There are myriad styles of multiple photo frames to be purchased, which can enhance your wall space or desk.
Multiple frames can show a story in several photos, for example two or three photographs of a wedding day, or a child growing up over a few years. There are so many things you can do to make your frames unique. If you are artistic, why not buy a plain frame and use paints or stencils to personalise it.
The acrylic cube on the executive’s desk can contain photos of his wife and children. It can be turned around each day to show a different picture and, what is more, is discrete.
If you have a large expanse of wall at home, there are multiple frames that are welded together to form a large metal display of photos, which makes a change from having a picture hanging on the wall. Of course, you can change the photos at will, so it will always be up to date.
Some frames have apertures for photos, ranging from two to seven or more. These might be horizontal or vertical, and the finishes are endless – wood, bamboo, reeds, metal – whatever suits your wall. This type of frame usually has mounts ready cut so the photos are the same size.
Of course, you do not have to display your own photos; you can just as easily use photos of people in the public eye, small copies of artists’ works, and photographs of sculptures, views of scenery that is important to you or just pleasing to your eye. It really is easy to produce something special without too much effort.
Think about using a multiple photo frame as a gift. Use family photos as a gift for grandparents, take photos of friends’ cats or dogs, and mount them in multiple frames. These sorts of gifts are immensely personal and always appreciated.
Department stores and photography shops stock multiple frames and the Internet has many outlets offering frames at discounted prices. Some companies will supply frames without shipping charges, so it worth looking around at a lot of sites and do some comparisons.
A popular pastime these days is to make a montage of photos mounted on glass clip frames and hang them in the downstairs cloakroom. These can be effective, but look homemade and are not nearly so attractive as properly made multiple photo frames.
