What Type of Photo Frame Are You?
Photo frames are obviously for framing photos, but they are also an extension of you! If you are an outgoing extrovert-type of person, chances are that you have brightly colored digital picture frames for your pictures – red, blue, silver or with designs on the frames.
An ‘artsy’ type person will have unusual frames that complement each photo. An organized person will try to have the same type of frame for all photos. The work-aholic business person tends to gravitate to black frames. Really laid-back person? Doesn’t matter – this personality type will have antique wood, plastic, metal, modern wood, what ever! And, they will all somehow hang together in harmony.
No matter what type of personality you are, at some point in time you will have a ‘special’ photo, print or project that simply has to have the ‘perfect’ photo frame. The search is on. There are literally thousands of ready-made photo frames out there, but you cannot find one that is right for your special photo. Guess you’ll just have to settle for second best. WRONG!
There is still an option or two out there. Have your photo professionally framed. You would get to choose the frame material and color, mat, no mat, oddly shaped mat, whatever you desire. I guarantee you will be pleased with the outcome. But, there is another way to get the perfect photo frame, much less expensive than using a professional. Find a frame shop that allows you to make your own frame; most cities have them. You will have the same exact options as you would having it done professionally. The shop personnel will train you: how to measure your photo to get a good frame fit, how to put the frame together, how to clean the glass, how to apply the paper on the back, and what type of hanging mechanism to have. The shop cuts and miters your frame material and mat.
Now you have your prize photo in the perfect photo frame, and you have the self satisfaction of having made the frame yourself. Congratulations!

I like frames with no frills — just a square or rectangle wood or metal. They are easier to clean hehe. But I am thinking of buying a digital frame soon. I’m saving up for the bigger size so my grandparents can enjoy our photos.
I am also in particular with the glass that covers the picture in the frame, i like it non glossy for less light reflection, i forgot the proper term for it, we always have an annual family picture framed, so my humble abode is almost like a gallery ahaha
I still prefer the simpliest design. I am much of a minimalist
I’m laid back! I really didn’t notice that picture frames can actually express personality but I guess it’s kind of true because it adapts to your personal taste.
I guess I’ll be more aware now if I gravitate towards black. It’ll mean I’m working too hard and am getting addicted to it.
i guess i’m a laid back. it doesn’t matter to me as long as the color blends with the photo and the wall. haha!
not much photos displayed on my walls though, only 2 1,000pc puzzles framed.
I’m the laid back type and hubby is my opposite, he will scour every corner of different shops to find cheap but good quality personalized frames.. lol
In my family, I am the one who loves to design and manage picture frames of our family. The design of the frame depends on the captured picture.
our living room is full of picture frames and I am planning to get a digital photo frame in order to place more recent pictures in it.
I am a little bit OC so I prefer our frames to be in uniform, but my hubby is the designer in the family, so he gets to dress our home..
I just keep everything neat and in order.. 
We have different types of photo frames, depending on what room it’s in.. 
We do have a digital photoframe but we only put it on when we have company, to save on electricity.. LOL
I like different kinds. I don’t know why. Eclectic really appeals to me. =)
