Lets Talk Framing - Fillets

A Framing Secret: The Fillet

Have you ever heard of a fillet? It is a small decorative detail that lines the inside edge of a frame or mat. It’s the jewelry of custom framing. It may be subtle, but it elevates everything around it!

       

Fillets add dimension, help draw focus to your artwork, and make a piece feel more custom and refined. Because fillets come in a wide variety of finishes, they can easily echo your home décor or highlight a color within the art itself.

Here’s a simple designer secret: if your art includes metallic accents, like gold or silver highlights, choosing a matching fillet can tie the entire design together in the most elegant way!

     

If you’re curious how a fillet might enhance your next framing project, stop by and see the difference in person. It’s amazing how one small touch can make your artwork truly shine!
