From slim modern profiles to deep traditional mouldings, the style of frame you choose sets the tone for your whole display. Here's a quick guide to the main picture frame styles and where each one works best.
Slim and modern
Thin, simple profiles in black, white or wood keep all the attention on your picture. They suit contemporary interiors, photo prints and poster art, and look great grouped together on a gallery wall.
Classic and traditional
Wider, more decorative mouldings in wood tones or warm finishes bring a timeless, characterful feel – a natural fit for family portraits, traditional prints and period homes.
Box and 3D frames
Deep box frames create space behind the glazing so you can display objects as well as pictures – medals, memorabilia, pressed flowers or a treasured keepsake.
Mounted frames
A frame with a mount adds a clean card border around your picture for a gallery-style finish. Mounts make a print look more expensive and let a smaller picture sit in a larger frame.
Choosing a colour
- Black – bold, modern, and a strong match for monochrome prints.
- White – light and clean; blends into pale walls and suits minimal interiors.
- Wood (oak, beech, walnut) – warm and natural; works in almost any room.
- Metallics (silver, gold) – a touch of glamour for special prints and artwork.
