At LivingTaste, we believe that a frame should do more than simply hold artwork — it should quietly elevate the entire space. That belief is why we intentionally design and curate solid wood frames that align with modern, minimalist interiors while preserving warmth, authenticity, and longevity.
This article shares why solid wood is central to our design philosophy, and how it reflects the LivingTaste approach to materials, craftsmanship, and everyday living.
Solid Wood: A Material That Aligns With Our Philosophy
LivingTaste was built around a simple idea: less, but better. Solid wood naturally embodies this principle.
Unlike engineered wood or composite materials, solid wood is honest. Its grain, texture, and subtle variations are not flaws — they are features. Each frame carries a unique character that cannot be replicated, reinforcing the idea that meaningful design is never mass-produced.
Designed for Modern, Minimalist Interiors
Our solid wood frames are intentionally understated. Clean lines, balanced proportions, and carefully selected finishes allow the artwork to remain the focus, while the frame adds structure and warmth.
They are designed to complement:
-
Minimalist and contemporary homes
-
Scandinavian-inspired interiors
-
Neutral, texture-driven spaces
-
Modern wall art and photography
Rather than competing with your decor, a LivingTaste solid wood frame integrates seamlessly into it.
Craftsmanship You Can See and Feel
Every LivingTaste solid wood frame reflects careful attention to detail:
-
Precisely cut miters for clean, sharp corners
-
Smooth, hand-finished surfaces
-
Natural or low-sheen finishes that highlight real wood grain
We avoid heavy coatings and artificial textures. The result is a frame that feels refined, tactile, and built to last — not something designed to be replaced after a few seasons.
Built for Longevity, Not Disposal
In a world of fast furniture and disposable decor, solid wood frames represent a conscious alternative.
Our frames are designed to withstand time — structurally and aesthetically. They resist warping and chipping far better than MDF or veneer-based frames, making them ideal for both everyday living and long-term display.
Choosing solid wood means choosing fewer replacements, less waste, and more enduring value.
A Thoughtful Approach to Sustainability
Whenever possible, LivingTaste prioritizes responsibly sourced wood and low-impact finishes. Solid wood, when managed responsibly, is a renewable material that aligns with more sustainable living choices.
We believe sustainability is not only about certifications — it is also about designing products people want to keep.
Solid Wood vs. Other Frame Materials
| Feature | Solid Wood | MDF / Composite | Metal |

Each material has its place. For LivingTaste, solid wood remains the foundation for frames that aim to feel calm, warm, and enduring.
Choosing the Right LivingTaste Solid Wood Frame
When selecting a solid wood frame, we recommend considering:
Wood tone — Light woods for airy spaces; mid-tones for warmth and balance; darker tones for contrast and depth.
Profile width — Slim profiles for a minimalist look; slightly wider profiles for larger artwork or statement pieces.
Finish — Matte or natural finishes that allow the wood grain to remain visible and authentic.
Our collection is designed so these choices feel intuitive, not overwhelming.
A Quiet Frame That Adds Meaning
A LivingTaste solid wood frame is intentionally subtle. It does not ask for attention — it earns it over time.
By choosing solid wood, you invest in craftsmanship, material honesty, and a calmer visual language for your home.
