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 molding. This said, all picture frame 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.
