But what’s the best way to frame your new artwork?
In this blog post, we will share some ideas that will inspire you.
Let’s get started.
Embrace the Nautical: Wood Frames
Nothing says “coastal” like a classic wood frame.
Think natural tones like driftwood grey, bleached white, or rich, warm brown.
The key is to choose a wood that complements your artwork and creates a cohesive look.
Tip:
For a more rustic touch, look for reclaimed wood frames or those with a distressed finish.
Modern Minimalism: Metal Frames
A sleek metal frame can add a contemporary touch if your artwork is more modern or abstract.
Silver, gold, or black frames can create a sophisticated contrast against the calming colors of your coastal art.
Tip:
Consider frames with a thin profile to allow the artwork to take center stage.
DIY: Create Your Frames
Are you feeling crafty? Create your frame with simple materials like wood molding, rope, or even driftwood you find on the beach!

Beyond Frames: Fabric Printing
Want to take your coastal art beyond the traditional frame? Consider getting it printed on fabric!
Tip:
Use a high-quality fabric like canvas or linen for a professional finish.
The fabric can create a unique pillow, throw blanket, or even a stunning tapestry, adding a touch of sophistication and style to your coastal-themed decor.
The Finishing Touches
Matting:
Adding a mat to your frame creates visual separation and enhances the artwork. Choose a mat color that complements the artwork and creates a harmonious look.
Glass or Plexiglass:
Protect your artwork with a clear glass or plexiglass cover.
This will protect your art from dust and damage and enhance its visual appeal.
Remember to clean the glass or plexiglass regularly to maintain the clarity of your art.
Hardware:
Use a sturdy hanger that can support the weight of your framed art.
Remember!
When framing your coastal art, consider where you’ll display it and choose a size and style that complements the room’s décor.
