The Art of Framing: How to Choose the Right Frame for Your Artwork

Ever stared at a piece of art and felt like something was missing? Chances are, it wasn’t the artwork — it was the frame.

Framing isn’t just decoration — it’s transformation.

With the right frame and mat, your artwork goes from print to pride of place 💫

Let’s walk you through the art of framing — so your next piece from RareMango doesn’t just fit your wall... it elevates your entire space.

The Transformative Power of Matting

Mats are like a deep breath around your art — they give the piece room to shine. ✨

✔️ A mat is the inner border that separates the artwork from the frame.

✔️ It draws the eye inward, adds depth, and protects the artwork from touching the glass.

Pro Tips for Matting:

  1. Off-white or cream for a clean, timeless feel 🕊️
  2. Deeper shades (pulled from the artwork’s palette) to add richness and mood 🎨
  3. Double mats for gallery-style depth and dimensionality

💡 Try matting with artworks from our Abstract Collection or Minimalist Line Art to enhance their textures.

🖼️ To Frame or Not to Frame?

Frames protect your art and complete the visual composition — but they’re also style-defining.

At RareMango, you’ll find:

  1. Black & white matte finishes for clean elegance
  2. Espresso & light grain wood for warm, earthy vibes

When to Frame:

  1. For a timeless touch on prints or posters
  2. When you want to protect paper-based artworks
  3. If your decor demands structure and contrast

🧠 Expert Tips for Picking the Right Frame

Consider the Era

Ornate frames, perfect for Pichwai Cow paintings or vintage travel art.

Architecture-Inspired

Minimal home? Sleek black or metal frames match beautifully. More classical decor? Go for sculpted moldings and warm woods.

Make it Suite

Use identical thin black frames for gallery walls. Mix metals for a curated, eclectic aesthetic

Color = Bold Move

Try a teal or ochre frame with Bohemian Dream Artworks for contrast. 🌈

Layer With Care

No more than 3 visual elements (art + mat + frame) to avoid clutter

Let Art Shape the Frame

Use floater or gallery-wrap styles for canvas or oddly-shaped pieces.

💬 Final Thoughts: The Frame is Part of the Story

Framing is where function meets flair. It’s not just about how art is displayed — it’s about how it’s remembered 🧡
