Shop custom wood picture frames made to your size for artwork, photos, posters, certificates, and canvas. Narrow the available mouldings by color, profile style, or artwork type. Then check the frame's face width and rabbet depth. Face width affects visual balance around the artwork; rabbet depth determines whether the artwork and selected mats, glazing, spacers, and backing will physically fit.
Use color to establish contrast, continuity, or a visual connection with the artwork. Black can create a defined edge; natural and brown finishes can repeat warm tones and visible grain; metallic finishes can echo details in paintings, documents, or decor. After choosing a color family, compare sheen and finish variation as well as color. Matte black, satin black, and distressed black can produce very different results. Order a moulding sample when the exact tone, grain, sheen, or metallic detail matters.

Profile shape and surface treatment give a wood frame much of its character. Flat or restrained profiles can keep attention on photography and modern prints, while scoops, steps, ornament, distressing, and wider profiles add visual weight. Plein air profiles create a substantial presentation for paintings. Standard canvas frames cover the canvas edge; canvas floater frames instead leave a visible reveal around the artwork.

The best wood frame must both suit the artwork and hold the complete framing package. Choose a starting path below, then compare finish, face width, profile shape, and rabbet depth within that collection. If you need help confirming dimensions, follow our artwork measurement guide.
Start with wood frames selected for photographs, prints, and paper art that may also need glazing, mats, and backing.
Compare profiles intended to give posters and larger graphic artwork enough visual presence without overwhelming the image.
Choose a traditional frame that covers the canvas edges, and verify that its rabbet is deep enough for the stretched canvas.
These collections begin with the artwork or occasion rather than a single finish. Their mouldings are selected to make the first comparison easier, but they are not one-size-fits-all recommendations. Check the artwork dimensions, desired mat or glazing package, face width, and rabbet depth before ordering.

Sale frames are custom cut like our other wood frames, but the available mouldings may change. Compare the same practical details you would in the full catalog: finish, face width, rabbet depth, and the components included in your design. A lower moulding price should not override the physical fit required by the artwork package.
The moulding is only one part of many framing packages. Paper artwork commonly needs glazing and backing, and mats can add separation and visual space around the image. Canvas is usually framed without glazing or a paper mat. Add only the components appropriate for the artwork, and include their combined thickness when checking the frame's rabbet depth.
Fabric-wrapped liners that add depth and a classic gallery look to wood frames.
Protective glazing options including clear, UV, and non-glare choices for framed artwork.
Rigid support boards that help stabilize artwork and finish the back of the frame.
These answers cover the practical decisions that apply across the standard wood-frame collections.
Wood frames can be configured for photos, prints, posters, certificates, paintings, and many canvases. The correct frame depends on more than appearance: its rabbet must be deep enough for the artwork and every selected mat, glazing, spacer, and backing layer.
Begin with the scale and visual weight of the artwork. Narrow profiles can keep small photographs and prints visually light, while medium or wide profiles can better balance large art, wide mats, or bold compositions. There is no universal frame-to-art ratio, so also consider the profile shape, finish, and final outside dimensions.
The rabbet is the recess behind the front lip of the frame that holds the framing package. Compare the listed rabbet depth with the combined thickness of the artwork, mats, glazing, backing, and any spacers. For canvas, compare it with the depth of the stretched canvas. A frame can look suitable but still be too shallow for the package. Read our rabbet depth guide for measurement details.
A sample is recommended when exact color, grain, sheen, metallic detail, or distressing matters. Screens and room lighting can change how a finish appears, and natural or hand-finished mouldings may vary. View the sample beside the artwork in the room where it will hang.
Choose wood when you want more profile variety, visible grain, texture, warmth, or decorative detail. Metal frames generally create a slimmer and more linear presentation. Base the final choice on the artwork, the required package depth, and the visual weight you want around it.
Yes, when the rabbet is deep enough for the stretched canvas. A standard frame covers the canvas edges and creates a traditional framed border. Compare canvas floater frames when you want the edges visible with a deliberate gap between the canvas and frame.
