When it comes to adding wall art to your home, whether or not you’re going to invest in a frame becomes a key consideration, and whilst unframed prints can give a casual and cool look, framing your print instantly takes it to the next level.

When you add a frame to your piece, especially a high-quality frame that complements your interiors, the entire room feels elevated. Rather than coming across as rushed or unfinished, adding a frame to your artwork is one of the simplest ways to really take your decor to the next level. If you’ve been umm-ing and ahh-ing about investing in high-quality frames for your prints, here are some of the reasons adding frames should be a total no-brainer.

It Adds Structure and Finish

Unframed artwork can look edgy, sure, but it can also look unfinished. Frames provide visual boundaries and a sense of completion to your art doesn’t happen when you don’t add frames. A frame really is the cherry on top for your wall art, it finishes the look and brings attention to the prints whilst also complementing your other interiors.

Another added bonus of a frame is that it protects your artwork and keeps it looking fresh for longer. By adding a frame, you prevent your artwork from general wear and tear as well as dust so that your piece looks like it’s come straight from the gallery even after years in your home.

They’re Easier to Hang

At The House Outfit, all of our wall art frames come with pre-mounted fixtures, so there's no need for fuss or complicated DIY tasks. When you don’t frame your prints, the question of how you’re going to adhere them to the wall becomes a pretty major issue. Using thumbtacks will add holes to your prints, using blue tack can cause stains on the canvas or paper, and taping looks messy and unfinished. By using a frame, you can easily hang your prints to your wall with minimal damage.

If you have small pieces of artwork that you want to include in spaces other than your walls, small frames with a stand backing are going to be the perfect solution. These frames are able to stand on their own so they’re perfect for adding some personality to your shelves, desk or on top of your fireplace.

Customised for Your Interior

One of the main benefits of framing your artwork is that it adds an additional level of customisation to your space without you having to make any drastic changes. You can completely customise your frames to match your home. Whether it’s the colour, the finish or the material frames allow you to take your interior personalisation one step further.

Whether you’re thinking black frames, oak frames, gold frames or anything in between matching your frames to your aesthetic has never been so simple. Whether you’re after a boho look or you fancy yourself more of a minimalist, the right frame can effortlessly complement your vibe. The other benefit of frames? They’re not necessarily permanent! As your style changes and evolves, you can update your frames to match! It’s the perfect way to change up your interior styling without having to break the bank every time you’re looking for a change of scenery.

Gallery Wall Approved

Frames are the glue that holds your gallery wall together. By mixing and matching frame sizes and finishes you can make for a stunning and cohesive gallery wall that perfectly complements your space. Whether you choose to keep your frames monochromatic and instead choose to mix up the sizing, or you go all out on the mix and match, intentional gallery walls are always a great addition.

Gallery walls allow for so much versatility and variety when it comes to styling so that you can achieve your desired aesthetic with a combination of frames and prints that you can swap in and out as you please!
