There are many instances when you will want to display your photographs or paintings. You might be a gallery owner, and need to display artwork. Your home offers a wealth of possibilities for showing off your favorite pieces. Museums routinely showcase spectacular works by artists. Offices, schools, libraries, theatres and restaurants all have wall space that can be beautified with striking artwork. For those times when you want to show off your artwork, ready made frames provide a cost-effective and attractive solution for displaying your fine artwork. For certain pieces of two-dimensional art, custom picture frames offer an elegant alternative designed to fit any size picture.

Ready made picture frames come in both wood and metal varieties. Metal ready made frames are typically used to frame photographs. Black slender metal is used in these ready made picture frames in order to have a consistent look in a gallery setting where several different styles of photographs are displayed. Ready made frames of the same size can also be purchased in bulk for greater savings, a benefit for galleries and museums that have a high turnover of artwork.

Wood picture frames are the usual choice of artists who paint. For artwork that is of an unusual size, custom wood picture frames can be a wonderful resource for setting off your painting to its best advantage. Sizing instructions are offered by custom picture frames' manufacturers, so that you can follow them to get the precise measurements needed to construct the frame you want. Custom wood picture frames are made with different types of wood, and come in different shades, so that you can select the one that will best highlight your artwork.

Wood frames are also available for reasonable prices in ready made frames' styles. Ready made picture frames are a good choice if you have several pictures to frame and are trying to stay within a particular budget, they are usually readily in stock, come in standard sizes that work for many types of artwork and are easy to find, and for these reasons they tend to be less expensive than custom picture frames.

All frames can be used with appropriate mount and mat board. Mat board can not only add color to the picture's edging, but it also serves the utilitarian purpose of protecting the surface of the art from touching the glazing, and helps to provide air circulation so that moisture buildup inside the frame is minimized. You can choose from glass or acrylic glazing for custom or ready made picture frames, and that, along with the mat and mount board, are really all that you need to frame your pictures in style.
