Matte Canvas Art Frames

A stylish and sleek choice, our matte canvas frames come in black or white. If you’re looking for a clean and more simplistic look for a frame, then matte is a great pick for you. When it comes to picking the color of the frame, take a look at the accent colors of your artwork. If you see some black or darker colors within the details of your print, go for the matte black frame to match; if you see lighter colors, white may be the better choice. However, if you want a bold look, opt for black to contrast the lighter colors.
Pro Tip: Create and frame your own Custom Canvas Art for a more personal and meaningful touch in your space!

If you prefer a more classic and exquisite appearance, our wood canvas frames are probably what you’re leaning towards!

Additionally, if you have wooden furniture in your space, you can easily match the wood frame for a cohesive look.

Metallic Canvas Art Frames

Distressed Canvas Art Frames

If you’re into rustic art or a weathered look, then distressed canvas frames are the way to go. Coming in both black and white, these frames give off a slightly aged surface effect, making them look more vintage. While you can match distressed canvas frames with a lot of different artwork, the best match would be art that has a visually textured look. Our canvas art does not have a texture you can feel; however, some of our artwork gives off the illusion of texture. This textural appearance pairs wonderfully with the distressed canvas frames.
Paper Art Frames
Adding a frame to a paper art print can really help highlight it in a stunning way. Because our paper prints have a white border surrounding the artwork, adding a frame can help to make your artwork stand out more when putting it on display. While many of our paper art frames are the same as our canvas frames, there’s so many different ways to choose the right one for you!
Matte Paper Art Frames

Coming in black and white like the canvas matte frames, the black matte paper frames also come in two different widths – our regular 1.24” and our slim ,75” width. The width choice depends on how bold you want to get; the thinner option gives you a simply sleek accent while the regular width will really pop more on your wall. Just like the canvas frames, choosing black or white depends on the accent colors in the artwork and in your surrounding decorations. Whether you go for a subject like dark art, or more lighthearted artwork like motivational typography, our matte paper art frames can elevate any piece of work.
Pro Tip: When choosing a frame color, also think about the wall your artwork will be hanging on; decide if you want to contrast or complement the color of paint on your wall.
Wood Paper Art Frames

Our wood paper art frames come in two finishes: natural wood and classic wood. The natural wood paper frames can give your artwork a more organic and charming appeal, while the classic wood provides a more solid and homey aesthetic. Ranging from emphasizing the natural feelings of wildlife art or adding some extra beauty to minimalist art, these wood frames are a great choice. Whether you want to match wood accents that are already in your space, or bring the wood look into your home with these frames, display your paper art in a beautiful way.
