Whats the best way to select frames for my project?
Generally, metal will be used when (1) budget is the prime consideration or (2) when a decidedly contemporary look is needed. We have seen a strong move to wood frames in the last few years. Our customers order 66% wood, 34% metal currently. Look at the case goods & finishes in the space – desks, cabinetry, tables – and match those as closely as possible. If art is in hallways or other areas without furniture, match chair rails or woodwork mouldings.
