Oval frames are a great for displaying a portrait in a unique way. The tricky part with oval frames is selecting a picture that goes beautifully in this unique shape. Oval frames are ideal for single portraits as they are easy to align appropriately in the frame. Pictures of couples may also work well within oval frames as long as they're heads are in close proximity to each other.

When thinking about an oval frame, the idea should be about highlighting a formal picture, rather than a candid shot of someone. The shape of an oval frame leads to an emphasis on elegance of the image and a closeness when displaying pictures of couples. If you're not certain if the picture you're considering will work, it's a good idea to purchase an oval mat, or cut a sheet of paper into an oval, and place the oval over the picture. If it looks good, then chances are good you'll be happy with your new oval frame. If not, then time to select a different shaped frame.

Solid wood oval frames are generally simple with little to no decoration on the frame while composite wood is easier to mold and has decorative ornamentations on the frame. Wood oval frames are most popular for hanging frames in rich wood tones like vintage walnut, rosewood and cherry or antique colors like gold or silver.

The other option is a metal oval frame. Metal oval frames are usually designed for table top surfaces and come in smaller sizes with decorative features like decorative metal work, beads or crystals. They can be made out of precious metals like sterling silver, silver plate and solid pewter or inexpensive, light-weight metal like aluminum. You can find metal hanging oval frames, but they are generally more difficult to find especially in sizes larger than 8x10.
