Picture frames come in different shapes and sizes. Just as different clothes would make you appear different, a picture frame changes the appearance of a picture either for the better or for the worse. One of the most distinct print framing shapes is round.

Round frames come in small and medium sizes and are made from various materials. Below are some useful tips on how to enhance your photographs by the use of round picture frames:

1. One of the best types of images to hang in round frames is landscape photographs. Images shot in landscape format act as portals through which you can view the background scenery. As such, a round frame acts as a peephole via which you can observe the photo more keenly.

2. Use photographs that have the subject located further away in the background. If the subject is too near, they might appear out of sync with the shape of the round frame. The dimensions of the frame are also not suited for close-up shots as some areas might be cropped.

3. Pet pictures are some of the best pictures to hang in round shaped frames. The subject’s compact size and playful demeanor makes them ideal for these types of frames. You can take full body or headshots of your pets and attach them on round frames.

4. Babies are also ideal subjects for round shaped frames. Their tiny heads and bodies are perfectly suited for these frames. Ensure that the photo is centered well so that no parts are left out when you hang the picture.

5. Another smart use of round frames is to display works of art. Small paintings, stitchery and water colors make wonderful painting framing. Some artworks also come with their own round frames which are priced separately.

6. You can make a small room appear bigger by the use of round framed mirrors. There are superb frame shapes and designs which can house mirrors of all sizes. Remember to put only one or two framed mirrors in the appropriate room. Too many framed mirrors will make your home to appear creepy.

7. Never display a close-up photo in a round frame. The round shape emphasizes the roundness of the subject’s head which is always unflattering.

The simple tips outlined above would come in handy when framing pictures in round frames. Choose a creatively designed round poster framing to ensure that your photograph is perfectly enhanced by the frame chosen.
