Selecting the Perfect Frames for Small Artworks at The Sydney Art Store
At The Sydney Art Store, our goal is to inspire creativity and excellence among artists. We believe that the right frame can accentuate your art, turning it into a captivating focal point. Our curated range of frames not only provides the necessary support and protection for your small artworks but also complements their aesthetic appeal, providing a seamless artistic process from creation to display.
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.

While aesthetics are a major consideration, a frame’s role in preserving artwork is equally crucial. Frames shield art from physical damage, dust, and environmental stressors, especially for delicate materials like paper, pastel, or textiles. Options like acrylic glazing provide a lighter, shatter-resistant alternative to glass, often with UV protection to guard against sun damage. For framed prints or drawings, acid-free mats and backings help prevent discoloration and degradation. Floating frames for canvas work double duty by allowing airflow around the piece while securely housing it. Proper framing reduces handling and contact with surfaces, particularly for collectible or gallery-bound pieces. Whether preparing art for an exhibition or a personal collection, investing in high-quality frames ensures the work remains intact and visually compelling over time.
What Types of Float Frames Does The Sydney Art Store Offer?
The Sydney Art Store’s float frame range is ideal for artists looking to elevate their canvas work with a clean, gallery-style finish. Available in natural wood tones, black, and white finishes, these frames are designed to create a subtle border that makes the artwork appear to “float” within the frame. Compatible with standard stretched canvases, the float frames are easy to install and ready to hang, making them a go-to solution for both amateur and professional artists. Our premium construction supports large-scale or heavily textured work, while lighter options offer convenience for travel or group exhibitions. Whether you’re framing a bold abstract or a detailed oil painting, our float frames enhance visual impact while ensuring a secure and lasting display. They're the perfect mix of minimalism and functionality.
