Matboards For Gold Frames
The key to getting the perfect designer look for your framed art is to add a matboard! Matboards help give your piece a polished, refined look that draws your eye to the art or photography housed in it. Luckily we have a few tasteful options to give you inspiration in your framing journey!
For a classic look, you can’t go wrong with a white matboard. It’s every framer or designer’s default choice for good reason: White matboards look great no matter what art or photography they’re paired with. This is why we recommend, at a minimum, adding a white matboard to your framed art.
For a more creative option, we also offer a classic and frosted gold matboard option! So if you’re a fan of metallics, you’ll definitely want to explore these! Beyond that, if you’d like to introduce color to your space, try matching a matboard color to a throw pillow, rug, or curtains in your room. It’ll give your space a more curated look!

- Hanging artwork above a couch or table? The recommended measurements are 6 to 8 inches above the furniture piece.
