(And How To Style Yours)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Ever heard of floating frames<\/a>, and wondered what they actually are<\/em>? If so, you\u2019re not alone. Floating frame prints are relatively new, but have grown quickly in popularity. A floating frame for canvas pictures can offer a more chic, contemporary look for your wall art as it mimics the look of a gallery artwork.<\/p>\n

Gallery artworks often use floating frames so that the artwork isn\u2019t touching the frame itself, as artworks can often be delicate. This framing technique ensures the artwork is preserved for longer.<\/p>\n

This is because the picture itself sits away from the frame, instead of disappearing behind the frame itself.<\/p>\n

Most floating frame canvas prints use a wooden frame on the outside, with a slight gap in between the frame and the edge of the canvas picture. The frame gives definition to the picture itself, and creates visual space around the canvas, so the eye can better appreciate it.<\/p>\n

This is a decided advantage, as the texture of the canvas print is often what gives your print depth, creating an interesting look.<\/p>\n

Unlike other frames, floating frames allow you to see all the way to the edge of the artwork. That means that none of your beautiful picture will be obscured by the frame.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt floating frame prints look elegant and sophisticated in any home. But how do you decide if your wall art or canvas prints will look better with<\/em> a frame, or without<\/em>?<\/p>\n
