It's amazing how a frame or some matting around a print can really enhance the image. Here is one of my prints from the watercolor painting, "Guarding the Farm", with three different suggested framing options.
 Ideally, it is best that the matting and  frame complements the image. But for some, it is their wish to match their decor in some way too. This is possible if you are willing to compromise a little. If you work with a professional picture framer, he or she can help you choose matting that best compliments the image. Then select a frame that will work with your furniture decor as well as the image.

This print is available through my website:

 This one is framed in a traditional manner, complementing the entire piece. A wood frame that complements the piece and a double mat with a wood fillet between the two mats that matches the frame.

 This is done in the same manner as above but instead, a linen liner is used in place of a mat and a larger frame was selected and having a more rustic appeal.


This one is framed with a linen liner with a wood fillet, matching the frame. This frame was selected to accent
the clients furniture and yet still works with the image and has an elegant appeal.

All of these work well with this image. Your local framer may have even better suggestions!
