A photo ledge is a shelf that is very narrow and creates a perfect spot for resting picture frames. It’s a better method of displaying photos than traditional nails or hooks because you can swap them around whenever the mood strikes. No matter your style of decor, we think there is a photo ledge to match your space. We gathered a collection of our favorite photo ledges to make your choice easier.
