WHAT ARE FLOATER FRAMES?

So what exactly is a canvas floating frame, and when and how should we use them? Read on for all you need to know to get started!

Ideal for prints or paintings made on canvas, as in its name, a floating frame creates a “floating” effect on the art that’s inside. That is, the canvas appears suspended within the frame without touching any of the sides, adding a dimensional effect with visual impact.

These picture frames are an especially desirable option for when you’re seeking a modern look, an upscale presentation, and/or a museum-like effect. They’re especially great for canvases whose art wraps around the sides, as the extra space allows for viewing the entire thing, sides and all – whether that’s an extension of the image or texture on your canvas.

Overall, they’re a great way to elevate the feel of both the canvas art and the space around it.

 

No glass or acrylic front is needed. All of my original acrylic paintings are protected with a coat of varnish, to keep your canvas paintings protected and sound.
