Choosing the Right Frame for Your Christian Wall Art

You’ve found the perfect piece of Christian wall art—maybe it’s a Scripture that speaks deeply to your season, or a peaceful landscape paired with a verse you’ve prayed over your family for years. Now comes the next step: choosing the right frame to bring it all together.

As a Christian artist and mom, I get it—your home isn’t just a place to decorate; it’s a place where your faith lives, breathes, and is passed down. The frame you choose matters not just for aesthetics, but for how that truth-filled piece fits into your home and heart.

Let’s walk through how to choose the best frame for your Christian wall art—so your home feels both beautiful and grounded in what matters most.


1. Start with the Space

Where will your art live?

  • Entryway: Choose a bold, welcoming frame that makes a statement. Natural woods or blacks work beautifully for verses like “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
  • Living Room: Go with something warm and versatile—light oak or weathered wood frames often complement both modern and cozy farmhouse styles.
  • Bedroom or Nursery: Soft white, cream, or light wood frames keep the look calm and peaceful—perfect for verses about rest, blessing, or trust.

💡 Tip: Match the tone of the frame with the tone of the verse. A verse about peace might suit a soft, matte frame. A bold declaration of faith might pair well with a darker or more striking one.


2. Match Your Home’s Style (But Don’t Overthink It)

Your Christian wall art should feel like it belongs in your home—not just visually, but spiritually. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Modern & Minimalist: Go for black, white, or metal frames with clean lines.
  • Farmhouse or Rustic: Think weathered wood, distressed white, or warm tones.
  • Traditional or Cozy: Choose rich wood tones or classic golds for a timeless look.
  • Coastal or Soft Contemporary: Light woods, whitewashed frames, or driftwood tones pair beautifully with peaceful Scriptures and landscapes.

At the end of the day, you’re not just framing art—you’re framing the Word of God. Let it blend with your home’s personality, but don’t be afraid to let it stand out too.


3. Think About the Mood You Want to Create

Each verse carries a mood—peace, strength, joy, hope. Your frame should echo that tone.

  • Want to create a quiet, sacred space for prayer or reflection? Go with soft, neutral frames that don’t distract.
  • Looking to create a joyful, inviting atmosphere in your kitchen or hallway? Warm woods or gold-toned frames can brighten the message.
  • Displaying a verse that’s carried you through a hard season? Give it honor. A bold frame can say, “This truth is worth remembering.”

4. Consider a Mat for Extra Impact

Adding a mat can give your art a little breathing room—and make the verse feel even more special.
Choose:

  • White or off-white for a clean, timeless look
  • Soft gray for a little contrast
  • Colored mats (like navy, blush, or olive) if you want to tie in accent colors from your room or artwork

Framing with a mat can elevate your piece from pretty to sacred centerpiece.


5. Frame Size + Art Size: A Quick Note

Make sure your frame complements the size of your art. A larger frame with a mat can make even a small print feel impactful. If you’re building a gallery wall, consider using the same frame type across different Scripture prints for a cohesive look.

All of my art prints are available in standard sizes (like 8x10, 11x14, 16x20), so they’re easy to frame with store-bought or custom options.


Final Thoughts

Choosing the right frame for your Christian wall art isn’t just a design decision—it’s a reflection of the heart behind your home.

It’s about surrounding yourself and your family with beauty that speaks truth. It’s about creating spaces where Scripture isn’t just read—it’s felt. Where visitors are reminded of what your home is built on. Where your kids grow up seeing the Word woven into everyday life.

So go ahead—choose a frame that honors the message and complements your space. Because God's Word deserves to be seen, cherished, and beautifully displayed.
