Why Big Wall Art Works Best
Big wall art paired with your favorite frame is a fantastic solution for anyone who wants to make a bold statement without going as far as painting or remodeling. Because painting isn’t typically allowed in the office, oversized art is the ideal solution! Even better, it’s easy to change out your art when the mood strikes for a totally different vibe! Plus, oversized art lends itself to a more elegant-looking space.
So, whether you’re looking to find the perfect big picture frame to fill up a boring, blank wall in the office or you’re looking to switch up your current decor scheme without remodeling, oversized art is a brilliant way to add a pop of character to any room without breaking a sweat or your budget!
💡Here at Frame It Easy, we believe you should be able to frame any type of art, no matter the size! It’s why we offer affordable custom framing for any art up to 42″x 62″.
Styles Of Big Picture Frames
Which frames you choose for your large art are almost as important as the art itself! Luckily there are a variety of big-picture frame styles available to choose from, so explore your options and take your room decor into account before committing to anything. If you need a little inspiration, check out our frame style tips below to source the perfect frame for your space:
- For modern spaces – Look for thinner-faced frames in a black or white finish. Our Hanover and Ashford frames work well for contemporary rooms.
- For opulent or elegant spaces – You’ll want a character-filled frame with detailing in a metallic finish. Check out our Granby frame in Gold or Silver.
- For traditional or classic spaces – Frames with a thicker face in wood fill traditional spaces well. For a classic look, we recommend our Derby frame.
- For contemporary spaces – Colorful finish options are the important point here; our Hanover frame comes in fun colors like Red, Blue, or Green!
- For eclectic or whimsical spaces – To get an eclectic feel, mix and match frame styles. We recommend a metallic finish frame and a wood finish frame pair. Check out our Granby and Dayton frames as a starting point.
For a designer touch, don’t forget the matboard! Matboards are the perfect way to showcase your oversized art and add even more character to your favorite pieces. For modern and contemporary spaces, stick to a white matboard. For more eclectic spaces, select a colorful matboard. For traditional spaces, you’ll want a matboard in a more subdued color. And if you want to really impress your coworkers, try matching your matboard color to your official brand colors.

How & Where To Hang Oversized Art
Where you place your big wall art mostly depends on the size of your framed pieces and your available wall space. You can hang oversized work above a piece of furniture (like a desk or filing cabinets) or as a standalone piece on a wall. We recommend that your largest pieces be reserved for walls without furniture, as they create the biggest statement. Most other pieces can be situated above furniture.
For any art displayed above furniture, try to place your framed art 6-8 inches above it. For standalone pieces, the center of your big picture frame should be around 57-60 inches from the floor. If you have higher ceilings, you can bump that measurement up to 70 inches. If you’d prefer not to hang your artwork, you can create a stunning tabletop display using our EaselMateâ„¢ accessory!
