Barnwood Frames: A Versatile Decor Option
Barnwood Frames are a surprisingly versatile framing medium. The neutral colors lend themselves to dozens of different decor styles, and the natural tones and textures fit with everything from primitive decor to more formal modern decor. We offer dozens of different styles and sizes of barnwood frames. In fact, you'll find that we offer the mosts extensive selection and some of the best pricing available anywhere.
Barnwood refers to a wide variety of natural reclaimed woods - everything from "authentic barnwood," which is removed from actual barns and farm outbuildings, to "reclaimed rustic wood," which comes from a variety of sources including reclaimed wood fencing, snow fencing (large wood fences used to keep snow from drifting over highways) and wooden siding. We harvest wood in many tones and hues--everything from dark browns to light sunwashed tans. Typical barnwood is grayish in color, but one of the distinctive things about barnwood is that some pieces offer a lot of color variation. The more variation in color and grain, the more valuable the wood.
Our barnwood frames are handcrafted one at a time, and most of the rustic wood frames available on our site are made-to-order. That means we take the time to carefully select and color match each piece of wood so that your finished wood frame is as distinctive as the art you put in it. And distinctive is certainly the best word for it. We’ve had customers purchase our rustic wood frames for everything from gallery-quality oil paintings to simple family snapshots. Barnwood makes a great background for landscape photography, for black and white prints and for vintage signs, labels and art. And if you choose the right frame, you can even use barnwood frames to display 3-dimensional artwork such as antique family heirlooms, dried or silk florals, and even rustic Christmas ornaments.
Advantages of Barnwood Frames
Because they are crafted from natural wood, the colors will never go out of style or look “dated."
Because they are handcrafted from reclaimed wood, barnwood frames are a “green,” and eco-friendly decorating medium.
The neutral tones and colors make barnwood the perfect raw material for creating a completely unique frame. After purchasing a basic barnwood frame, you can add rusted metal cutouts, a light stain or wash of color, a twist of rope or vine, a pretty rustic ribbon, or even a wrought iron embellishment to create a truly one-of-a-kind frame that you can claim as your own work of art.
It is simple to group different sizes and shapes of barnwood frames together into a large collage or wall display and still have the whole group look like it “belongs” together.
