If you want to go for a contemporary look, picture frames do not have to match. While some decorators employ similar frame sets throughout their houses or even in the same room, others mix and match frames of various types and colors.

Choosing a frame that is an inch bigger and taller than the print or poster is often the typical rule. The frame should not be larger than the conventional size, as this will make the photograph or poster appear weird.
Robust pieces require strong frames and broader mats to avoid the frame seeming spindly and the art being crammed into the frame. Delicate works require extra caution since frames that are too dark or too wide can overwhelm them. The strength of an image isn't just determined by its size.
Making your own picture frame may be simple and gratifying, whether you want something unique and artistic or simply need to use up some waste wood. Critics and philosophers can discuss the topic indefinitely, but we believe the answer is simple: if it has a frame around it, it's art!
Off set clips, metal brackets with offsets of 1/8", 14", or 12", screw into the back of the frame and reach up to overlap the stack, are the most typical workaround. 12" offset clips, in fact, are deep enough to hold stretched canvas in most frames and are a quick and simple solution.
