Framing DefinitionsMuch like photo albums, picture frames have a language all their own. Collages and finishes, minis and easels are all terms that we use to identify certain characteristics of each frame that we sell.
If you have questions about some of the terminology that you've seen on the site, please feel free to browse this list of frame related words. We hope that they'll help you to find the perfect photo frame for your special photos. If you would like to add a definition for picture frames that could help other customers please contact us and you may receive a 10% discount on your order, if we decide to use it.

Collage Frames Collage frames are photo frames that can hold more than one photo. Designed for a wall or tabletop, these frames allow you to create your own collage of photos.
Clip Frames Clip frames have a small metal clip at the top to hold a photo. These frames can hold photos of all sizes!
Frame Shelves Hang a Frame Shelf, Popular frame shelves are a great way to add interest and take up very little space. Artwork can be hung on the wall over the shelf as well as set onto the shelf with other decorative objects.
Other Definitions opg - Short for "openings". Usually found when describing collage frames. For example, 3 opg and 4 opg refer to collages with 3 and 4 openings.

General Framing Idea Create a display of different sized frames on a single wall for a great fashion statement! Not only is it eye-catching, but also provides a wonderful spot to showcase family photos, vacations or favorite artwork. For an eclectic look, mix different style frames or create a clean look using all black or other similar finish or style frames.
