Best frame sets

Frame sets can come in very handy, whether you are decorating your home and keen to give it a personal touch, or simply looking to show a friend or loved one how much they mean to you. Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, with features such an easel, hanger or hook, the frame sets we’ve selected can help make your house a home, or simply tell someone they’re special. Some of our picks are more suitable to family homes, with plastic rather than glass glazing, and some are must-haves for those wanting to inject a vintage feel into their home. Plus, given that all our products come as sets, you can always reserve a few frames for gifting, no matter how much you may love them.

Of our selections, our favorite is the Upsimples Frame Set, a classy choice available with a timeless white frame and cream window mat. Created for safe home use around children, they’re easy to mount and look great. At 11”x14”, they’re a sizeable pick and come in sets of five, so you can mount your own gallery wall should you wish to. Despite this being our best frame set, there are plenty of other great options listed below to suit different needs. So why not read on to hear more about this frame set and our other favorites?

The Upsimples Frame Set says stylish and contemporary. And best of all, it doesn't require an expert to set it up. Simply choose a photo, artwork or print that fits suitably behind the window mat, then place the plastic glaze in the frame, before placing the window mat, photo or artwork of choice and synthetic wood on top. It’s really that easy. The plastic glaze, from which you will need to remove the protective film, is a safe option for family homes and offers equal clarity to that of glass. Oh, and have you seen those white frames, which might we add, come in sets of five? Elegance in abundance…

Nothing gives home character like a little bit of rustic. These Q.Hou Rustic Brown Frames come in sets of four, making them ideal for gifting or tasteful displays in your home. Crafted from eco-friendly MDF wood, the frames have burnished brown accents, which give a charming, cottagey feel. Despite the stunning distressed style of the frames, they certainly don’t skimp on the other features. High-definition glass gives a clear view of your photo or artwork, and the pre-attached stamped hanging hardware means you can open and go as soon as they arrive. And you’ll be glad to know, they are sized to hold 8”x10” photos, meaning they are suitable for family snaps.

Keeping art and photography safe is hot on the priorities of Golden State Art. And the Golden State Art Frame Collection is no exception to the rule. With a removable window mat, it ensures that your artwork doesn’t stick to the glass, all the while warding off water and heat damage. A neat trick: the window mat has been buffered to a neutral pH value so to protect your artwork for a longer period of time. The glazing, which is glass and bevel cut, looks classy and professional, perfect for showing off your favorite art. And that’s part of its magic. Because of its understated frames, which come in gold aluminum, it looks smart but gives the art the attention.

Sometimes a little creativity can go a long way. That’s certainly the case with the Gallery Perfect Frame Set. Available in sets of nine square frames, created from wood, this product takes away the hassle and lets you get artistic. The patented Wall-Grabber hardware means mounting is easy, and the selection of wall templates allow you to design your own personal gallery. Often empty spaces in homes need something to give them a little pizzaz, and we think a wall curated with your favorite photography or art can help. Finished in black, the frames are sized at 12”x12” and can be arranged in a multitude of ways – and they come with two contemporary art prints. Put your Pinterest dreams into action, now. 

Nothing says thank you quite like a beautifully framed photograph, print or artwork. Not least when it’s framed in pinewood with an antique finish. As far as gift-giving goes, this MCS Frame Set delivers. Easy to use, thanks to the bendable metal tabs which hold the MDF backing in place, it comes with an easel for vertical or horizontal tabletop display, as well as two triangle hangers for horizontal or vert display. Each set comes with ten frames: two 8”x10”, four 5”x7” and four 4”x6”. So, when a gifting opportunity arises, you’ll have plenty to play with. All that’s left now is for you to select the photo or art you wish to display. Expect smiles all round.

Getting your money’s worth can be hard work, especially when you refuse to compromise on functionality. However, this Americanflat Picture Frame Set provides the best of both. Offering shatter-resistant glass, timeless wood frames in a black finish and sturdy backboards, it’s a great way to get the best out of your photos. Molded in gallery-style, each frame is hand-crafted and durable, and best of all, they come with a moving hanger that allows you to adjust the frame to your preferred position. One other thing: if you prefer to not use the easel or standard hanging hardware, you can use the hanging wire or brackets that come as a sweet little extra. Neat, right?
