You need to decide which Picture Frame moulding you want.

First you should consider the basic color groups you see on the links, just above, of the picture frame pages. Looking at your picture, what color group do you think would go best with your picture. Gold, walnut, oak, elc..? Then go into that color group and see if there is anything there that would work well with your art. This method is the fastest and works pretty well.

If you are framing a painting done on a canvas you might want the frame rabbet to be deep enough to take in the whole depth of the canvas. Otherwise, the canvas will stick out a little on the back of the frame and the frame will not set quite flush with the wall. This doesn't bother many folks and they use our offset clips to secure their canvases into the frames. There are frames on our site that are deep enough to take in the whole canvas. The rabbet depts are given for each picture frame moulding. Use these as guide lines to choose your moulding. This said, all mouldings deep enough for a canvas can also be used for any other picture such as a matted print.

You also need to consider the size of the picture you are framing.

    • Any frame up to 11 by 14 inches can use any of our picture frame mouldings.
    • Any frame from 11 by 14 up to 20 by 24 inches needs at least a 1 inch wide wood picture frame moulding, or wider.
    • Any frame over 20 by 24 inches needs a 1 1/4 inch or wider picture frame moulding.
    • Any frame over 30 inches is best served by a 1 1/2 inch or 2 inch wide picture frame moulding.
      You need the thickness described above to get a frame strong enough to be capable of holding your art, glass and backing materials.

    • It is very wise to order samples of our mouldings before buying your chops as there is a no refund policy on cut picture frame moulding. Even professionals cannot return cut picture frame chops.
