Mastering the Art of Hanging Framed Artworks
By considering these factors, you can showcase your favorite pieces in a way that complements your space and highlights the beauty of each artwork.
What Types of Art Frames Work Best for Different Mediums?
Selecting the right frame for your artwork starts with understanding the medium you’re working with. Watercolor paintings, for example, often benefit from lightweight art frames with a matte finish that won’t overpower the softness of the piece. For oil or acrylic paintings, sturdy wooden or floating canvas frames are popular choices—they can support the weight of stretched canvas and highlight textured brushwork. If you're framing mixed media or pastel artworks, frames with a protective acrylic pane can preserve detail while maintaining clarity. Metal art frames suit more contemporary or minimalist styles, especially for graphic or abstract prints. The right frame ensures your work is not only well-protected but presented in the best visual context possible.

Absolutely—art frames today are available in a wide range of dimensions, profiles, and styles to suit everything from miniature illustrations to large-scale paintings. Square float frames work beautifully for modern compositions or symmetrical abstracts, while slim vertical frames enhance elongated drawings or portraits. For oversized or panoramic artwork, sturdy gallery art frames with reinforced corners and stable backing help prevent bowing or sagging. Artists working on non-standard canvas sizes can also find custom frames tailored to unique proportions. Frames for small artworks, such as ACEO cards or mini canvases, are often designed to emphasise detail while still offering protection. Having the right-sized frame not only supports the structure of your piece but also elevates its presence, especially in curated wall arrangements or formal displays.
