In front of a colored wall, a picture in a clear white oak frame is a "star".
Stylish framing in white oak
New strong white oak wood strips - now also for visually dominant frames
Kirchen, September 20, 2024 - Whether graphics, photography or watercolors - works of art bring rooms to life and let them tell a story. Wooden frames emphasize the uniqueness of the artwork with their individual grain. Oak wood is the new trend wood - both in interiors and for framing pictures. In addition to the natural oak and black wooden slats, HALBE-Rahmen (www.HALBE-rahmen.de) is now offering the popular white oak wooden slat not only in profile width 10, but now also in profile widths 16 and 22 up to a format of 140 x 250 cm. With its slightly visible grain, the pure white frame has a natural look and allows the motif to take precedence.
White - the versatile trend color
White is timeless and never goes out of fashion. It reflects light more than any other colour. Interior designers and fashion designers love white because of its purity and versatility. In nature, colour exists in many beautiful shades. For years, white has been present at interior design fairs in Milan, Paris and Bologna. It is the perfect basis for a stylish ambience that radiates elegance and trend awareness at the same time. The best thing about it - white always fits. When it comes to framing works of art, white is an "all-round genius". Colorful motifs often appear even more intense in a white frame. With black and white pictures, the picture contrast is deliberately emphasized, because the white frame enhances the perspective depth effect, i.e. all light areas of the picture stand out more from the dark areas. On a colored wall, a white-framed work of art with predominantly bright image content is a "star" in the truest sense of the word. Whether architecture, landscapes or portraits - white frames give motifs from different genres a strong appearance without competing with them.
Magnetic frames in white oak - a classy and stylish look
Wooden frames not only look fantastic due to their characteristic grain, but also radiate a certain warmth. For some years now, oak has been the first choice for both interiors and picture framing. In addition to the popular wooden slats in natural oak and black, HALBE-Rahmen introduced a pure white oak slat wood 10 just over a year ago - which corresponds to a frame width of 13 mm.
The oak wood is lacquered in a beautiful bright white color. The fine wood grain shimmers slightly through the white lacquer and can be experienced to the touch. The elegant wooden frame quickly became an insider tip among art lovers, as it shows off many works of art on pure white FineArt papers or bright white photo papers to their best advantage. The frame does not impose itself on the viewer, but fades modestly into the background.
New: White oak strip in profile widths 16 and 22
The imagery is full of emotion and passion. Small picture details are often the icing on the cake, which only catch the viewer's eye with the right framing. In general, picture frames for small-format works of art should not be too wide and bulky. The situation is often different for larger pictures, where the frame can be more opulent - as the professionals at HALBE Rahmen are well aware. This is why HALBE Rahmen is now offering the popular clear white oak frame in two additional profile widths.
For small to large - the 16 mm wooden profile corresponds to a frame width of 17 mm and is a good choice if you are looking for a molding with pleasant proportions. It is ideal for works of art up to 120 x 140 cm. With a width of 22 mm and a depth of 40 mm, the 22 mm wooden profile offers additional volume and gives frames and pictures an impressive three-dimensional effect on the wall. The strip is perfect for large formats up to 140 x 250 cm. Exceptional works of art often require impressive framing - the 22 mm profile width is now also available for distance magnetic frames, which have a distance of 20 mm to the glass and enable floating framing.
passepartout: Not all white is the same
No matter how large a work of art is - as a classic stylistic device, art connoisseurs like to use a passepartout to enhance pictures. A white and antique white passepartout board in certified museum quality goes perfectly with the white oak frame. A natural white passepartout board, on the other hand, has a slight cream hue that literally clashes with the bright white strip color. A 3D sculpture can be displayed floating in a white oak spacer frame with white background board and white spacer strips - this is pure art.
As of now, HALBE-Rahmen is offering the popular clear white oak frame in three profile widths: 10, 16 and 22.
Large-format works of art require a more opulent frame than no pictures, which is why HALBE-Rahmen is now also offering the popular clear white oak frame in profile widths 16 and 22.
