Different types of frames
Everything you need to know about different types of picture frames - we cover everything from wooden frames in black, white and oak to metal frames in gold and silver
Picture frame in black
Black picture frames, especially black wooden frames, could be one of the most classic frames to hang on a wall. The benefit of a black frame is that it is very easy to combine with the other interior. If you for instance have many straight black lines in the interior or for instance a rustic or industrial interior style then the black frames can be a perfect fit.
Picture frame in white
White picture frames, and especially white wooden frames, is a classic element when it comes to hanging pictures on the wall. A white frame is often well paired with a Scandinavian interior style and in lighter rooms and lighter wall colors. The benefit of a white frame is that it disappears against a lighter background and gives the picture full focus.

Picture frame in wood
A wooden picture frame, and especially an oak frame, is very commonly used in interior design. The benefit of an oak frame is that it is easily combined with several different interior styles, for instance rustic, bohemian or modern industrial styles. If you pair the type of wood of the frame with the other interior you will get a beautiful and consonant result.
Picture frame in dark wood
A dark wooden frame, perhaps in walnut or oiled oak, could be a good compromise between a black frame and an oak frame. If you also already have elements of dark wood in the other interior, perhaps if you have a classic, retro or marine interior style, the darker wooden frame could be a good complement.

Picture frame in light wood
A light wooden frame, perhaps in birch or another lighter type of wood, could be a nice compromise between a white painted wooden frame and an untreated oak frame. It can for instance be used when you want a lighter interior, perhaps with Scandinavian or rural interior styles, but when you still want to introduce wood that is more visible than white painted wood.
Picture frame in gold
A metal frame is perhaps more unusual than a wooden frame, but it can create a very beautiful result and stand out more than for instance a black or white frame. A golden frame especially could be a beautiful addition to an interior that is industrial or glamourous.

Picture frame in silver
A metal frame, and especially a silver frame, can feel more luxurious than a wooden frame. It can fit well with other furniture if you for instance have a glamourous or industrial interior style. The frame works well with most pictures, for instance with abstract or botanical prints.
Picture frame in copper
Copper frames come in different appearances, sometimes it has a more classic copper color and sometimes the color is more towards pink. A copper frame could be very nice in a rustic and industrial interior style, but it can be used for most styles. If you match it with similar colors in the interior it will be very beautiful on the wall.
