Custom Floating Frames
Getting your photos, paintings, prints or any other pieces of artwork framed will make your art more attractive and fabulous. Without frames, you can’t store important memories and creations. It’s better to showcase them than store them anywhere just to keep them safe.
In choosing frames, we also have to make sure the quality of the materials used to build up a frame. There are frames that have a really low quality and can even destroy your artworks because of their durability issues.
One of the best frames people are always looking forward to is a floating frame. Want to know why? Because floating frames are more attractive and more decent to look at than any normal frames.
Materials and Sizes
Floating picture frames can be made out of wood or metal. They can be made in different sizes, depending on the artwork itself. The good thing about floating photo frames is how they will look when done. To use a floating frame, your artwork needs to be printed or painted on canvas. The canvas is stretched over a wooden frame and then securely attached to the back of the floating frame. This creates the signature “floating” effect, where the artwork appears to hover inside the frame without touching its edges. The result is a clean, modern presentation that beautifully enhances floating frame pictures while keeping the artwork safely supported.

FAQs
What is a floating frame?
A floating frame is a modern framing style where a stretched canvas is placed inside a frame with a small gap around the edges. This creates the illusion that the artwork is “floating” within the frame. The result is a clean, gallery-style presentation that enhances the depth and dimension of floating frame pictures.
Why choose a floating photo frame instead of a traditional frame?
A floating photo frame is ideal for showcasing artwork without covering the edges of the canvas. Unlike traditional frames, which sit flush against the artwork, floating frames create visual space that highlights the full canvas and gives the piece a contemporary, elevated look. It's perfect for anyone wanting a modern finish that draws attention to the artwork itself.
Are floating picture frames suitable for prints on canvas or pictures on canvas?
Yes, floating picture frames are specifically designed for stretched canvas pieces. They’re an excellent choice for prints on canvas, photography printed on canvas and painted canvases. The floating design frames the piece beautifully without needing glass, making it ideal for textured artwork.
What sizes, materials and finishes are available for floating frames?
Floating frames come in a variety of sizes to suit everything from small prints to large statement artworks. At Fantastic Framing, our floating frames are available in materials such as wood and composite finishes, with popular colour options including black, white, natural wood, oak and walnut. Whether you prefer minimalist, rustic or contemporary styles, there’s a floating frame to match your decor and your artwork.
Do floating frames require glass or acrylic covering?
No, floating frames typically do not use glass or acrylic. Since they are designed for stretched canvas, the artwork is displayed openly, allowing the texture and depth of the canvas to be fully appreciated. This creates the signature contemporary look that makes floating frames so popular.
How do I hang a floating frame once it’s ready?
Floating frames are easy to hang using standard hanging hardware, such as D-rings or wire, which we provide with every frame. Simply mount it on a secure hook or screw and ensure it is level. If you prefer expert assistance, Fantastic Framing also offers a professional hanging service to install your floating framed artwork safely and perfectly aligned.
