We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. Photos are truly a great way of capturing and remembering the best of times. What better way to display these treasured memories than hanging them up on the wall? In this week’s blog, let us delve into the ultimate guide to wall photo frames we have specially crafted for you!
History to Photo Frames
Did you know that the first picture frame traced back to the ancient Egyptians? Frames continued to be the same until they started showing up in Europe around the 12th-13th centuries. The ones that we are familiar with today — carved, wooden, and separate from the artwork — appeared with European paintings back then.
They have since then, evolved over the years with a wide variety of styles and technologies. Photo frames have indeed proven themselves to be vital to photography, regardless of time. Print For Fun’s metal prints is an example of such.
Importance of Photo Frames

Floating frames use clear glass or acrylic in place of a mat to give your print the effect of floating on the wall. It gives that unforgettable photo the effect of standing on its own, bringing all the attention exactly to the piece.

Don’t Overwhelm your Wall with Photo Frames
There is not a need to cover your walls with pictures! With too much texture, multiple typography types and not enough visual resting space, it can be difficult to bring attention to your original frame.
How to Keep your Photo Frames Wall Straight
A Frame with a Picture Wire
Keep the wire fairly tight so your art will hang flush against the wall reducing the chances it will shift. In addition, using 2 pictures’ hooks or nails will distribute the weight of the piece and help it stay straight.

Use Wall Bumpers
These bumpers, which are small, clear circular rubber buttons with an adhesive back, stick to the back of the frame’s corners to protect the wall from damage. The bumpers also help keep the frame steady, preventing it from sliding around. Alternatively, you can check out patterned wooden stand clips if you’re looking for something unique!
