Floating Frames can add a touch of elegance to your Wall Art

 

Canvas is often stretched on a wooden frame with the canvas wrapping around the edges, which can sometimes seem a little bare - and unfinished.

Floating frames can help create a more 'finished' look to the painting by adding  your choice of colour and type frame to match your decor.

 

What are Floating Frames?

Floating Frames are frames used for Canvas Art which are added at the end, once the canvas is already stretched on the wooden frame. They are mounted from the rear so they sit around the edges of the canvas, leaving a small gap between the frame and the canvas usually just 5 to 10mm.

This gives them the appearance of floating, hence the name 'Floating Frame'.

From the front the frame appears thin, but is deep enough on the sides to accommodate stretched canvases and hide the side of the canvas.

What are the benefits of Floating Frames?

Floating frames add a much more aesthetically pleasing look to your canvas than having them mounted on a frame with annoying glass reflections, which take away from the authentic look and feel of the canvas. 

Because of their simplicity, floating frames don’t vie for the attention of the artwork, and they fit in beautifully with most decors.

Choice of frames

Another great benefit of a floating frame is the ability to choose the frame colour that best accentuates the artwork or complements your decor, further tying it into the rest of your space.

This is why we choose to use them on most of our canvas paintings.

Grey sofas make a great neutral base for any colour palette. Navy and teal complement grey sofas and create a calming and sophisticated look; while yellow and pink can add a pop of colour and brighten up a neutral space. Avoid too many grey on greys as that will create a bland and flat look.
