A frame moulding is the material used to create the frame around an artwork. It forms the visible border that surrounds the piece and plays an important role in its overall presentation.
Mouldings are available in a variety of materials, widths, profiles and finishes. Some are simple and understated, while others feature decorative details or more pronounced shapes.
When choosing a moulding, consider the artwork's style, colours, size and proportions. A fine, minimal frame can allow an image to take centre stage, while a wider or more decorative moulding can give it greater presence.
The right moulding should complement the artwork and help create a considered, balanced finish.
