Photography and framing don’t have to be two separate issues. There are tips photographers follow that capture remarkable images on camera that then can be transferred to a wall display by applying the same techniques used to capture the image to present it best in your home, office, or bedroom.
The Top 3 Photography Tips to Use for Frame Positioning
Baby photo frames are popular, and there’s no shortage of ready to buy frames that you can release the backing easily, pop a picture in, replace the backing and get the picture put on display. On display is all it may be though. Nothing too spectacular. Most likely, a small 6x4 silver frame with a teddy bear or similar baby item like stars or letters of the alphabet embellished around the frame.
For a professional grade baby picture frame, there are different customisations you can make with online websites that provide the frames and options to customise its appearance.
Around 29% of home moves happen in the Summer when families don’t have to worry about school pick-ups and after school activities because it’s the holiday season.
Despite having more time to get things done, a move is still going to be stressful, and you’ll have plenty of items that need secure packing and careful transportation to your new home. Your picture frames are one of those - especially older frames with glass used as the glazing instead of the safer alternative of acrylic.
Laminated photos and posters can be a little tricky to frame when you want an edge-to-edge finish, similar to what you’d see on movie posters at the cinema. Aluminium frames tend to give posters a good-looking finish, in particular with metallic or black profile frames. But you still need to factor in for protection inside the frame, which is where things get tricky with laminated material.
The backing material you use in a picture frame is just as important as the frame itself for the purposes of protection. A range of backing materials are available, and the quality of the material can determine the longevity of the frame.
Have you tried to find album cover frames? It’s a size you’ll rarely find on the shop’s shelf, ready to pick, pay, pack and go. Most likely, you’ll need to order from a custom framer or shop around online for custom frame sizing. You don’t need to pay an expensive fee for a custom framer to make a frame and professionally fit your album cover inside.
It’s a job you can do yourself by ordering a custom frame size. It’ll cost you far less.
If you’ve tried to group photo’s together, you may have run into a bit of trouble perfecting the space, gave up and put your original display back. There’s a knack to grouping art, and it’s not always about the types of artwork or family prints you choose to hang together. It’s often just the spacing between prints that makes a world of difference to the finished look and the overall feel of the room you hang your prints in.
Instagram is the photo sharing social platform that makes everyone that uses it feel like they’ve mastered photography. Snap a photo with your phone using the native app and overlay filters to turn an amateur photo into a professional masterpiece.
The #nofilter is a rarity these days. With forty filters you can layer onto your photos, and use multiple layers, it’s easy to go overboard. Resist the urge to apply too many.

The bathroom is a tricky room to hang art on the walls due to the high levels of humidity and often increased temperatures when you run a bath or shower, or just run the hot water tap each morning. You’ll know from experience; the room turns into a sauna environment quickly with condensation steaming up your mirrors (unless you use the fog-free mirror type).
Some things can be displayed safely in your bathroom, but for the most part, framed prints aren’t one of them.
Tips for putting artwork or photos in your bathroom
Canvas’s look great on your walls until the peskiest of warps or slightest of sagging causes it to not sit flush with the wall. Instead, it’s clear every time you look at the print that one end tends to be pushed farther from the wall. Not the perfect display you once had, and it gets more annoying every time you notice it.
Chances are when your canvas changes shape, it’s either an issue with the canvas slacking (as it does naturally over time) or there are dimples forming, or perhaps there’s some damage to the stretcher bars holding the piece together.
