What Makes Floating Frames Different?
Floating frames are a contemporary framing solution that instantly elevates the presentation of your canvas prints, photos, and artwork. Unlike traditional frames, which cover the edges of the piece, a floating frame leaves a small gap between the frame and the artwork. This subtle design creates the illusion that your piece is “floating” inside the frame, giving it a gallery-style appearance and drawing attention to its full detail — including the wrapped edges of a canvas.
This design is ideal for homeowners, photographers, artists, and interior designers who want a clean, modern way to showcase their work. Whether you’re displaying a family portrait, a travel photo, or a large canvas painting, floating frames add depth and sophistication to any space.
Why Choose Floating Frames?
Modern Aesthetic: Floating frames have a clean, contemporary look that complements various interior styles, from minimalist to industrial. They’re particularly suitable for modern and creative spaces.
Enhanced Art Display: The floating effect emphasizes the artwork’s edges, making the piece appear as though it's suspended in space. This is perfect for canvas prints, as the texture and wraparound edges can be showcased.
Versatility: Floating frames work well with a range of materials, including canvas prints, photographs, and other artwork. Whether you’re framing a landscape, a portrait, or abstract art, floating frames can elevate the presentation.
Variety of Sizes and Colors: Floating frames come in a range of sizes, making them suitable for everything from small photos to large canvas prints. You can also choose from various colors and materials, including wood, metal, and acrylic, to match your décor.
Durability: Made from high-quality materials, floating frames are designed to last. Whether for a home, office, or gallery, floating frames provide long-lasting protection and style.

Choosing the Right Floating Frame for Your Artwork
When selecting a floating frame, consider:
Size: Measure your artwork carefully to ensure the right fit. We stock standard sizes as well as custom options for unique dimensions.
Color & Material: Match the frame’s color and material to your room decor and the mood of your artwork. Neutral tones suit most pieces, while bolder frames create a statement.

Looking for design ideas? Combine different frame colors and sizes to build a striking gallery wall, or use oversized floating frames for dramatic canvases that draw the eye.
