Making a picture into a baguette Automatic translate

A painting framed in a baguette always looks more expensive and sophisticated. A correctly selected frame allows you to shade the color palette and present the composition in the right light. The same painting can look completely different depending on what frame is chosen for it. To ensure that the work does not lose its uniqueness, you need to be especially careful when choosing a frame for it. The design of a picture in a baguette should be based on many principles. One of the main ones is that the frame should be matched specifically to the composition, and not to the interior in which it will be placed.

Which baguette can you choose?

The baguette should complement the picture and not look like a separate item. To achieve this effect, you need to decide what material the frame will be made of. The most popular are 3 types of baguette:

• Wood. Can be made from pine, oak, cherry and other tree species. Wooden frames for paintings are considered one of the best, as they are environmentally friendly, durable and add naturalness to the composition.
• Plastic. Such frames are often made of polyvinyl chloride. Thanks to modern processing technologies, they can imitate natural wood and be painted in different shades. By external signs, such a frame is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye from wood, but it is cheaper and lighter.
• Aluminum. Metal frames have a clear profile and are practically devoid of decorative cutouts and additional elements. They give the picture rigor, while the structure itself is light and durable.

In order for the design of paintings to be successful, it is important not only to take into account what material the baguette will be made of, but also to know how to correctly combine its shade with the shades of the composition, how thick the frame should be, etc.

How to choose the right baguette for a painting?

It is important that the texture or ornament of the frame repeats or complements the motif of the composition on the canvas; the image should smoothly transition into the frame.

You also need to consider the following:

• It is better to frame small paintings in a wide baguette, when the total area of ​​the frame is larger than the painting itself it looks more expressive;
• It is better to combine warm-colored compositions with frames of the same shades, and cold-colored compositions with cold colors, this avoids sharp contrast;
• if the image is dominated by simple lines, then the baguette should be simple;
• You should always remember that the main attention should be drawn to the picture, and not its frame, so it should not be overloaded with unnecessary elements that immediately catch the eye;
• The color of the frame should be chosen half a tone darker or lighter, depending on the predominance of the main color of the picture, or combined with a non-main shade of the composition.

Most often, the shade of natural wood is chosen, as it is combined with all compositions. Also, when choosing a suitable frame, you need to take into account the style of the picture. A large selection of baguettes is presented in the Infanta framing workshop in St. Petersburg. The range of frames is made of different materials, different shades and textures.
