Choosing the Perfect Frame for Modern Art with The Sydney Art Store
Modern art pieces are distinct and often require a unique approach when it comes to framing. The best frame for modern art is often one that complements the artwork without overpowering it. The Sydney Art Store offers a variety of high-quality framing options that cater to the diverse aesthetics of modern art. Whether your artwork is vibrant and bold or minimalistic and subdued, choosing the right frame can enhance its visual appeal and longevity. Our collection of frames is meticulously curated, ensuring that they provide not just support and protection for your artwork, but also contribute to its overall presentation. With our framing solutions, you can confidently display your modern art, knowing that it's housed in a frame that complements its style and preserves its condition.
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.
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.
