Picture frames are an essential part of any home, but they can often be overlooked. This is a shame because picture frames aren't just for displaying pictures (there are some great examples of gallery wall frames). They're also a wonderful way to add texture and colour to your walls, as well as making a room feel more settled and complete. So here are four great tips on how you can mix and match different styles of picture frames to create the perfect look for your interior:
Opting for similar tones and shades
- Use a single colour palette. A palette can be as simple as two colours: one for the frame and another for the matting. It could also be more complex, perhaps with one primary colour and one secondary colour, or three different tones of grey that work together.
- Use a single colour scheme. Rather than thinking about various colours in terms of how they relate to each other, think instead about how they relate to your wall colours or furniture. If you have a cream sofa and lots of warm woodwork around the room, then it helps if your frames are also warm rather than cool (which would clash). Alternatively, if you have lots of white walls with black furniture then you might prefer frames with black or dark brown mats so they don't stand out too much against their surroundings
Making sure there's a uniformity of size
When it comes to mixing and matching picture frames, the most important thing you can do is make sure they’re all the same size. This will give your display a balanced look and help it flow seamlessly from one image to another.
If you have a mix of sizes, as in this living room example, then you should make sure that your largest frame is at the bottom of your arrangement and your smallest frame is at the top. Otherwise, having all different sizes could be distracting rather than complementary.
Having a visually balanced arrangement…
Balance is a key component of design. A balanced arrangement can help create a sense of harmony, visual interest and symmetry. Balance can be achieved by using a variety of frame sizes and shapes. Balance can also be achieved by using a variety of frame colours or materials, or both.
The perfect frame bundle is the perfect complement to be the centrepiece of your interior.

Conclusion
If you’re unsure of the best ways to mix and match colours, remember that you don’t have to be an expert. The whole point of having a frame bundle is that it looks great with any colour scheme. As long as your frames are similar in size and colour tone, then you can go ahead with your choice without worrying about whether or not it will work!
