The explosion of digital photography has arguably intensified our desire to print and frame our shots for posterity. Hence the fact that most worthwhile lifestyle stores sell a variety of glorious frames covering several price points.
Given the opportunity, we favour consistency when displaying photos. If you can use the same style of frame but in different sizes.
Here, we round up ten of our favourite sites for photograph frames.
Addison Ross
www.addisonross.com
Addision Ross are experts in photo frames with a huge selection on offer from its signature enamel frames in gorgeous colours, to silver, wood and mirror frames. The best bit of all is that the company will print and fit your photograph into a frame, ready for giving. The process is simple: just pick a frame, upload an image (they'll tell you if it's too big or small) and they'll do all the rest.
Nkuku
www.nkuku.com
The website of this Devon-based lifestyle shop and café is a treasure trove of furniture, lighting and homewares. You’ll find a frame for every need here. But our pick of the crop is the Gigantic Antique Glass Kiko Frame – only your very best shot deserves a berth in this one.
India Jane
www.indiajane.co.uk
The frames on offer here are – like the shop and website – sumptuous, old-school and wonderfully indulgent. Any one of them will add charm and elegance to a table-top in your sitting room or bedroom. They should show your photos off nicely, too.
Lund London
www.lundlondon.com
Lund London is all about fresh, clever designs and exquisite quality. Stylish? Yes. Traditional? Not so much. From watches and jewellery boxes to desk tidies and other homewares, it’s all pretty cool. We particularly love the neon acrylic frames, for their funky pop of colour.
MoA Design
www.moadesign.co.uk
The mission at MoA Design is to recycle, reduce UK waste and preserve our heritage timber. Their range of eco-friendly wooden photo frames does just that. And they look super classy as well. We like the Reclaimed Wooden Multi-Aperture Four Photo Frame.
The White Company
www.thewhitecompany.com
It may be 22 years since The White Company started selling us stylish things for our home – but they are arbiters of great taste to this day. Their photo frames are the epitome of understated elegance – in white and silver. With its slightly retro vibe, we think the 52 Aperture Year In Memories Photo Frame is a brilliant idea.
Sia Deco
www.sia-deco.com
It makes sense that a global leader in the decorative flower market should do other lifestyle elements beautifully. Their black faux leather frame is a stunner. We reckon it would get the approval of the man in your life, too.
All Things Brighton Beautiful
www.allthingsbrightonbeautiful.co.uk
As you’d expect from this quirky website featuring items from the best of Brighton’s creative scene, the frames at All Things Brighton Beautiful are stylish, inventive and unusual. We love the Antique Zinc Standing Frame.
Cox & Cox
www.coxandcox.co.uk
Always inspirational, Cox & Cox was set up in 2001 to provide shoppers with lovely homewares that they couldn’t find in traditional catalogues. Its been winning us over ever since. With its Scandinavian simplicity, we think the Black Hanging Frame is seriously smart.
OKA
www.oka.com
OKA's frames are stylish and grown-up but totally accessible. You can rely on them to bring polish to whatever situation you put them in. Our favourite is the large Faux Shagreen Frame in Pale Celadon, which packs a proper punch.
