The Art of Frame Mounting: A Comprehensive Guide
The process of mounting art in a frame can profoundly enhance the aesthetic appeal of your creation. A well-framed artwork not only protects your masterpiece but also complements its beauty. The first step is to select a frame that suits your artwork. With our curated collection of high-quality frames available at The Sydney Art Store, you are assured of finding a perfect match for your piece. Once you have the frame, you will need to measure your artwork and cut a mat that fits both your art and the frame. It is crucial to ensure that the mat is cut precisely, providing a sturdy and attractive border for your artwork. After cutting the mat, it's time to mount the artwork. This step requires precision and careful handling to prevent any damage to the art. Once mounted, secure the artwork in place using acid-free tape. Finally, place the mounted artwork into the frame, secure it, and voila! Your framed artwork is ready to be displayed. With the right tools and materials from The Sydney Art Store, the process of mounting your art in a frame can be a seamless and rewarding experience.
How Do Floating Frames Enhance the Look of Canvas Art?
Floating frames are a standout option for canvas artworks, offering a clean, gallery-style presentation that gives the illusion of a frameless display. These frames are especially effective for contemporary pieces, textured paintings, and original canvases, allowing the edges of the artwork to remain visible and celebrated. This unique structure creates visual depth, with space between the canvas and frame that naturally draws the viewer’s eye inward. Artists and collectors often favor floating canvas frames for their modern elegance and ability to elevate even simple compositions. Available in a range of finishes—from natural oak to sleek black or white—they adapt well to any aesthetic. Whether you’re preparing a piece for exhibition or curating a wall at home, float frames deliver a professional, refined finish without distracting from the artwork itself.

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.
