The art itself doesn't match. One B&W photo, one painting, one color photo. Of course the size of the frame may differ with the art piece. My gut tells me to have frames that are similar (all one color for example) but not matchy-matchy.

It's for my bedroom. All the subjects differ. Some walls are white, some are orange.

NO!!!!! Go with what looks good on the art. What will showcase the art. What looks good on one piece will make another look flat.
The wonderful thing with wood....it all blends together.
All woods go together, they all grow in a forest together. Focus on the art...I have a fortune in frames...and they showcase each and every piece of artwork...put them together in the room...they still work...focus on the art!!!
A friend of mine once told me, that I was the only one she knew that could pull off a contemporary painting above a Victorian headboard....it's all in the framing!!!

Go with your gut. You are absolutely correct. Choose a color and let that be your guide. Each art piece/photo will dictate what style frame would be best suited for it - as long as they all stay within the same color family it should all be good! For example, if you went with gold or gold tones, you could also use a golden brown or a bit deeper brown within that same "family" tone. You would not want to throw in a silver or copper color. Just as reds (ex. tomato to cranberry) are not all alike neither are browns. So if you mix metals w/ wood keeps the tones similar. I typically like all photos to be framed in the same color when they are displayed together. You can also choose to bring continuity with the matting. Here you could have some "matching". My living room has many varying framed pieces that have similar toned frames, they are double matted w/quite different, yet complimentary outside matting, but the thin hint of color inner matting is all the same. That hint of sameness ties them all together.
Hope this helps!

If you are doing an art wall, they should be in a color family but if you are talking about art throughout your house, then no. For an art wall, you want to see the art not the frames which is why you would want to stay focused on a similar look.

no do not match frames the whole concept of art is originality so make frames a little differently and you will appreciate your work that much more.

We are retired military, so my advice is -
1] frame all art in similarly colored wood [ like oak or walnut ], metal [ brass or chrome ] or colored enamel.
Frames are all similar 'colors' but not same designs or style.
2] art can go from different arrangements, to different rooms, to different houses.
3] mine are all oak or brass, and look good in any room in my home

I would buy some cheap frames from a dollar store or walmart and spray paint them. They need to be a bit larger than the vinyl, of course. For a background, pick up some retro fabric.

Hard to say without seeing em & where they're going - how close together will they be? What kind of room are they going in? What's the subject - are they all of TOTALLY different subjects or are they similar at all? What color are the walls? Are they a focal point or are they just going to be subtle?
Ahh get funky then :) No need to have even similar frames.

No, different frame styles for different picture syling can be fun, and add an unnexpected punch to any room. Mixing it up shows your flavor & style! I use crumbling old & new victorian and new contempory frames. I love collecting old frames and painting them all one color (silver), its in my color scheme.

I think they should be at least the same color. Then the pictures will stand out more instead of the frames. Hope this helps.
