FRAMING GUIDE

Choose a frame that belongs in the room.

Use tone, contrast and the surrounding materials to choose a frame that supports the artwork rather than competing with it.

FRAME BY FEELING

Contrast creates presence. Tonal framing creates calm.

Black gives pale artwork a defined edge, while oak and warm wood finishes connect naturally with beige, olive and earthen palettes.

  • Black: crisp, graphic and architectural.
  • Natural wood: warm, relaxed and timeless.
  • White: quiet, airy and minimal.

A SIMPLE APPROACH

Three steps to get it right.

01

Read the artwork

Notice its darkest, warmest and quietest tones.

02

Read the room

Consider nearby woods, metals and furniture finishes.

03

Choose contrast

Decide whether the frame should blend gently or add definition.
