Framed art is a major upgrade over artwork held to the wall by overworked pieces of tape. Such a statement is so self-evident that it sounds a bit silly; most people, after all, can agree about the superiority of framed art. Determining that a frame is needed, however, is a much simpler task than picking the right frame.

There are many factors that go into the process of frame selection. The first obstacle is finding a frame that suits the piece of art to be held within it. One would not necessarily pick the same frame for an Ansel Adams print (a black and white photograph) and a Wassily Kandinsky print (an oil painting featuring wild, unpredictable colors). A suitable frame will not distract from the appeal of the piece; a good frame will go so far as to enhance the artwork.

Frames must also be matched to the room in which the paintings are to be displayed. In some cases, it may actually make more sense to choose the frame before choosing the painting. Once one has determined the type of frame to be used, the range of paintings that will be enhanced by such a frame will be narrowed--a potentially beneficial effect when one is having trouble choosing among many paintings.
