How to Use Ornate Gold Picture Frames

Ornate gold picture frames are something that most people associate with art galleries and museums. However, with the right approach and a willingness to experiment with what you put on the walls, you can use these same frames to add style to your home.

Difficulty:

Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Use ornate gold picture frames to frame subtle and darker paintings, prints and photographs. The low light of the images will benefit from the contrast of the bright gold.

2. Place striking modern art in an ornate gold frame to achieve an ironic contrast between the modern image and the classical frame.

3. Use ornate gold frames to frame things besides images. For example, if you have a boring window in your home, place an ornate gold picture frame around it. You can do the same thing with a fish tank or even a bulletin board to add color and vibrancy to a room.

4. Put art or drawings from your children in an ornate gold picture frame to make the young artists' work look special.
