FAQs

What is the best frame and mat for black and white photo? ›

Keep It Simple. Displaying a black and white photo in a simple frame creates a timeless look that allows the image to shine. Choose from a black, silver or white frame with a white or off-white mat for a classic look.

Wall Color: Take a good look at the wall color where your art will hang. A frame color that contrasts with the wall can help the artwork stand out, while a matching frame can create a harmonious and integrated look. For example, a white frame with white matting on a white wall can create a pleasing layered effect.

Mix it Up. While it's best to choose a frame that pairs well with the art inside of it, you don't have to stick to the same style for every piece on your wall.

Black and white mats are the most commonly used mat boards. They provide a simple, professional finish for your artwork. If you are planning to sell your artwork, black, white, or variations of black and white are the way to go (most of the time).

Matting and framing can greatly enhance the visual impact of a picture. Here are some key reasons why a picture looks better when matted and/or framed: Visual Separation: Matting provides a clear separation between the image and the frame, creating a visual boundary that draws attention to the photograph.

Opt for colours that complement the grey base and add depth and vibrancy to the space. Think of warm hues like rich burgundy, deep emerald green, or luxurious royal blue. These colours will create a striking contrast and make your artwork pop.

Gallery black and white frames continue to be a staple, favored for their timeless appeal. These monochromatic options serve as a stark contrast or a seamless complement to artwork, making them a go-to for galleries and homeowners alike.

A black frame can match almost any style and décor. Black is the most versatile colour. It can be dramatic, romantic, fun, serious, neutral or strong. Black is a powerful and distinctive colour so when it comes to interior design, as it works well as a strategic design accent.

The interior décor of the room

Make sure the picture frames blend well with other existing colours of the interior décor. Consider the colour values, the theme, artwork and ambience. You can maintain a balance by using warm and cool colours for the frames as they apply to a variety of situations.

Start with this question: Are you buying a PAPER or CANVAS art print? Paper prints need a frame for hanging and preservation. This includes giclée prints, original prints, and photo prints. Stretched canvas prints are ready to hang on your wall and do not require a frame.

If you have a cool-colored skin tone, opt for shades of black, gray, and blue. If your skin tone is warm, you would benefit from warm colors, such as tan, pink, and red. As always, when you learn how to select frames, it is easy to know which colors suit your skin.

Knowing the undertones of your wall paint will help you choose a frame colour that's complementary. For example, silver frames work great with cool undertones while gold frames are better suited to warm undertones. To make your art piece stand out, avoid frame colours that are too similar to the wall colour.

For a classic, timeless look, go for white frames with a white mat. This is a great way to make the picture stand out and emphasise the texture in the photo. For a moodier look, consider black frames with either a white or black mat.

Keep it classic. If you're interested in a timeless color palette, choose a black picture frame with a white or off-white mat. A light-colored neutral mat with a strong black frame can be a bold statement that draws attention to your beloved art.

Since there's no color, texture brings interest and depth to your photo. Clothes of lace, wool, or silk can add a touchable quality that looks good in black and white. Keeping it simple is best. A simple outfit helps keep the focus on you and the photographer's work.

Since there is no shine, the texture of the image can be more pronounced so this paper is ideal for detailed photographs. Black and white photos also will look stunning on matte photo paper.
