Decorating Help

I got this print for Christmas from my in-laws, unframed (don't get me started)...

I am going to order a mat and frame online for it, I found a place that will do custom mats for not an arm and a leg but I'm not sure what color to pick.

 TIA

Re: Decorating Help

  • I'd do a white mat. And I'm going to start giving my MIL prints that aren't framed either because she always reframes them!
  • Thanks ladies, that's what I was thinking because it is busy.

    Any thoughts on the frame color? I was leaning towards black...

    I'd do a white mat with a black frame. It's such an interesting and colorful print that I wouldn't want to overshadow it at all.

  • Depends on where you are going to put it. What color is the room and the furniture?

  • Thanks Jo, I really love the print, it's actually of the island I grew up on and where my parents still live.

     It's going in my kitchen I think, there's really nothing on the walls right now, the counters are brown w/almond appliances, so I think the black w/white combo will work well.  Plus this is just an apartment we're living in so I really don't want to make it match what's going on in there since we aren't going to live there forever.

    ETA: the walls are off white.

    When we had a print matted and framed at a shop, the lady told us that as long the mat/frame/print look good together, then the picture should be able to go anywhere in your house. She said to not match frames/mats to the wall/decor color. Just get them to match/coordinate with the print and it will look good anywhere.
