What is a floating frame?
A floating frame is a modern, stylish frame in which a painting or canvas appears to “float” freely. As the name suggests: the canvas sits in a wooden tray without the frame covering the front. This creates a luxurious, spacious effect and ensures that your artwork remains fully visible.
Why choose a floating frame?
- Fully visible: the painting is not overlapped by the frame
- Floating effect: the canvas seems to hover inside the frame
- Versatile: suitable for both modern and classic interiors
- Protection: the canvas is firmly secured and stays in place
A floating frame is ideal for stretched canvases on stretcher bars and can be used for paintings, photo prints on canvas and artworks. Thanks to its clean lines, a floating frame suits any interior, from minimalist to traditional.
How does the sizing work?
A floating frame is always made 1 cm larger than the canvas or painting. This is necessary to correctly place and align the artwork.
Example
If you have a painting of 50 × 70 cm, order a floating frame of 50 × 70 cm. We automatically make the inside size 51 × 71 cm so the canvas fits perfectly and appears to float.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I order the same size as my painting?
Yes. Always order the same size as your canvas. We make the floating frame 1 cm larger, so it fits perfectly.
Can I also order custom sizes?
Yes. We also produce custom floating frames. For special requests we allow an extra 2 cm margin per side for a stronger floating effect. Please contact us for custom sizes or colors.
Will my canvas always fit?
Yes. Thanks to the extra space around the edges, the canvas can always be easily positioned and secured. This creates the real floating effect.
