Floating frames originate from several decades ago, where people used them to transport valuble canvas artworks around to exhibitions. The idea was to place the artwork in an L-Shaped outer frame with slight space around the canvas print which ensures enough distance between the surroundings and the canvas print during transportation for protection. However, presently, these frames have become an outstanding choice for the home décor enthusiast. One can easily find silver, golden and snowy frames to improve the overall style of the artwork, but a black floating frame is the choice of most artists.

What exactly are floating frame canvas prints?

Framed canvas prints are also named float frames as they display artworks with a slight twist of snug borders. They are designed to leave some intentional space around canvas print edges and create a suspended impression within the outer frame. It is also a way to add 3D effects and a sense of depth to the entire display.

What type of prints must be used with float frames?

Float frames can instantly upgrade the overall impression of canvas frames. They are also capable enough to present interesting details on the edges of the photo. Generally, full-bleed frames or matted framed prints draw attention from the entire picture; however, float frames can help to maintain a spotlight on the real details of the image.

The float frames are known for creating special visual space around the canvas so that they can stand out from the surroundings. The idea is the same as hanging framed artworks in galleries and museums. Therefore, you can choose any of your favorite landscape images or family photographs for designing floating canvas prints.

Whether you are working on home décor or are planning to install floating frames at the office, you can consider using some unique combinations of images from your collection. It is also possible to create a collage on the wall to achieve the desired appeal in the living room. Some of you may also love to install floating frames in the hallway and staircase. They can capture the eyes of visitors with ease at your place.
