Choosing the Right Frame: A Style Guide for Every Aesthetic
How to Choose the Right Frame for Your Style
So, you’ve got the perfect photo, print, or piece of art—and now you're wondering, how do I actually frame this thing to match my space? You’re not alone. With so many styles and frame finishes to choose from, finding the right fit for your walls can feel like trying to pick a paint color at the hardware store—overwhelming, but oddly fun.
The good news? No matter your aesthetic—whether it’s clean and modern or full of vintage charm—there’s a custom frame out there that’s just right for you. Let’s walk through some of the most popular interior styles and the frame choices that make them shine. (Spoiler: Custom framing is always a good idea.)
1. Minimalism: Sleek, Simple, and Timeless
If your space is all about clean lines, neutral palettes, and “less is more” energy, then minimalist framing is your soulmate. Black or white custom frames are your go-to—they blend seamlessly with your space while keeping the focus on what’s inside. Prefer something ultra-modern? Acrylic floating frames give your art a light, airy look that’s practically made for a minimalist wall.
Minimalist interiors love symmetry and simplicity, so consider a gallery wall with matching frames for a subtle statement. Bonus points if you align the tops perfectly (your inner perfectionist will thank you).
2. Boho Chic: Eclectic, Earthy, and Personal
Bohemian decor thrives on warmth, personality, and layers of texture—so your frame choice should reflect that spirit. Think natural wood frames with warm undertones or distressed finishes that add a bit of character. Bonus points for mixing and matching frame sizes and colors—it’s all part of the boho charm.
Custom framing can help bring balance to your beautifully busy space. Use it to elevate your favorite piece (even that festival photo from 2009) and give it a well-deserved moment on your wall.
3. Modern Farmhouse: Cozy Meets Contemporary
Modern farmhouse style is all about blending rustic comfort with modern accents. Go for whitewashed wood frames, matte black custom frames, or even barnwood-inspired textures. They pair beautifully with family portraits, botanical prints, or handwritten recipes that have been passed down for generations.
A custom frame with a soft mat adds a polished touch without taking away from the lived-in, homey vibe that makes this aesthetic so popular. It’s Pinterest-worthy, but still totally personal.
4. Maximalism: Bold, Vibrant, and Unapologetic
If your motto is “more is more,” we’re here for it. Maximalist spaces thrive on color, pattern, and big personality—so don’t be afraid to make bold frame choices. Custom frames in gold, jewel tones, or deep woods add drama and complement your existing statement pieces.
Floating frames can work here too—especially if you’re trying to create contrast with a loud wallpaper or textured wall. Pro tip: Create a floor-to-ceiling gallery wall and lean into the chaos. It’s curated magic.
The Bottom Line: Let Your Frame Fit Your Style
No matter your decor style, custom framing offers the perfect way to tailor your favorite pieces to your space. It’s not just about protecting your art—it’s about enhancing it, elevating it, and making it feel you. Whether you're a minimalist who loves clean edges or a maximalist building a museum-worthy wall, we’ve got a frame that fits your vibe (and your space).
