This simple, contemporary, dark walnut or espresso colored picture frame features a veneer over softwood, providing an economical alternative to solid hardwood. The profile is 11/16” wide, with a 9/16” rabbet depth that is ideal for matted artwork such as watercolor, prints, posters, and photography.
The clean, simple look of an espresso finish over a flat, thin profile highlights a neutral feel that accommodates a versatile array of interior design styles, from urban contemporary and Japanese minimalist, to Jacobean and Spanish Renaissance, though the simplicity of the profile is innately more contemporary than historic.
Possible genres, styles, or types of art that might pair nicely with this simple, picture frame include colorful watercolor sketches, monochromatic brown color schemes, coffee themes, home decor for the kitchen, poems, inspirational posters, fine art prints, and school portraits.
Mat board colors that may complement this simple espresso picture frame and enhance your art include colors from our acid free archival selection of mats, such as Dove 9806, Ivory Art 9808, Batter 9600, Devonshire 9860, Harvest Brown 9835, and Top Soil 9591.
Finally, consider this frame for original art on thin, rigid hardboard panels or canvas boards. This option does not require glazing or mats, as the painting should instead be varnished appropriately based on the medium of the art. If your canvas is stretched on a stretcher bar, it might be too deep for this simple espresso picture frame.
