Large Picture Frames: Tips & Suggestions

At Mahoneys Framing, we can custom frame large picture frames of up to 2.5×2.5m. We also have a range of large picture frames in ready made sizes, making the process even quicker and easier. Most people who are trying to frame large pictures can find the process difficult because most stores only offer frames up to certain sizes. At Mahoneys, we have framed a large variety of sizes and objects, so we are sure to meet your specific needs.

Large picture frames are often used for artworks, panoramic photography or custom objects, such as tapestry. Framing large pictures can make a dramatic statement and create a memorable piece.

Selecting Large Picture Frames For Your Artwork

First of all, follow the same process as picking frames for average sized pictures. Start by thinking about whether the moulding will match the colour and style of your image.

For large pictures, we suggest going for a simple and sleek frame. This is because having a large frame as well as a large artwork could be overwhelming. We would also suggest using a narrower mat or framing the artwork all the way to the frame’s edge to completely cover the mat. In some cases, a mat can still work well with larger pieces, but often it can make the piece feel too overpowering and enclosing.
