Photo Frames & Wall Art

Give your walls an instant lift with frames and wall art that make your favourite moments (and your blank corners) feel finished. Whether you’re updating the wall art for living room or sorting a gallery wall in the hallway, you’ll find easy options for every space — from sleek square photo frames to statement pieces and decorative wall hanging art for adding personality fast.

Picking the right size

Start with what you’re framing. An a4 photo frame is a solid all-rounder for prints, illustrations and certificates, while an a5 photo frame works brilliantly for smaller snaps, quotes and mini art. Want something bigger? Go for a 50 x 70 photo frame to anchor a feature wall, or a photo frame 40 x 30 cm for posters and larger prints without going full mural. If you’re mixing memories, a frame for 5 5x7 photos is great for holidays, family pics or a “best bits” timeline without needing loads of individual frames.

Prints, photos and polaroids

If you’re framing a physical photo, check the aperture size (the visible window) so nothing important gets cropped. For art prints, a mount can make the piece look more polished and helps smaller prints sit neatly in larger frames. And yes - you can frame polaroids too. Use a smaller frame, or pop them on a backing card so they’re centred and don’t slide about.

Style options for every room

Keep it calm with minimalist colours that blend into any aesthetic - black and white frames are always safe bets. Want more character? Try textured ceramics (think hearts for family photos), wooden bobble arches for a modern twist, or colourful stripes if you’re leaning into maximalism.

Build a picture wall you actually like

Mix sizes and finishes to create photo wall frames that look intentional, not random. A simple trick: start with one “hero” piece (like the 50x70) and build around it with a4, a5 and squares, then add wall hangings to break up the grid.

Finish the look with extras nearby - faux stems in ceramic plant pots, a tidy laundry basket corner, wall storage for keys and post, and warm indoor fairy lights to make the whole wall feel cosy at night.

What size frame do you need for an A4 print?

For an A4 print (210 x 297mm), choose a frame labeled A4 or slightly larger if you want a mat. This ensures a snug fit and keeps your artwork looking polished without gaps or awkward overlaps.

How much bigger should a frame be than the picture?

If using a mat, add 2–5cm on each side for breathing space. Without a mat, aim for a frame that fits the picture exactly - too much extra space can look off-balance.

Is it better to get a frame that is too big or too small?

Better to go slightly bigger than too small. A frame that’s too small can squash or damage your print, whereas a slightly larger frame can accommodate a mat and gives a more elegant display.

What's the most popular frame size?

Popular sizes match standard print formats: A4, A3, 8x10in and 12x16in. A4 is a favourite for small prints and photos, while A3 and above work well for statement pieces.
