While there are no rigid rules in framing, these design guidelines will help you select the ideal frame style, colour, and material for your artwork.
1. Selecting the Right Tone and Colour
2. Matching Frame Profiles to Print Styles
3. Proportion, Scale, and Materials

Colourful frames are the perfect tool to create an eye-catching focal point, inject energy into neutral spaces, or highlight a specific accent colour within a room's decor. Bold, vibrant tones—such as primary reds and electric blues—perfectly complement the high-energy aesthetic of pop art, graphic prints, and typography poster art.

The premier choice for sleek, elegant, and contemporary designs. They look fantastic paired with classic black-and-white photography for a fuss-free finish. Additionally, aluminium provides the high durability and strength required for oversized frames.

L-profile frames—commonly known as canvas float or tray frames. Their unique "L" shaped design holds the canvas from behind, creating a deliberate shadow gap around the edges that gives the optical illusion of a floating painting. Unlike traditional frames, L-profiles sit entirely outside the canvas perimeter, ensuring 100% of the image remains visible without covering the borders. This modern, gallery-style look is ideal for original oil and acrylic paintings, contemporary abstract art with wrapped edges.

Antiqued and distressed frames offer characteristics that often work well with strong images.
They can help bring a sense of balance to the overall display while enhancing the character of the art.

Natural wood frames can add a more organic and grounded feel to modern or abstract work and a sense of warmth and emotion to family photos and wedding images.

Our bare wood frames can look beautiful with a simple coat of hand-applied wax. They can be painted or stained to complement or match any colour scheme.
