Perhaps you’re decorating a modern space or an industrial-style coffee shop, our metallic frames come in various shades and finishes that can complement your desired style. At Frame It Easy, we love seeing how metallic frames can add depth and brilliance to artwork and photos. Let’s dive into why metallic frames are a great choice, our metallic frame options, and how to incorporate them seamlessly into your decor.
What Makes Metallic Frames So Popular?
Metallic frames are popular because they are so versatile! If you’re going for an ornate-inspired look, it compliments a vintage look. If you choose a bronze or pewter frame, it lends well to an industrial-themed aesthetic. This versatility makes metallic frames an ideal option for framing just about everything from family photos to well…just about any piece of artwork. Additionally, metallic picture frames blend with almost any color palette and decor style. Here’s what makes metallic frames stand out:
- Sleek Aesthetic: Metallic frames have a clean, polished appearance that brings a contemporary, sophisticated look to your walls.
- Enhanced Visual Depth: The sheen of metallic frames adds dimension, making artwork pop and catching light beautifully, especially in spaces with natural or ambient lighting.
- Timeless Appeal: Unlike trendier frame styles, metallic frames often hold their appeal over time, complementing your changing decor preferences.
We have metallic picture frames in every color, size, and taste. We’ve listed ALL of our options here for you in one spot. So put your shades on, because your framing future is BRIGHT!
Metallic Picture Frames in Gold
Simply just elegant and classic, gold picture frames add a certain warmth to your decor. They’re a great choice for classic fine art pieces, old family photos, or vintage prints. Rose Gold metallic picture frames have a softer, more contemporary vibe. Our metallic pink frame offers a unique blend of sophistication and glitzy charm. Perfect for soft-toned artwork and whimsical decor, like our favorite Coquette Aesthetic trend.
Metallic Picture Frames in Silver
Both clean and contemporary, silver picture frames pair well with monochrome or cool-toned artwork. They’re perfect for black-and-white photography, minimalist line art, or nature prints.
Metallic Picture Frames in Brushed Metal
Brushed Pewter has a muted and subdued finish, a bit more matte than your average silver frame. This frame serves a subtle, modern look that doesn’t overpower the artwork. This option works well in minimalist and industrial spaces.
Brushed Bronze frames have a rich, earthy feel that brings warmth to your artwork. They’re especially popular in rustic or vintage-inspired spaces.

Choosing the Right Artwork for Metallic Frames
Metallic frames can enhance many artwork styles. Here are a few ideas to inspire your next framing project:
- Abstract Art: Bold, abstract pieces with vibrant colors look stunning in silver or gold metallic picture frames, as these frames add a sleek contrast without competing with the artwork.
- Family Photos: Metallic frames are a great choice for displaying family photos. Gold or silver frames bring warmth and create a sense of nostalgia, while silver frames offer a classic, clean look.
- Black-and-White Photography: Silver frames are a popular choice for black-and-white photos. The metallic edge complements the grayscale tones, adding a polished touch.
- Watercolor Prints: Soft, watercolor art pairs beautifully with brushed pewter or rose gold frames. These subtle finishes enhance the artwork without overshadowing it.
- Vintage Posters: Bronze frames lend an industrial touch that complements vintage posters or art with a historical feel. They’re a great choice for creating an old-world vibe in any space.
Incorporating Metallic Frames into Your Decor
Metallic picture frames are surprisingly versatile and can be adapted to various decor styles, from modern to traditional. Here’s how to make metallic frames work in your home:
1. Create a Metallic Gallery Wall
A gallery wall made up of metallic frames in different finishes can be a stunning focal point. Try mixing our silver, gold, and bronze frames for an eclectic look that feels sophisticated. Display a mix of family photos, artwork, and personal mementos to give it a personalized touch.
2. Highlight a Single Statement Piece
If you have a large, impactful piece of art, consider framing it in a metallic frame to make it the star of the room. A simple silver or gold frame can add just the right amount of elegance to a statement piece, letting the art speak for itself.
3. Mix Metallic and Wood Frames
Combining metallic and wooden frames adds depth and contrast to your decor. Try placing a metallic frame alongside wood picture frames to achieve a balanced, layered look.
4. Add Metallic Frames to Shelf Displays
Frame smaller pieces (as small as 5″ X 5″) in metallic frames and place them on shelves alongside other decor elements like plants or candles. Silver and rose gold frames are particularly well-suited for shelf displays, as they reflect light and draw attention without drawing too much attention to the space.
Final Tips for Choosing Metallic Frames
- Consider the Color Scheme: Match your frame color with tones in the artwork or room decor for a cohesive look.
- Match Hardware: Match your metallic frame color with the hardware in the room for a coordinated metallic masterpiece.
- Think About the Finish: High-shine frames (like our gloss gold and gloss silver options) create a sleek look, while matte or brushed finishes are more understated.
- Experiment with Mixing Metallics: Don’t be afraid to combine different metallic tones in the same room or gallery wall for a unique, eclectic look.
