How to Choose the Right Frame for Your Western Print
Share
The frame is the finishing touch—it sets the tone, tells the story, and makes it yours.
When it comes to styling your western print, the art is only half the equation. The frame you choose can completely shift the look and feel of your space. Whether you're going for rugged and rustic or clean and modern, your frame speaks just as loudly as the print inside it.
Here’s how to choose the right frame for your western wall art.
1. Match the Mood, Not Just the Color
Don’t just ask, “Does this match the couch?” Instead, ask: “What feeling am I trying to create?”
- Walnut or natural wood frames evoke warmth, texture, and tradition. They pair beautifully with prints like Desert Dusk Rider or Dust-Off.
- Black frames create contrast and drama—perfect for bold typographic pieces like GIDDY UP or Bold HOWDY.
- White frames offer a clean, gallery-style finish that works great in bright, minimal spaces (think Santa Fe or Echo Rise).
2. Consider the Room’s Style
Match your frame to your interior design style:
- Modern farmhouse or rustic homes → go for natural wood or distressed finishes
- Mid-century or desert modern spaces → consider clean lines with walnut or matte black
- Eclectic or boho spaces → whitewashed wood or lighter frames keep things airy
Your frame should complement the room, not fight it.
3. Think About the Print’s Personality
Some prints are loud. Others are subtle. Some are about place. Some are about mood. Let the print guide you.
- For landscape or scenery prints, like Moab or Canyon Light, wood tones help ground the piece.
- For text-based prints, a sharp black or crisp white frame enhances the message and adds modern polish.
- For vintage-feel prints, look for frames with a slightly weathered or matte finish.
4. Don’t Overthink It—Go With What Feels Right
The best frame is the one you love. Western style is all about authenticity, and that includes how you decorate.
Trust your gut. If a black frame feels right for your space—even if it breaks “the rules”—go for it. At the end of the day, the best styling choice is the one that makes your space feel like you.
