We asked Team Framebridge (everyone from our CEO, to our custom gallery wall design team, to our retail store managers) the same question:
Drawing on both our personal styles and the latest interior design trends, here are the top five frames we think will achieve “add-to-cart” status this year–plus ideas for what to frame in each.
Frame details: Warm color, matte wax finish, part of ourAmerican Hardwoods Collection
Why we picked it: Just like with brass finishes, what's old is new again. And we're embracing cherry wood with open arms (and walls).
What to frame: Art or artifacts, particularly with green tones that contrast the warm wood nicely
"It’s our only hardwood with a satin finish and it basically glows when the light hits it! One thing I love about Cherry is that the color becomes richer over time. I think, because it’s a medium wood tone with a warm undertone, I could pair it with anything."
Juliette, Williamsburg Store Manager
Frame details:Saffron-colored, glazed, part of our Travel Collection
Why we picked it:2022 saw a lot of soothing, neutral palettes. 2023 is bringing bright, statement-making decor back in a big way!
What to frame: Colorful art prints, vacation photos, travel souvenirs
"Agra is one of my favorites from our travel collection. The subtly glossy, saffron yellow finish adds a gorgeous pop of color that enhances some of my favorite travel photos, especially those with an ocean or sky focus."
Kate, Director of Merchandising
Frame details: Fluting, understated, layered gold tones
Why we picked it: Expect to see a lot of "gentle gold" for 2023, a softer adaptation of the classic metallic.
What to frame: Diplomas, modern art, family recipe cards
"Georgetown glows with a just-right, layered gold finish–not too shiny, not too dull. It's fluted detailing reads classic and traditional, but I personally love mixing Georgetown with more modern, original art for a glam mix of old and new."
Julia, Director of Product
Frame details: Rounded edges, visible wood grain
Why we picked it: Burl wood had its first major moment in the 70s, and it’s come back in a big way the last few years. Marrakesh is our first burl style with rounded edges for that California cool vibe.
What to frame: Typography, black and white minimalist art, anything with a colored mat
"It was love at first sight for Marrakesh and me. Its rounded edges are relaxed and the taupe undertones feel clean and effortlessly cool. I’ve framed a large watercolor and a hand drawn illustration in Marrakesh and both turned out beautifully."
Hailey, Content Strategist
Frame details: Black, bold, wavy, rich
Why we picked it: Interior designers are moving away from minimalism and showing a renewed interest in more decorative styles and details.
What to frame: Geometric and art deco prints, black and white photos
"Rialto is the antidote to the straight line. It’s simultaneously soft and bold, playful and rich. I love the ubiquity of it —it can work in any home and mean something different to everyone."
Susan, Founder + CEO
