I painted my walls pink (cherry soda to be exact :-)). I really wanted to put up black picture frames because it looks good against the pink wall but would that clash with the brown furniture?

I don't think so. I think it would look better, too much of the same is boring. Anyone who would paint their walls cherry soda pink doesn't sound boring to me.

Your color scheme sounds intriguing. First of all, there is no right or wrong answer. Black is neutral. Brown is neutral. The key to decorating is keeping it simple. Mixing a lot of colors makes the place look busy. All black frames are great. You run into trouble when you have one black fame, three gold ones, two silver and various woods. There's a trick to making even that work, but that's not the case here. Ultimately, you have to decide what you like...if you like black frames, brown furniture and cherry soda walls, you go girl.

Whatever color suits your use for the space and the available light, but you might want to consider whether your furniture is a warm brown or a cooler brown, and go from there. I live in a damp maritime climate with a lot of grey days -- a light yellow or peach looks good on walls around here. That might look horrible with desert light. Bring home some paint chips and try out the colors. When you think you've got a good color, buy a gallon of paint and roll on a good swath of color in the middle of a wall or two, and see if it's something you can live with. If not, choose another color. Paint's cheap!

Of course not. What I would use instead of painted black frames, is a black stained wood frame (about 3" wide). I think it would look classier having black wood.

If you have good artwork, frames should be chosen for the pictures, not the room decor.
