Frame Choice: The Detail 90% of People Get Wrong

Title: Wrong Frame, Wasted Painting

The frame contributes at least 30% of the final look.

Four frame styles:

① Frameless (gallery-wrapped canvas)
Best for: Modern, minimalist, Scandinavian
Pros: Light, versatile
Cons: Edges collect dust

② Thin metal frame (gold/black/white)
Best for: Luxe, French, modern
Pros: Refined, elevates instantly
Tip: Gold for warm-toned art, black for cool-toned

③ Wood frame (natural/walnut)
Best for: Japandi, Scandinavian, mid-century
Pros: Warm, natural
Tip: Natural wood for landscapes, walnut for vintage art

④ Wide ornate frame (carved/distressed)
Best for: American, French, vintage
Pros: Strong presence, museum feel
Caution: Avoid in small spaces

Frame rules:
Warm art → warm frame. Cool art → cool frame.
Minimal space → thin frame. Vintage space → wide frame.
Unsure? Go frameless or thin black. Always safe.
