You can purchase picture frames from craft stores, home decor stores, and lots of other places. These picture frames can be handy for lots of things, but they aren't the right solution for everything that you want to hang on your wall. Custom picture frames that are made specifically for the photograph or piece of art that you want to display can be a better choice in many situations. You should place an order for a custom picture frame sometime soon if one of the situations below applies.
You're Framing Something That Is Unusually Sized
If you shop for pre-made picture frames, you will find that there are various sizes out there. However, there are a few standard sizes that are most common. If you need to frame something that is unusually sized, then you might have a hard time finding a pre-made picture frame that is the appropriate size. Of course, you don't want to use a frame that isn't the right size; a frame that is too small might require you to cut or otherwise damage the picture that you are adding to the frame, and a frame that is too large could have a sloppy appearance. If you custom order a picture frame, however, it will not matter if the item that you are framing is unusually sized.
You'll Be Displaying the Frame in a Prominent Place in Your Home
If you are hanging up a picture among many others on a wall in your home, then you might not be overly concerned about the look of the picture frame. If you're going to be displaying the frame in a prominent place in your home, however, you should place a custom order so that you can purchase a frame that has the perfect look for the space where you will be hanging it.
You're Framing Something Special
Some items that are meant to be framed should be done so in a nice frame just because of how special they are. If you are having a really important photograph framed — such as your wedding picture or your child's graduation picture — then a custom frame is going to be more fitting for such a special photograph than a regular frame that you could buy off of the shelf at a mass-market retail store. Additionally, if you are framing a valuable piece of art, then you should pick a fitting frame instead of just putting it in a cheap frame that isn't really suitable.
