How to choose a photo frame

In interior design, not the last place is occupied by photographs, which are independent elements or part of a collage. In order for the pictures to successfully fit into the situation, it is necessary to choose the right photo frames for them.

We will tell you what materials such products are made of and what to look for when choosing.

Frame types

Souvenir shops offer massive and exclusive handmade photo frames. They are:

• desktop,
• wall,
• fixed magnets.

Some are equipped with a backlight that creates an additional light accent in the space.

According to the type of execution, single and modular frames are distinguished. The former can hold one photo of a certain size, the latter are composed of several photo compartments. Diagonal, symmetrical and asymmetrical arrangement of modules is possible here.

Digital frames are modern accessories powered by electricity or batteries. Gadgets store photos electronically and display them on the screen as a slideshow.

Choosing the material of manufacture

Here the choice depends on the individual preferences of the buyer.

Wood

Differs in environmental friendliness, durability and a practicality. Wooden frames are a classic option that fits into any interior.

The natural base has hypoallergenic properties and retains the natural smell of wood for a long time. Most often, the surface is varnished or painted.

MDF

An alternative to wood are products made from MDF — pressed sawdust. The finely dispersed fraction in the form of shavings acquires the necessary shape after impregnation with a special adhesive composition. The top is covered with a film or wood veneer.

Externally, MDF frames do not differ from natural ones, but are less prone to drying out from moisture changes.

Plastic

Decorative products are made of polymeric materials of high strength. There is a distinction between PS photo frames made of organic-based expanded polystyrene and ordinary plastic products. Both those and others are distinguished by low weight, a variety of sizes, shapes and shades.

Metal

Metal frames made of steel or aluminum have a stylish look, glossy, matte or satin texture. Such models successfully fit into fashionable design styles (for example, modern and high-tech).

These are very durable accessories that keep a presentable appearance for a long time.

Glass

Glass photo frames are produced with a regular and mirror surface. Any of them are universal, bring lightness and special flavor to the interior. Such products are relatively inexpensive, but can break if dropped.

Non-standard materials

For the design of photographs, non-standard raw materials are often used:

• cardboard;
• felt;
• Knitting;
• dried plants;
• plush;
• the cloth;
• gypsum.

Such frames are beautiful, but unstable to dust, dirt, water and do not tolerate wet cleaning. If you are looking for a wear-resistant extraordinary frame, pay attention to options from ceramics, leather, buttons.

Dimensions

Photo frames usually correspond to standard picture sizes.
