upon the type of wood frame. Solid wood oval frames usually come with little to no decoration on the frame while composite wood frames generally have more ornamentation on the frame because the composite wood is easier to mold. Oval wood picture frames are usually most popular in rich wood tones like vintage walnut, rosewood and cherry or antique colors like gold or silver.

Metal oval frames are another option, but are commonly designed for table top displays instead of wall picture frames. Metal oval frames are easy to find in smaller sizes and are usually adorned with decorative features like decorative metal work, beads or crystals. If youre looking for an elegant look consider a precious metal like sterling silver, silver plate or solid pewter. These frames will be more expensive than the metal alloy or aluminum oval frames however they will stand the test of time and be enjoyed for years.

The picture you want to frame and your personal style preferences are ultimately what determine what oval picture frame is best for you. However, dont make the mistake of selecting a frame you love without any consideration to how the photo will look.

Question #3: What frame style does your picture go best with?

The best place to start when selecting a frame if often to start with the color of the frame. Here is a good general rule of thumb for selecting a color:

  • Antiqued silver frames are a wonderful choice for black and white photos
  • Antiqued gold frames are great with sepia prints and also look good with black and white photos.
  • Classic wood finishes like cherry, rosewood and walnut look great with just about anything and are always a safe bet if you're not sure.

Once you've selected your color, you'll now need to determine the type of style that will best complement your photo. But first, lets get a basic understanding of the basic styles of oval frames and how they suit different needs.

Photos of women always look great in a feminine looking frame. A feminine looking frame usually has a decorative or flowery ornamentation on the top and bottom of the frame or a beaded or decorative edge outlining the oval frame. Most feminine looking oval frames tend to have a traditional or classic style.

For pictures of men or boys, you will want a more masculine look so consider a classic plain oval frame with no ornamentation or decorative edging. However, for a young boys photo a small amount of youthful decoration will nicely highlight the photo.

Black and white, sepia and any other old fashioned looking photos will go beautifully in an antique style oval frame. These frames have some type of ornamentation around the exterior of the frame to give it a traditional or antique look. Many antique picture frames have a dark underlying color around the ornamentation to give it an aged look that helps to accentuate the decorative features.

With so many colors and styles, make sure to choose a frame that complements both your photo and your home's decor. Once you've answered these questions, you should have everything you need to choose the right oval picture frame for your photo.
