The frame texture can be chosen according to ones taste, as long as it does not take more attention, then the painting it self. It is no more difficult, than choosing cookies in the grocery store.

From philosophical point of view, the frame itself I like a door into an open world. Without any doubts – painting is a door indeed, not the window; it does not have a window cell.

Therefore, choosing a frame texture, pay attention to doors that will be in a room. If they made from expensive woods, don’t order a plastic frame. Plastic frame will suit better to a modern office.
Many are mistaken the painting for a door for imagination with a window for observation. They put it under the glass and hang so that it would become more spacious in the room.

You can’t hang painting on thing chords or fishing lines, that g above it. This way you get burd landing grounds, not doors. Even if your imagination is extreme, many paintings are not worth such risk.

The cost of frame is independent of cost of painting. Some paintings are priceless, but there frames not at all.

It is interesting that in antique times, some wall paintings were framed. People saw doors in it even back then.
