Buying Guide: Wall Frames With Mat
What frame size should you choose for your photos?
- Mat size vs. photo size: mats create a border that adds depth; ensure the frame’s display size accounts for the mat.
- Wall space and weight: bulk sets are ideal for large walls; confirm wall anchors support total weight.
- Material and finish: wood frames offer warmth; plastic covers protect photos in high-traffic areas.
Mat Options And Gallery Strategy
Use mats to create visual separation between photos, especially on a long wall. If pairing different sizes, keep consistent frame finishes to maintain a cohesive look. For mixed media, choose a neutral mat color to avoid clashing with artwork or photos.
Installation And Maintenance Tips
Use a level when hanging multiple frames. Spring-type backings simplify photo swaps. Clean glossy covers with a soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratches. Check for loose hanging hardware periodically to prevent accidents, particularly in homes with kids or pets.
