How Do Different Frame Styles Transform Your Artwork?

The style of frame you choose completely changes how people perceive your artwork. It's like choosing between wearing sneakers or dress shoes with the same outfit - same outfit, totally different vibe.

  • Neutral colors (black, white, natural wood) work with any decor
  • 2 cm width provides presence without overwhelming
  • Perfect for: Contemporary art, photography, botanical prints, abstract pieces

Ornate Traditional Frames

  • Decorative details and wider profiles - Make a statement alongside the art
  • Rich colors and textures - Add luxury and formality
  • Best for: Classical art, vintage prints, formal dining rooms

Industrial/Raw Frames

  • Metal construction or distressed wood - Add edge and texture
  • Darker, moodier tones - Create dramatic contrast

Should You Always Buy Frames from Your Poster Store?

Here's the honest truth: while we believe our frames offer excellent quality and value, the most important thing is that you're happy with your choice.

Why Can Our Picture Frames Be The Perfect Choice For Your Arts?

Quality, durability, aesthetics - these were the main considerations when we selected our picture frames for the Japandi.Art artworks.


A good quality frame characteristics

Not all frames are created equal, and the difference isn't always obvious at first glance. But trust us - after a few months on your wall, you'll definitely notice the difference between quality construction and corner-cutting manufacturing.

  • Made from hardwood that won't warp, bend, or crack over time
  • European sourced wood with sustainable practices
  • Clean, precise corners that stay tight, joints that won't separate over time
  • Consistent thickness and smooth finish
  • Plexiglass front panel instead of real glass (safer and lighter)
  • MDF backing board for stability and moisture resistance
  • Quality hanging hardware that won't fail
  • Proper depth for secure mounting (2.5cm from wall)
  • Accurate measurements that fit your artwork perfectly
  • Smooth edges and consistent color

Why 2cm width and 2.5cm depth work perfectly?

This combination provides enough visual weight to look intentional and professional without overwhelming smaller artworks. The depth creates subtle shadows that add dimension, while the width provides a clean border that works with any interior style.


And what about the other picture frame parts?

Plexiglass advantages

  • Lighter weight - Easier to hang, less stress on wall anchors
  • Shatter-resistant - No dangerous glass shards if broken
  • UV protection - Many types filter harmful light
  • Clearer optics - Less green tint than regular glass
  • Easier shipping - Won't break in transit

For home wall art, plexiglass is usually the smarter choice. It's safer around kids and pets, easier to handle during hanging, and provides better protection for your artwork.


MDF backing boards

Nobody sees the back of your frame once it's hung, but the backing material affects your artwork's longevity and the frame's stability.

  • Stable and flat - Won't warp with temperature changes
  • Moisture resistant - Protects artwork from humidity
  • Smooth surface - Won't scratch or damage prints
  • Consistent thickness - Ensures even pressure on artwork
  • Removable design - Secured with flexible metal tabs for easy access if needed

Quality hanging systems include

  • Two metal sawtooth hangers - One positioned for portrait, one for landscape orientation
  • Appropriate weight rating - Won't fail under normal use
  • Secure attachment - Hard pressed into the back panel, not just glued
  • Flexible metal tabs - Allow easy access to backing for maintenance or artwork changes

Our frames come with dual metal sawtooth hangers already installed, positioned specifically for both portrait and landscape orientations. The MDF backing is secured with flexible metal tabs, making it easy to access the interior if needed or even reuse the frame with different artwork in the future.


Playing with colors - How Do Frame Colors Affect Your Interior Design?

The color of your frame is like choosing the right foundation shade - get it right, and everything looks polished; get it wrong, and nothing quite works.

Black frames

  • Create strong contrast - Make colors pop
  • Feel modern and sophisticated - Work with contemporary and industrial styles
  • Hide imperfections - Scratches and wear less visible
  • Best with: Bright artwork, white walls, modern interiors

White frames

  • Blend seamlessly - Especially with white or light walls
  • Feel clean and fresh - Perfect for Scandinavian and minimalist styles
  • Brighten artwork - Reflect light back onto the piece

Natural wood frames

  • Add warmth and texture - Bring organic elements indoors
