Picture & photo frames

Frames for every size, style and need

Frames offer a great way to make the people and places you love a natural part of your room. Celebrate friends and family by adding their photos to your wall. Or display some photos of treasured memories from past adventures. Either way, a nice frame will help highlight, contrast or tie your pictures in with the rest of your interior design.

Adjust the frame size with a picture mount

A picture mount is like a secondary frame, inside the frame. It’s a piece of paper or cardboard that sits between your picture and the glass of the frame. It’s used both for decoration and to prevent your photo from touching the glass.

A picture mount is particularly striking when framing small prints in large picture frames. And this makes it easier for you to find a photo frame that fits since you can frame smaller pictures in larger frames.

Picture mounts are included with a lot of the frames we sell. But they can always be removed if you’d rather not use them. You’ll find all the information and measurements you need in each frame’s product description.

Frame your memories: A guide to choosing the perfect picture frames

Capture your cherished moments and display them with style. Our guide helps you find the perfect frames to complement your photos and décor.

Make sure to choose the colour and style of the frame based on where you want to use it. A tip is to use contrasting colours to accentuate and bring attention to your picture or photo. For example, a black picture frame goes very well on a bright wall, while a white or silver frame does a good job of making your picture pop on a darker surface.

When choosing a frame, the number one priority is that the frame is larger than the picture you want it to hold. Get the size as close as possible for a nice, tight frame. You can also go for a much larger one and add a picture mount to play around with the perspective. 

What should I look for when selecting picture frames?

When choosing picture frames, consider both the aesthetic and practical aspects. The frame should enhance the photo without overpowering it. Look for a design that complements your home's decor and reflects your personal style. The size and shape of the frame are also important; it should fit the space where you plan to display it, whether that's on a mantelpiece or wall.

Additionally, think about the material of the frame. Wood adds warmth and a classic feel, while metal frames offer a more modern and sleek look. The colour of the frame can either contrast with or match your room's palette, depending on the statement you want to make. 

How can I use photo frames to decorate my home?

Photo frames offer a versatile way to decorate your home and give it a personal touch. Create a gallery wall by grouping frames of different sizes and styles, unified by a common colour or theme. This can turn a blank wall into a focal point of your room.

Alternatively, you can use photo frames to add interest to shelves or side tables. Mix and match frame styles for an eclectic look, or keep it cohesive for a more streamlined aesthetic. Remember to consider the space and not overcrowd it—sometimes, less is more.

What are the best ways to preserve my photos in frames?

To preserve your photos, ensure that the frame provides adequate protection from dust, sunlight, and humidity. It's also a good idea to regularly clean your frames and check for signs of wear and tear that could affect the photo. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to avoid scratching the glass and be gentle with the frame itself.
