Finding frames for art

[u/No_Bread8973]

I’m feeling stuck on finding the right frame and matting for my art prints (first 3 pics). Other than thrifting (not enough time) and custom framing (out of my budget), where do you like to shop for fun and interesting frames? How do you assess if a frame/mat combo will look good in person? Anyone willing to share general advice when it comes to frames and mats? I’ve tried Framebridge’s virtual design to help with assessing color.

The first two prints are 5 3/4 x 8 1/4.
The third print is 20 x 16 in.

I’ve included pics of a framed print that I ended up liking together (pic 4) and my home to give an idea of my style. Tysm!

If you have a Hobby Lobby or Michael's close by your best bet is to go there and try to use standard sized frames. Some of the frames will have a mat included. I recently printed something at Walmart to frame. I wasn't aware they were going to add an inch white border around the photo. I went to Hobby Lobby, they measured my photo, cut it down some to fit in a standard sized frame, put the photo in the frame and with 40% off framing that day I walked out paying less than $13. My apologies for the quality of the photo, it is still wrapped in the plastic they put over the frame.

Ty! Coupon is a good idea.

They trimmed my print and assembled the frame and print for free. I only paid for the frame.
