Neutral Frames for Photos and Artwork 

Finding great photo frames can be challenging, especially with so many options online and in-person. You want something quality, but not overly expensive, and that looks right in the space you’re decorating. Here are some beautiful, neutral options if you are looking to frame any artwork or photos:

  1. West Elm Wheat Gallery Frames: These ones are the ultimate low-profile and simple frame with quite bit of negative space. They range from $35-$375, depending on size, and the mats that you choose. We love them for black and white photos, or very simple artwork.

  2. Terrace Floating Frames from West Elm: Another beautiful, very simple choice for an impactful wall without a lot of distracting elements. We love the way that they feature glass instead of a mat, and they look best in a more modern or mid century style.

  3. Pottery Barn Plain Wood Frame: This simple, beautiful option is under $50, and comes in a very universally useful 11x17” size. You can use these in a hallway, above a couch, or grouped with other items. As always, Pottery Barn is quality, and these frames have really nice seams and joints so they look more smooth.

  4. Mid-tone Neutral Frames from Target: If you are looking for something more affordable for a child’s room or a more temporary space where you may change things up more quickly, then Target can be a great option. These have particle board seams and a few staples on the backs, but they will give you a year or two, and they do hang nicely on the wall, so for under $20, it’s a good choice!

  5. Pottery Barn Gallery Set: This option is perfect if you have an area in your house that needs a small gallery that matches, such as over a mantle or in a hallway section. It includes three sizes, and is just over $120 for all three, so it’s relatively better quality for a longer-term display.


Neutral frames are a beautiful way to dress up areas of your home with a modern and stylish touch. If you want to find some great artwork to frame, consider checking out Minted.com, which has artwork by lesser-known new artists who are super talented!
