Your business’s artwork is not just nice to look at; it plays a crucial role in setting the tone for the space. Whether you’re displaying company awards in the lobby of your business or art from local artists in your coffee shop, the right frame will make a lasting impression. Choosing the perfect frame involves balancing aesthetics, durability, and your brand identity. How can you make the right pick?
Look Around the Space
Your business artwork should blend seamlessly with the rest of your interior design. When choosing the perfect frame, consider your existing color palette, furniture style, and the overall ambiance of the room where it is being placed. For contemporary spaces, metal or poly frames in neutral colors like black, silver, or white can create a clean, professional look. For more traditional offices, wood frames in rich tones like mahogany or cherry add warmth and elegance.
Think About Durability
Frames come in a variety of materials, and some are more durable than others. For example:
- Wood Frames: These frames are classic and timeless, and they are available in various finishes and stains.
- Metal Frames: Metal frames are sleek and modern and often used for contemporary artwork.
- Poly Frames: These frames are best for commercial settings as they look great while being budget friendly.
Our team can guide you through the process of choosing the perfect frame for anywhere in your business, as well as evaluating how durable each piece needs to be.
Consider Your Brand
Your artwork should align with your brand’s aesthetic. A sleek, minimalist frame may be perfect for a modern tech company, while a classic wooden frame may be a better option for a restaurant or a luxury retailer. Choosing the perfect frame means selecting colors, materials, and styles that complement your brand’s image and reinforce your company’s professionalism. We can walk you through a variety of options, finishes, and colors that could be a great fit for your company.
Choose the Right Mat
Mats make framed artwork look more polished and professional, and they provide a necessary separation between the glass and the piece itself. When picking the mat for your artwork:
- Color: Choose a mat that complements both the artwork and your other office décor
- Size: A wider mat can create a bold, museum-quality effect, while a thinner mat keeps the focus on the artwork
- Material: Acid-free mats prevent discoloration and deterioration over time
Think About Scale and Placement
Before choosing the perfect frame, consider the ideal size for the finished framed piece based on where you’re going to hang or display it. Oversized artwork can be a statement piece in a conference room, while smaller, grouped frames work well in hallways or reception areas. Making sure that your frames are appropriately scaled will prevent them from overwhelming or underwhelming the space.

Professional framers have a great deal of expertise in selecting the best materials and styles for your specific needs. They can recommend the right framing techniques to protect and enhance your artwork while ensuring a polished, professional look that reflects your brand.
