The right frame puts the finishing touch on art. Brass and gold has been trending for a while, but until recently, it’s been hard to find a good minimal brass metal frame.
I have gathered six of my favorite frame options at varying quality and price points to help narrow down the perfect picture frame hunt.
Here are my favorites:
gallery brass frame – cb2 | gallery frame – West Elm
brushed brass – Crate & Barrel | profile frame – Room & Board
metal frame – Target | gold frame – JDC Goods
As you can see, some of the frames are a bit pricey, others are less so.
My sister has the West Elm brass frame in her house and it’s heavy and nicely made. See it below in her newly remodeled kitchen/dining room:
Because it’s in a prominent spot, it is nice to have a great looking, quality frame. Plus, hers is large with a big mat and really gives that custom look to an 8×10 art print. (ps. their house is so pretty. Here is a tour of the kitchen.)
I have a smaller version of the same West Elm frame in our house, too:
If the budget does not allow for lots of money on frames, give the Target version or the one from my house + home shop a try. They are certainly not as heavy, but when up on a wall, who can tell?!
We just restocked the frames in the shop (and they tend to sell out fast!). They are a great, simple frame and come in three sizes. Grab one here.
Also, don’t be afraid to mix metals! I’m a big fan of the collected and casual look of mixing different types of metals, wood, black and white throughout the house and even on the same wall (or on top of the piano, as was the case in our old house).
A minimal metal frame feels classic and timeless. If you’re looking for the perfect brass or gold-toned frame, I hope my picks are helpful!
Hi Emily,
I love the JDC brass picture frame. Unfortunately the 11×14 is sold out in the shop. Do you know if it will be restocked soon?
Thanks!
We just placed an order to restock. It usually takes a couple of weeks to get them in, but I’ll let everyone know once they are!
Love the frames and your home. Looking for the shirt from Target. Any additional info.?
So, so excited for you in this new endeavor! Your work has always been so beautiful, and now for you to take it into a new marketplace is so exciting!!
Love continuing to see you press through and shine for the Lord : ) an inspiration to the rest of us moms!
Thank you for the kind comment! There was quite of bit of ‘pressing through’ on this one and I’m thankful for the opportunity! xoxo
Thank you for the sweet compliments. :)
