Natural Textures, Timeless Golds & The Rise of Bamboo
As we step into 2026, picture framing is embracing a bold blend of natural textures, tactile materials, and revived classic finishes. This year’s trends show a shift toward frames that not only complement artwork, but also act as beautiful interior accents in their own right. Among the standout arrivals is the new Bamboo moulding range, an exciting development for framers and design‑lovers alike.
Whether you’re refreshing your home, updating your gallery wall, or selecting the perfect frame for a statement artwork, here are the framing trends defining 2026, and why Bamboo is at the forefront.
Natural Textures Take the Lead
In 2026, interiors are moving toward warmth, tactility, and nature‑inspired finishes. Bamboo‑styled frames sit perfectly within this movement, bringing an organic softness and subtle elegance to both modern and traditional spaces.
The newly released Bamboo range captures this beautifully with its finely detailed bamboo‑like ornamentation and textured surface, echoing the iconic bamboo groves of Arashiyama, Japan. The effect is refined yet earthy - a standout choice for artworks that benefit from depth and character.
Gold & Silver Are Back and More Versatile Than Ever
Gold and silver continue their resurgence in 2026, evolving from flashy to sophisticated. The Bamboo range launches with two classic finishes: Gold and Silver, both aligning strongly with current interior trends. Clean, elegant metallics pair effortlessly with both bold artworks and minimalist palettes.
The Bamboo Gold and Silver profiles offer:
- A beautifully textured bamboo design
- Precision‑milled construction for clean cuts and joins
- An enhanced visual warmth without overpowering the artwork.
Gold and silver have always been a favourite in framing - in 2026, it’s become a staple.
Float Frames Continue to Dominate
Float frames are still one of the most in‑demand styles in contemporary design, and Antons has delivered the industry’s first Bamboo float frame.
The Bamboo Float profiles in gold and silver give artwork a striking gallery‑style presence, lifting the canvas forward and creating a subtle shadow line. This style suits:
- Abstract and contemporary art
- Canvas prints
- Traditional pieces needing a modern twist.
Float frames will remain a top choice throughout 2026, and Bamboo float frames bring a uniquely organic twist to the category.
Sustainable‑Inspired Design Without Compromise
While not made from real bamboo, the textured Bamboo profiles speak directly to the growing consumer interest in environmentally inspired design. The look and feel mimic hand‑crafted natural materials, while the construction delivers the consistency and durability professional framing requires.
Homeowners and interior designers are seeking aesthetics that feel grounded and connected - Bamboo fits this direction perfectly.
Minimalist Profiles With Character
Slim, textured, character‑driven mouldings are trending this year, replacing both overly ornate and ultra‑plain frame designs. The Bamboo range’s elegant proportions provide enough personality to enhance an artwork without becoming visually heavy.
The profiles come in two forms:
- Bamboo Float Frames (Gold / Silver) - ideal for canvas artworks and statement pieces (see A2122 below).
- Standard Bamboo (Gold / Silver) - perfect for photographic prints, traditional art, certificates, portraits and more (see A2121 below).
Each option provides a subtle statement minimalism that resonates strongly with 2026 styling.
Why Bamboo is the Trend to Watch in 2026
The Bamboo range stands out this year because it bridges two major directions in interior design:
✔ Organic materiality
Texture inspired by nature, timeless warmth, and a nod to artisanal craft trends.
✔ Lofty luxury
Refined metallic finishes and precise milling for a premium look.
This combination makes Bamboo one of the most versatile new ranges on the market - capable of complementing everything from contemporary abstracts to travel photography to classic portraiture.
