New! Distressed Black Frames for a Stylish Weathered Look

A single canvas print has the power to transform your space, but sometimes a frame is the answer to rounding out a look you’re trying to achieve. If you’re looking for a way to showcase your art, iCanvas’ all-new distressed black floating frames can give your art a rustic allure.

Visualize the difference between a framed and unframed canvas by observing the room above. Although both presentations are certainly pleasing to the eye, the distressed black floating frame anchors the art to the rest of the space in a cool, organic way.

Love the look of a distressed black frame but unsure of how to use it? Follow our simple rules of thumb below.

Play Up Black Accents In Your Print

If your art has black in its color scheme, using a distressed black floating frame can really make it pop, especially if the art has strong texture. Although each print above varies in style, subject, and color scheme, all have subtle black accents that create cohesion when framed in a shade of black that has an aged or weathered surface.


Complement Black Accents in Your Home

You can opt to frame your art in distressed black to create a variety of desired effects. This frame can give an art print more of a vintage finish, can help your print match softer or more muted black accents in your space, or can help establish a more “lived-in” vibe for your overall decor. While each room above is different than the next, the distressed black frames create a look that has raw and unpolished appeal.


Bring Dimension to a Colored or Patterned Wall

If your space has walls that aren’t a traditional white, adding a frame to your art can give it a more breathable dimension. Although each room above features a different patterned wall, the use of black in its overall decor is a consistent factor. From rustic nature to vintage Polaroid prints, the distressed black frame complements each print’s subject matter to help it fit natively within each space.
