Found Friday: Patterned Mat Frames

Layered with Love: The Charm of Pattern Mat Picture Frames

There’s something so quietly beautiful about a picture frame that tells more than one story. I’ve recently fallen in love with pattern mat frames—those sweet little frames where the matting itself holds a delicate print or soft pattern—and goodness, what a difference they make. I recently refreshed our bedroom and made my own frames with some leftover wallpaper and just love the way everything came together. (And DIY-ed our upholstered bed frame, too!)

These frames don’t just hold your memories—they elevate them. Whether it's a vintage floral, ticking stripe, or something subtly seasonal, that extra layer of texture adds warmth and charm in the most understated way. They’re like the linen napkins on a dinner table, or the ribbon tied on a handwritten note—small, thoughtful touches that make a space feel gathered and loved.

Tucked on a shelf, leaned on a mantel, or grouped in a gallery wall, pattern mats invite the eye to linger a little longer. They add personality without shouting, and they pair so beautifully with old family snapshots, pressed florals, or even a child's little crayon masterpiece.

It’s layering made simple—and soulful.
