My local shop is taking shape and will be opening in Sonoma County, California in May. I?ve had a few people stop by the studio and ask me about the picture frames I?m using to showcase the art and photography, so I?ve rounded up six frames I?ve used repeatedly (in the shop and in past spaces) that are both attractive and affordable for displaying mid to large scale wall art.
This natural wood frame with clean lines and a subtle curved detail is available at Target for print sizes 18×24? and 24×36?, pictured with the Sailor?s Delight art print.
 

 
This faux bamboo frame available in both gold and coffee finish is a new favorite for large scale 24×36? art over a mantel or bed. The gold is a hint shiny so I tone it down with Rub n?Buff in Gold Leaf. In the local shop, one of the botanicals from the curated vintage collection on Etsy is displayed in the gold tone faux bamboo frame.  

 
 
For a modern look, these thin gold matted frames are perfect for small to medium size art, I use them a lot for botanicals and landscapes because of the simple brushed gold frame with clean lines and the nice wide mat. Three sizes are available to frame 5×7?, 11×14?, 8×10?, and 11×17? artwork.
Here they are used to frame vintage botanical prints and the Sonoma kitchen remodel from last year and also above my painted campaign desk and in my local art shop.
 

 
For black and white art, I really like the pencil edge black frame by Stu...
