A good frame, especially when combined with the right matting, finishes the look of a photo or piece of art. It also helps attract the eye to appreciate it, setting it apart from the surrounding space.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>When people look at your artwork, they also see your frames, even though the frames are not what they are focusing on – and that means if your picture frames are dirty or dusty, they’re going to see that, too. A dirty, dusty frame won’t do any favors for your home décor or the piece that’s framed, and it can easily distract from the pictures you actually want to be on display. Picture frames need regular care and cleaning to look their best and show off your photos and artwork at their finest.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic Cleaning for All Frames\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>You can keep frames in great shape for a long time with simple, regular dusting. Just like the rest of your furniture and home accessories, dust will collect on your frames and start to distract from your pictures. Giving your frames a light regular dusting every other day with a feather duster, lamb’s wool duster or a similar synthetic product is a quick way to keep dust in check. Just be careful not to knock hung artwork off the wall if you don’t take pictures down for this fast dusting!\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you dust less frequently, you may need to take more serious dusting measures for your frames. Take down hung pictures and wipe them very gently with a slightly damp cloth to remove larger amounts of dust. Do not spray water, wood polish, glass cleaner, or any other cleaning agent onto a frame with a mounted picture to make sure that none of the moisture gets inside the mounting and damages the picture.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If your art is showcased in an ornate frame, it may need a more delicate hand and a few unique techniques due to its embellishments. For tips, view our \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/diy/how-to-clean-an-ornate-frame\">How To Clean and Ornate Frame\u003C/a> post.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deeper Cleaning for Frames\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you need to take a hung picture down to dust it, you may as well take the time to give it a deeper cleaning and get rid of deeper accumulations of dust and dirt.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Take it apart: To start, you should remove the photo or artwork so you can clean the frame without damaging what’s inside it. Start by laying a towel or soft blanket on a flat surface. Carefully lay the frame face down and disassemble the back to remove the photo and any mounting. Put these aside in a safe place, away from where you will clean the frame.\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Clean the glazing: Take the glazing out and give it a good cleaning to remove any dust, fingerprints, or other smudges. Glass can be cleaned with your preferred kind of glass cleaner. Acrylic glazing should only be cleaned with a gentle soap and water, or a cleaner specifically designed for plastics like our Brillianize® Acrylic Cleaner and Polish. Use a soft, lint-free towel to wash and dry the glazing to avoid scratching the glazing or leaving behind lint particles. Paper towels can scratch acrylic so avoid using them when you clean acrylic glazing. When the glazing is clean, lay it aside in a safe place, too.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning Wood vs Cleaning Metal\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Picture frames need different kinds of care depending on what materials they are made from and what kind of finish they have. When in doubt, clean frames with the gentlest cleaning solutions and techniques to make sure you don’t damage either the frames or finish.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Wood frames: Wood picture frames that are finished can be cleaned with a damp cloth or with a wood furniture polish. When using this type of product, spray a small amount onto a cloth and use that to wipe the frame. This way you can avoid spraying too much polish directly onto the frame. If your wood frame is unfinished, use a towel dampened with water to clean the frame. Cleaning products may absorb into the unfinished wood and discolor it. If your frame is ornately carved or has other surface texture, use a soft toothbrush to help get dirt out of the nooks and crannies.\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Metal frames: Metal picture frames can be cleaned with a damp towel. Use a tiny bit of soap to clean the frame if it is especially dirty. If your frame is made of unlacquered pewter, sterling silver, or is silver plated, use a high-quality silver polish. If you are unsure about cleaning your frame, test it by first cleaning a small, unnoticeable part of the frame.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaners You Should Not Use on a Frame\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Home remedies and homemade cleaning solutions are usually too harsh for cleaning frames; they can ruin the finish on frames. Home remedies are usually meant to be a quick fix; conservation, on the other hand, requires a slow approach with regular checks on progress to ensure the process is going smoothly and not causing damage. Be sure to avoid the following when cleaning your picture or art frame:\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Ammonia\u003C/strong> – Ammonium hydroxide is harsh and can cause damage to the body of the frame; it may leave a pink hue on the surface of a metal frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Commercial polishes\u003C/strong> – Some products have chemicals that can strip metal or wood. Be sure to check the content on the packaging, because some manufacturers use ammonia in their products.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Too much water\u003C/strong> – Water can become trapped and cause corrosion or deterioration in the long term, especially in wooden frames. When using water, use it sparingly and only enough to make your cloth damp (not wet).\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For a safe bet, select a cleaning product that is labeled as “conservation” or “archival.” These classifications are intended to protect art and frames over time and shouldn’t contain harmful elements.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Once your frame is clean, make sure both the frame and glazing are completely dry before remounting your picture. Carefully replace the picture in the frame, seal it back in and rehang the frame. Now your frame is clean, and your photo can take center stage again with no dusty, dirty distractions!\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Clean Picture Frame Glass?\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Cleaning the glass of a picture frame is essential to ensure that your cherished photos, artwork, or memorabilia are displayed in the best possible light. Over time, dust, fingerprints, and smudges can accumulate on the surface of the glass, obscuring the view and diminishing the overall appearance of the frame. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to properly clean picture frame glass:\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Gather Your Materials\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Soft microfiber cloth or lint-free cloth\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Mild dish soap\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Distilled water (tap water can leave mineral deposits)\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Spray bottle (optional)\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Rubbing alcohol (for stubborn spots)\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Prepare the Cleaning Solution\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with distilled water in a bowl or spray bottle. If using a bowl, ensure it's large enough to dip your cloth into.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Remove the Frame from the Wall or Shelf\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Carefully take down the picture frame to avoid any accidental drops or damages.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>4. Dust the Glass Surface\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Before applying any liquid, gently wipe away any loose dust or debris from the glass using a dry microfiber cloth. This prevents any scratches when cleaning.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Apply the Cleaning Solution\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If using a spray bottle, lightly mist the glass surface. If using a bowl, dip the cloth into the solution, wring out excess liquid, and gently wipe the glass.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Avoid soaking the glass or allowing the liquid to seep into the frame's edges, as this can damage the artwork or photo inside.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Wipe in a Circular Motion\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Gently wipe the glass in a circular motion, starting from the center and working your way outwards. This helps prevent streaks.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Address Stubborn Spots\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If there are stubborn spots or fingerprints that won't come off with the soapy water, dampen a corner of your cloth with a small amount of rubbing alcohol and gently rub the spot until it's gone.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Dry the Glass\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Using a dry section of your microfiber cloth, wipe the glass dry, again using a circular motion. Ensure no streaks or water spots remain.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Rehang or Replace the Frame\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Once the glass is clean and dry, carefully rehang or place the frame back in its original location.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Last Updated October 3, 2023\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","\u003Cp>Although they are rarely in the spotlight, picture frames play a critical role in making your photo and art displays a gorgeous part of your home or office décor.

Hanging framed artwork in our homes can inspire, calm and remind us about what we find beautiful in life.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It’s pretty absurd, then, that so much of this artwork is printed on material that has an inherent lack of durability. Printed photographs, watercolor paintings, certificates, letters, maps and other types of documentation are all printed on paper, which is easily damaged: torn, stained, faded, stretched or wrinkled. Worse, improper framing and display techniques — which are supposed to protect the piece — can cause or exacerbate any of these problems. Once damage has begun, it won't get better on its own, and it may or may not be reparable. Being aware of the dangers to artwork from improper framing is key to preserving important art or documents in a good state.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Possible Damage to Artwork\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Artwork printed on paper can suffer damage from environmental conditions, which can include to the specific storage methods and materials of the frame or external factors such as high (or low) humidity or sunlight.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Acid\u003C/strong>: Acidity is one factor that causes great harm to artwork and documents. Paper made from wood pulp naturally contains acidic compounds, and these will cause the paper to turn yellow and become brittle over time. Matting and mounting boards can also contain acid, which affects both the boards and the art framed with them. Excessive heat can speed up the breakdown of paper from acidity.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Adhesive\u003C/strong>: Cellophane tape and masking tape are often convenient to use, but they both cause stains. Even some tapes marked as “archival quality” can cause damage, and these stains on artwork may not be removable.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>UV light\u003C/strong>: Light is a known enemy of artwork and other colorful things — it’s common knowledge that if you leave something out in the sun for a long period of time, its color will fade. The sun’s rays interact with the chemical bonds that make up color in some materials, including printed art, breaking them down and causing the colors to fade.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Moisture\u003C/strong>: Humidity damages paper by changing the structure of the paper itself and encouraging the growth of mold or mildew, which can lead to further damage and potentially disintegration.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the Right Picture Frames Protect Artwork\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Quality framing practices are designed to minimize all of the specific dangers that can damage printed artwork and documents. Proper framing uses materials designed not to damage artwork while keeping out environmental elements that can cause harm.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Acid-free mat board and mount board prevent acidity from damaging artwork. These materials, often referred to as “conservation quality,” are made from materials that are naturally acid free, such as cotton fibers rather than wood pulp, and further buffered to reduce acidity and maintain a neutral pH.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Special \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/framing-accessories/photo-mounting-supplies.html\">acid-free mounting products\u003C/a>, such as linen hinging tape or acid-free hinging tape, prevent the kinds of staining that occurs when using standard cellophane or masking tape to mount photos in mat boards. Dry mount tissue sheets are another alternative for light pieces of artwork.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Glazing, the glass or acrylic material that’s placed in front of a piece of framed artwork, protects the piece from moisture and from being contaminated by touch. It also keeps dirt and microbes out of the artwork. Light is art’s greatest enemy. UV-filter glazing, available in both glass and acrylic, filters the harmful UV rays to protect against sun damage and fading.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Finally, a good frame supports the entire package, sealing in the artwork and keeping everything — the print, the mat, the glazing and the backing — flat, tight and protected. Archival frames minimize the presence of acid or other damaging compounds that can also damage paper. Properly mounting and framing artwork is the best way to protect it from damage while still being able to appreciate it in your home or office.\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>The artwork we collect in our homes becomes a part of our personal stories, reflecting our own tastes and individuality and offering insight to about who we are.

A type of frame that is gaining popularity for its unique look is the canvas floater frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Float Frame?\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A float frame is a type of frame \u003Cstrong>made to give art the illusion of floating\u003C/strong> inside the picture frame without touching it, which creates an interesting visual detail and a sense of three-dimensional depth in the overall display.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials and Sizes\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A floater frame can be made out of metal or wood, the same as standard picture frames. They can be made to any size and with different frame widths, although many floater frames are narrow for the best display of the photo. Different finishes are available, including metallic finishes as well as matte colors. Because these frames are designed to work with photos printed on canvas or other canvas-based artwork, they need to be matched with the stretched canvas frame, which is then attached to the back of the floater frame to create the illusion that the canvas is floating inside – but not touching – the main picture frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ordering a Floater Frame\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To get \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/custom-frames/canvas-floater-frames.html\">canvas floater frames\u003C/a> sized correctly for your artwork, you need to make sure you order based on the right size of your stretched canvas photo or art piece. Check with the seller of your frame to make sure you understand how they size their frames and what dimensions they require in order to create your frame. Often they will want the actual size of the stretched artwork and will build the floater frame with increased dimensions to create the needed space or “moat” between the edge of the artwork and the frame itself.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Printing and Mounting a Canvas Photo\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Floater frames are designed to work with photos printed on canvas, which will probably require some extra steps for most people. Many photo services offer specialty printing on canvas, so if you have a photo service you use regularly, you can ask about their canvas-printing services.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It's also possible to print your own photos on canvas by buying special printable canvas that you can feed through a desktop printer. If you want to print your own canvas photo, make sure you check that the canvas you purchase will work with your type of printer.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A photo printed on canvas also needs to be mounted on stretcher bars or a \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/custom-frames/stretcher-bar-frames.html\">stretcher frame\u003C/a> before it can be attached to a floating frame. Lay the canvas face down on a clean surface and lay the stretcher bars on top, making sure to line the bars up with the photo.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Fold down the canvas at the center top and staple it to the frame, then pull it taut at the center bottom and add another staple. Work around the edges of the frame to staple the entire canvas on, being careful to stretch the canvas evenly as you go. When the photo is mounted on the stretcher frame, it can be inserted in the floater frame to complete the mounting.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does a Floating Frame Work?\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The \"floating\" effect is achieved by leaving a small gap between the artwork and the inner edges of the frame, allowing the artwork to be visible from all sides. It creates a sense of depth and dimension, allowing the artwork to stand out and become the focal point. The floating frame also provides a minimalist and contemporary look, emphasizing the artwork itself rather than the frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use Floating Frames\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Floater frames mimic the look of fine art displayed in a gallery, where these types of frames are the preferred way to display art. They enable galleries to mount a piece of artwork in a frame without the surface of the art touching the frame itself, preserving the image from potential contact or damage.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For home display of images, they provide an alternative to traditional matted picture frames. The depth of a floater frame creates a greater three dimensionality to a piece of art hung on a wall, and the floating image provides the same effect for art that is displayed on a desk or shelf.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>When choosing a floating frame, consider factors such as the size and thickness of the artwork, the style of the frame, and how it complements the overall aesthetic of the artwork. It's also important to ensure that the frame materials and mounting techniques used are archival and will protect and preserve the artwork for the long term.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A floater frame is a beautiful way to display the most precious photos or priceless artwork in your collection, giving them a presence that matches their importance.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Written by \u003Ca href=\"/info/mark-rogers-author.html\">Mark Rogers\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/frame-destination/c_lpad,dpr_2.0,q_auto/v1/media/wysiwyg/Mark_Rogers.jpeg?_i=AB\" alt=\"Mark Rogers\"> Mark Rogers is the President and Co-Founder of Frame Destination.

And the placement, oh, the placement; trying to measure a frame and lining it up on the wall or with other frames is like being back in 9th grade geometry class.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In order to make the best use of your wall space and to display your pictures to their best advantage, you need to plan out your display ahead of time. A unified photo wall display will make the best use of your wall space to display pictures, turning an entire room into a work of art. In order to create such a display, you need to do some planning and preparation ahead of time. Here are a few tips.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Unify Your Display Frames\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg data-public-id=\"blog/FamilyCollection_v2-1/FamilyCollection_v2-1.jpg\" src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/frame-destination/images/w_1024,h_683,c_scale/f_auto,q_auto/v1661444251/blog/FamilyCollection_v2-1/FamilyCollection_v2-1.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Family Photo Wall Collage\" class=\"wp-post-1095 wp-image-4431\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1661444251\" data-seo=\"1\">\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you want your entire photo wall art display to look the most visually appealing, the frames you use for the display need to have a unified look as well. Unifying the look or color of the frames also allows the subject of the photo themselves to pop and be true stars of the show. \u003Cspan class=\"s1\">A group of unique \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/custom-frames/wood.html\">\u003Cspan class=\"s2\">wood frames\u003C/span>\u003C/a> will make a great start as in the reference photo above that features our wood frame \u003Cspan class=\"s2\">Profile 311\u003C/span> in brown or a group of sleek \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/picture-frames/black.html\">\u003Cspan class=\"s2\">black frames\u003C/span>\u003C/a>.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Although matching frames are a good option, frames don't need to be identical in order to work in a photo display. It’s also okay to use existing frames, or if you enjoy collecting odd frames, they can become a creative part of your photo display. But a jumble of different frame styles and colors can look too random to form a cohesive display.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you have a set of odd frames, consider painting them all the same color to create a unifying effect. If you don't want frames that look exactly the same, divide up your frames by color or material and look for sets that, while different, go well together.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A way to find frame groupings that work well when you don't have matching frames is by laying the frames out together on the floor in order to evaluate whether they work together. Rearrange them into different shapes and configurations and try pulling out or replacing frames until you are satisfied that you have a group of frames that all work together. Considering frames in this way can also give you a jump on the next step: deciding on your layout.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>And don’t forget to include the fur-babies and your family's favorite places too in your family gallery.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

The layout of your photo wall can be as simple or complex as you desire. You can also choose to hang photos very close together, with narrow spaces between frames, or more widely separated. Use these \u003Cspan class=\"s1\">tips\u003C/span> on how much spacing to include. The display options you choose will influence the look of the entire wall as well as of the individual pictures.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To try out a layout on your wall, use butcher paper, craft paper or even old wrapping paper to make a template of each frame. Simply lay each frame on the paper, trace around it, and then cut along the lines. You can tape these paper templates up on the wall to get a better idea about how a layout will look before committing to it (and without damaging your walls). When you have a layout you like, leave it in place for a day or two so you can get used to it and see if it still works.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Some simply go to a store and pick out something the right size (or close enough) and call it good for their most precious memories.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>While basic, common frames do get the job done, using a basic frame doesn't do anything extra to make your photographs look their best, set them apart, or to draw attention to them in an attractive way.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Problem with Standard Frames\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Standard picture frames do indeed get the job done, they don’t do much else. Basic frames work in a snap if all you want is a quick solution for a photo that will sit on a shelf or hang on the wall (and that you’ll likely forget about). But a custom frame offers many more possibilities and can enhance both your pictures and your space in multiple ways.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For one thing, standard frames are only created in a few sizes. Frames that measure 4x6 inches, \u003Ca href=\"/ctg/picture-frames/5x7.html\">5x7 inches\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"/ctg/picture-frames/5x7.html\">8x10 inches\u003C/a>, and so on, are familiar and acceptable. But not all pictures look their best at these sizes, nor are they taken to conform to these standard measurements.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Digital photography and image editing offer many possibilities when it comes to creating exactly the right image via cropping and resizing. If you take a picture that is slightly off center or that includes something undesirable at the edge because it was impossible to capture the image without it, or if you simply decide you want to be creative and create a picture in an unusual size, you can do it very simply.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But without the right size and shape of frame, it is difficult to display that creative, special image in the best possible way.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It's also worth noting that not all display spaces conform to standard frame sizes, either. If you have a narrow strip of wall, for example, a standard size frame may not be the right proportion to fit it.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But a narrow photograph, especially one you have cropped to a custom size, may be the perfect thing to display there – if you can size a picture frame to suit. But Frame Destination has a different idea of “standard.” Frame Destination offers frames in 60 \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/info/picture-frame-sizes.html\">different standard sizes\u003C/a>, along with mountboard, matboard, \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/glazing/choosing-the-right-framing-glass-for-clarity-and-protection\">glass or acrylic\u003C/a> to frame and display your photos with professional quality, giving them the respect they deserve as special memories for you and your family.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unique and Professional Framing Options\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you want to give your photos a special display, there are more options than basic picture frames. One example is a floater frame. These types of frames display the full surface of a picture printed on canvas in such a way that it appears to \"float\" inside the frame without touching. These frames provide immediacy of viewing, and also add a three-dimensional touch to the display, making it more interesting and attracting attention to your photograph.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Another way to ensure your pictures are the center of attention is to mat them properly inside the frame. A mat provides a buffer between your photograph and what surrounds it, setting it off and allowing the eye to see it with fewer distractions. Matboard can be purchased in a wide array of colors and can be cut to fit inside any photo frame.\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Nobody has cookie-cutter memories of special events, school plays, vacations with family, major work milestones, or other significant life events.

This warmth can also carry over to more contemporary, colorful works that blur the lines between traditional and modern.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Modern works, such as abstract paintings, minimalistic work and photography, most commonly black and white photography, are suited to the simplicity of metal frames. With their no-fuss look, metal picture frames support less intricately detailed works of art rather than compete with them.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Out the Room\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A framed piece of artwork will have a home somewhere inside yours—look to that room’s style for guidance. A warmly-toned living room outfitted with an overstuffed sofa and a roaring fireplace is the perfect setting for a wide \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/frame/wood-frame-profile-506.html\">mahogany picture frame\u003C/a>, while modern rooms call for metal frames.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Though metal picture frames often feature fewer color options than its wood counterparts—white, black and silver are the most common colors in metal picture frames—their simplicity allow them to complement many styles of décor.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Your Budget\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Because wood frames are composed of a pricier material and must be hand-glued and nailed together, they are slightly more expensive than the typically aluminum metal frames. The more ornate the wood frame gets, the more expensive it is.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you plan on purchasing a complete frame kit, including mat board, mount board and glazing, at museum conservation-level quality, it may be beneficial to first look at your budget. Those who wish to frame multiple photographs or prints—to create a gallery wall, for example—may find it easier on their budget to purchase metal frames or mix and match the materials.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Out the Damage Potential\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>While wood frames are sturdy, they are sometimes susceptible to damage. Wood frames may also be heavier, which can make it easier to drop, and subsequently dent or ding, them.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Customers who plan to move their frames, have children with curious hands, or house pets that love to knock things over may find it easier on their wallets to choose metal frames, at least for the time being. Metal frames can be repaired or have sides replaced, while wood frames wear their scratches and dents with pride.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wood Picture Frames\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Case for wood frames -- Wood is a warm natural material, which can be stained in many beautiful colors or painted in an even wider selection of colors. Wood is a classic material for creating picture frames because it has been the traditional material for frames for centuries, owing to its ready availability and ease of use.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Traditional decorating style often calls for wooden picture frames, either to match other furniture items or simply for its own classic style and detail. Wood can be pale, dark, or a range of shades in between, or even gilt, giving you many choices when it comes to complimenting or contrasting the look and mood of any given image.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/custom-frames/wood.html\">wood picture frame\u003C/a> can also be made with either very simple detailing or with very ornate levels of detail, offering a range of textures to suit your photographs, your personality, and the décor of the room in which you will display the photo or artwork.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metal Picture Frames\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>A metal picture frame offers a more modern alternative to wooden frames. Frames made out of metal provide clean lines and are well suited to a variety of modern décor styles, although a carefully chosen metal frame can look at home with a more traditional decorating style as well.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Décor that recalls certain historical periods, such as the Art Deco era, also calls for the clean lines and cool look of metal picture frames to fit in among other period touches.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Metal frames, unless painted, may not offer the same range of colors as wooden frames do, but there are still plenty of choices to suit different photos. A narrow metal frame can also recede easily into the background, which in some cases is what you want for your photo display.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The cool look of metal offsets many photographs, especially photos shot in black and white, and provides a very classy look.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/picture-frames/metal.html\">Metal picture frames\u003C/a> also offer some extra practicality over wooden frames in instances when a frame becomes damaged. If one side of a metal frame becomes scuffed, dented, or broken, it is possible to replace only the damaged side.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Metal frames can be disassembled and reassembled, making it a simple matter to replace a broken or damaged piece. Wooden frames, however, cannot be easily disassembled once nailed together. A damaged wooden frame needs to be replaced completely.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Wooden frames and metal frames are both beautiful options for picture frames and provide classic or contemporary looks at cost-effective prices. Frame Destination offers a wide range of both wooden and metal frames in many standard sizes to suit your picture display needs.\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Picture frames can be made out of, well, practically anything. Glass, acrylic, stone, concrete, molded plastic, recycled materials, and many other items and materials can be used to make creative frames.

When \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/picture-frames/wood-frames-vs-metal-frames\">choosing between a wood and metal frame\u003C/a>, you must consider a number of factors: the artwork, the room and your budget. Classic paintings look best in wood frames, while metal frames complement modern work. However, if a room’s overall theme is more rustic, a metal frame might feel out of place. Wood frames may cost slightly more than metal frames due to their material, especially if the frame features ornately carved details.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose the Right Picture Frame Color\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Wood frames are generally available in natural shades, but can be painted or laminated white, black or with gold or silver accents. Metal frames are commonly available in black, white and shades of silver or gray; the new \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/frame/nielsen-profile-117v.html\">Nielsen Profile 117V\u003C/a> has since introduced bright red, blue, purple, green and turquoise to metal frames.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The color of the picture frame depends again on the artwork and the room. Contrasting a light picture with a dark frame can create a nice visual effect, such as a black and white photo inside a black metal frame. However, dark frames may draw attention away from works featuring light colors, such as watercolors. To ensure you choose the right color, you can \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/custom-frames/frame-moulding-samples.html\">order sample mouldings\u003C/a> of all Frame Destination frames, including straight sides and corners.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Whether You Want a Mat Board\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>You may choose to include a mat board in your picture frame to further enhance the look. Using a mat board can also help keep your picture in place or hide rough edges that you may not want to display. A mat board will add to the overall size of the frame, as it provides an extra border around the artwork. Like picture frames, mat boards come in a variety of colors; depending on the type, you may have dozens of colors from which to choose, ranging from the standard white and cream to bright red and black. Frame Destination also offers \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/framing-supplies/mat-board-samples.html\">mat board color sample sets\u003C/a> to help guide your decision.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is a Custom Frame Necessary?\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you have a print or other piece of artwork that does not fit in any of the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/info/picture-frame-sizes.html\">standard picture frame sizes\u003C/a>, you may need to purchase a custom frame. In the Frame Destination shop, all standard sizes are listed for convenience; to purchase a custom frame, you simply check “Customize this preset frame size” and enter in the details of your artwork. The frame will be recalculated automatically depending on your choices, including mat board border widths and artwork overlap — and everything is still customizable — until you reach the custom frame you want.

Choose the Right Picturing Hanging Fixtures\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Choose good, quality fixtures to hang your frames with — and pay especially close attention to the weight limit. Most hanging kits or hooks come with a breakdown of the weight you can safely hang from the hooks. Do not go over this weight. You might not think a pound or two will not make that much of a difference, but it can. Also remember that there's nothing wrong with using a stronger bracket than you need.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Small Lightweight Pictures\u003C/strong> \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you have a relatively small and lightweight picture, it may have a saw tooth hanger on the back or you may choose to add one. You can use a saw tooth hanger on a wood or metal picture frame that is less than 12 inches at its longest side. There are different \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/saw-tooth-hanging-kit-for-wood-picture-frame.html\">saw tooth hangers for wood\u003C/a> vs. \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/saw-tooth-hanging-kit-for-metal-picture-frame.html\">for metal\u003C/a>, so be sure to check that you have the right version before attaching it to the frame. For that type of hanger generally a standard nail (or two next to each other) in the wall will be sufficient to secure the picture. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Standard Pictures\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For any other standard sized picture and those with hanging wire attached, j-hook picture hangers work best. You can find these in a standard picture \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/picture-hanger-206-piece-kit.html\">hanging kit\u003C/a> sold at most frame retailers. These are commonly rated for holding 20-30 lbs. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Oversized or Heavy Pictures\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Some larger j-hooks may be rated for 50 lbs that have two nails, but over 30 lbs it would be better to consider a stud. A wood stud within the wall provides something solid to brace the fastener in. It’s way stronger and more stable than just dry wall or a typical wall panel, and can safely secure your picture frame. To find the stud, thump on the wall and listen for a “solid” sound. (No stud will elicit a “hollow” sound.) For a better shot at success, you can use a stud finder tool available at most hardware retailers.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Step 2. Find the Right Spot\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Using the Golden Rule\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>There’s a golden rule of hanging a picture that most galleries and museums use and that is to have the center of the photo be at 57 inches. This reflects the standard eye-height of the average person, and most interior decorators will use that as a guide as well. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Another thing to consider is that you want the pictures in your home or space to be fairly consistent as you move throughout the rooms. So if you have a height that you are generally comfortable with throughout the rest of the space, you can match it. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Pinpoint the center of your artwork (from top to bottom). Then measure the distance between the center of your picture and the top of the frame. If you are using the golden rule of 57 inches, add the distance you just calculated to 57 inches. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Then measure that combined height from the floor, and with a pencil or a piece of painters tape, mark that height on the wall where you’d like the picture to hang. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Typically a saw tooth hanger will be positioned very close to the top of the frame so for that picture you can simply nail in the nail right below that mark. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you have hanging wire on your picture, you’ll need to mark where the actual hanger will be as well as the top of your picture. Hold the wire taut in the middle to form a v-shape. Measure the distance from the top of the v to the top of the frame.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Measure that same distance down from the first mark on your wall and add a second mark or piece of tape. This is where the picture hanger or nail will be attached to the wall.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Using the Picture Place for Accurate Placement Every Time\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Using our inexpensive \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/picture-hanger-tool-for-gallery-frame-hanging.html\">Picture Hanging Tool\u003C/a>, The Picture Placer, is another easy way to mark the spot to put the picture-hanging hook on your wall. Just center the Picture Placer in the center of your framed art as the directions indicate, and hook the wire on the back. Pull up tight. The wire will hold the tool in place. Now position the top of the frame at the first mark on the wall and give it a gentle push. The Picture Placer will leave a tiny hole on the wall where the hanger or nail should go.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Centering the Picture\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you’d like to center your frame over a piece of furniture or at the very center of a wall, first measure and calculate the center of that space or item. Then from that spot, measure up from the floor to the height you calculated for the hanger height. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If it turns out that you marked the points incorrectly, you can easily fix them. Use a clean rubber eraser to remove them from the wall. Wipe the wall down with a dampened rag to make sure it's clean. Always let it dry completely before you attempt to hang anything. Pencil lead can streak on wet surfaces.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3. \u003Cstrong>Secure the Hanger to the Wall\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>While using a single hook might work for some smaller pieces, most of the time it’s extremely difficult to get the artwork perfectly straight without using another hook. Using two hooks keeps it from tilting.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Nail the j-hooks in the wall on either side of the mark or tape you placed on the wall.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4. \u003Cstrong>Hang and Level the Picture\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On to the last step and one last tip: Use bumpers if you have them. \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/self-adhesive-clear-wall-bumpers.html\">Bumpers\u003C/a> are included in all the hanging kits you receive from us or can be purchased separately. These not only help keep the picture straight, but they help protect the wall if someone slams a door or bumps into the wall near your picture which would typically cause your picture to slip or bounce. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Now hang the picture by the wire on the two j-hooks, and make sure it’s level. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The two hooks should make it fairly easy to hang the picture straight, but you can use a small level to confirm if you like.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>When you get a piece of artwork in a beautiful picture frame, make sure you hang it properly. Following these tips will help you to do it right the first time and leave your walls just as beautiful as before.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus Tips: Things to Avoid When Hanging Pictures\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>These are some common mistakes people make when hanging pictures:\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>1. Using improper hanging equipment\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>2. Eyeballing the height placement\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>3. Eyeballing multiple piece arrangements\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>4. Lack of planning for gallery walls\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lack of Planning for Gallery Walls\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>When creating a gallery wall, pre-planning where the frames go saves you the headache and hassle of continuously rearranging the pieces on the wall, creating dozens of holes during the process. A commonly used and effective method for pre-planning a gallery wall is to use craft or butcher paper. Lay a large piece of paper flat on the floor and arrange your frames in a way that looks appealing to you. Larger art placed toward the left can create a sense of harmony.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Trace the frames out on the paper — including the placement of the hooks — and tape the craft paper to the wall with painter’s tape. Hammer the nails for the hooks through the paper on the wall where indicated. Take the paper down (careful to not damage the frames) and use the craft paper as your guide. Voila! The artwork is exactly where you intended.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Learn More:\u003C/strong> \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/diy/hanging-picture-frames-without-nails\">How to Hang Pictures Without Nails\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cb>Last Updated Feb 14, 202\u003C/b>\u003Cstrong>3\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>When you find the perfect picture frame for your photograph, painting, or print, the next step is hanging it correctly.

Framing doesn’t have to be expensive, especially if you consider a few simple tips that will help lower the amount you spend on high-quality frames for your cherished photos.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>1. Don’t Buy From a Big Box Retail Store\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Brick and mortar stores may claim they have the lowest prices on frames, but that’s typically not the case. Retailers act as the middlemen between manufacturers or distributors and the end customer — and they mark up the prices on frames to pay for their services and high overhead. Frame Destination, on the other hand, keeps its overhead low by purchasing direct from the manufacturer and offering frames though its online store. Frame Destination also makes all its frames in the U.S.A., so its prices don’t include extra overseas transport or import costs that may be built into other retailers’ prices.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>2. Order Larger Quantities\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>It might seem counterintuitive, but buying more at once can actually save you money on both the price of the frames and shipping costs. Ordering a larger quantity of product and having it shipped in one order is much more economical than multiple small orders. Frame Destination offers volume discounts starting at a quantity of 4, and for some products such as mats, you can often find larger \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/clearance/mat-clearance-packs.html\">bundles \u003C/a>at drastically reduced prices versus the per-piece price in the clearance section. If you are framing a collection of art, this is a great way to keep a look consistent and save money.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>3. Bundle Your Frames with Other Supplies\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Instead of ordering supplies from multiple retailers, include them in your order from your frame retailer to save on setup or shipping costs. Frame Destination offers a large variety of supplies such as \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/protective-crystal-clear-bags.html\">clear bags\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/framing-supplies/mount-board.html\">mount board\u003C/a>, sealing tape and \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/framing-accessories/cleaning-supplies.html\">cleaning supplies\u003C/a>. The more you order from one retailer the more you save on shipping. And with the free shipping promotions and order discounts Frame Destination offers seasonally, the savings just keep adding up. Plus, Frame Destination has one of the best shipping protocols in the business: it goes to extra lengths to ensure that no matter how many items are in your order, they will all arrive in perfect condition.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>4. Forgo the Face-to-Face Interaction\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Custom frame shops are typically more expensive because they have staff on site to interact with customers. The best custom frame shops will have certified picture framers who understand how to frame and are available to answer questions and make suggestions. They also do the final assembly on the frame, presenting you with a completely finished product. Another advantage is that picking the finished frame up yourself from these shops reduces the chance of shipping damage. However, the extra on-site staff and service means higher-paid employees, more expensive equipment, more expensive supplies — and higher costs.\u003Cbr>\nOn the other hand, if you know what you need and don’t need the face-to-face guidance, you can save money by buying online or through a distributor — but even they may have different requirements or offer different levels of service. Be aware of those before you try to buy — for example, Larson-Juhl requires framing customers to have a retail store, but Frame Destination has no such requirements for customers.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Frame Destination will also notify you if part of your order is out of stock, while other companies might ship an incomplete order — and you won’t know until it arrives on your doorstep. And with Frame Destination’s extra care shipping methods, it’s highly likely you’ll be consistently delightedly by the quality and condition of your frames when they arrive at your doorstep.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>5. Go the DIY Route\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>You can save a lot money by buying the raw material and creating the framing package yourself. However, this requires equipment, time and skill. You can \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/mat-board/designing-custom-mat-boards\">create custom mat boards\u003C/a> more efficiently — and with better quality — with a $1200 mat cutter than a $250 one.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>If your volume and craftsmanship is up to the task, you can save money in the long run, but if not, creating your mat boards, mount boards and frames yourself may end up being more expensive than buying new. Consider the time and money you will spend buying the equipment and learning how to use it, not to mention maintaining it. And, if you’re just starting out, the cost of mistakes includes starting over with a new piece of material, so be patient and prepared for higher costs in the beginning.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>6. Pick the Right Quality for Your Budget\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>There are levels of quality and price to fit any project and budget. One of the best mat boards offered at Frame Destination, for example, is the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/framing-supplies/mat-board/bainbridge-4ply-alpharag.html\">Bainbridge Alpharag\u003C/a>, an archival cotton-based mat board. For the smaller budgets, opt for the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/framing-supplies/mat-board/bainbridge-4ply-alphamat.html\">Alphamat\u003C/a> which is alpha cellulose instead of cotton, a comparable archival mat board but not museum archival. To continue to lower costs, you can adjust the quality and density in mat board as well as choose glass or acrylic options that best fit your project’s budget and the desired longevity of your art.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Picture frames don’t have to be expensive to be beautiful.
