Framing trends in 2020
20 September, 2020

Already more than halfway through 2020. For many people, home improvement and interior design projects are a priority after lockdown.

The art world is a fast-moving industry. Trends come and go, and each year there are new surprises as to what is popular.

Framing Trends 2020

Trendy Colours

Neutral-coloured frame mouldings such as silver and gold tones as well as greys and blues with neutral and white mount boards are currently very popular.

Mix it Up

Gone are the days where everything needs to match perfectly. Instead of having frames all in the same colours, shapes and sizes, you can mix things up. Think of creating a gallery wall that is an eye-catching display of complementary colours, varying sizes and even a few different textures.

At The Cow Artworks, we not only have a wide selection to help make this happen but can also help you choose the right frame mouldings to create a display that ties together nicely.

Shadow Boxes

Also known as box framing. A fun wall art trend for 2020 is using shadowboxes. They can show off anything from a guitar to a family heirloom. These display cases add dimension to your walls and give you the opportunity to showcase some statement pieces outside of the ordinary. Here are some shadow box picture frame ideas to get you started: vintage keys; a vintage recipe and mixing spoon; old passports, airline tickets and travel souvenirs; wedding memorabilia; a tribute to a beloved pet; medals and awards; or vintage jewellery; the possibilities are endless…

Frame, Set & Match!

After 18 years in the IT industry, Doreen decided to surround herself on a daily basis by photography that she loves which led to the establishment of The Cow Artworks in 2004. In March 2006 she opened the gallery in Parkhurst and has thrived in this beautiful space. Her passion for travel affords her the opportunity to take photographs, particularly candid shots of street scenes, graffiti and architecture.
