Multi Picture Frames

Decorating with large multi picture frames is perfect for rooms where you need a focal point like over the couch, your bed, or the fireplace, for example. Here are some style considerations:

• Traditional: simple wooden frames are the most common material in this style as they add a classic look to the decor. Another option to consider is using metallic finishes in combination with classic ornamentation.
• Modern: thin strips of metal, or "all glass" frames whereby the photos appear to float in the frame. Black picture frames are also another good option.
• Vintage: cherry, mahogany, maple, or ash look beautiful against vintage and classic designs.

Before deciding on which picture frames are right for your space, gather which pictures you’d like to showcase. In doing so, you’ll determine how many openings you’ll need for the picture frame and their sizes. Because some large multi picture frames come with up to twenty openings, you want to make sure you’re not picking one out that has too many or too few. Under some circumstances, the combination of one large picture frame with several other small multi-frame picture frames may also work well in the space. Measure the area, and then cut out pieces of paper in the sizes of the frames you’d like to hang. Then, tape them up in the space to see if you like the way they look. Keep changing them around until you find the desired configuration you want.

Under some circumstances, large picture frames are substantial enough to place on the floor against a wall as a room’s focal point. If this is something you’d like to consider, then select pictures that add to the room’s décor in addition to having meaning to you personally. In doing so, you’ll not only be creating a piece of art for your interior space, but you’ll also be creating a conversational piece as well.

Because you’re placing items with significant meaning into these large multi picture frames, be it photographs or pieces of memorabilia, it’s critical that they don’t get wet or have direct contact with the sunlight. Routine maintenance can include wiping down the frames regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and other debris. However, if you notice the glass is building up with contaminants, you’ll need to take the frame apart to clean and dry it gently. Never spray cleaners or water directly on to a picture frame while the frame is encasing photographs or art or else they’ll get wet. Instead, take everything apart, place all of the pieces on a dry towel, and wash each item down gently with a damp cloth.
