A picture frame is rarely just a mounting. It determines whether a photo appears private or like an object, and it connects pictures that have nothing in common thematically. Eichholtz picture frames work with polished and antique brass, stainless steel, leather, and wood, thus matching the metals of the rest of the interior.
The Frame Makes the Group
The simplest rule for a wall or a shelf: different pictures, same frames. As soon as material and color are uniform, a colorful collection reads as one piece. Conversely, it works the same way: identical motifs in different frames appear restless. If you want to mix, only mix the formats, not the materials.
Passe-partout and Format
A passe-partout gives the picture space and makes it appear larger without the motif growing. Four to eight centimeters of border are the usual range; the bottom border may be slightly wider than the top, which creates a calmer impression. For small formats, the passe-partout is the most effective lever of all: a ten-by-fifteen photo in a generous frame transforms from a snapshot into a distinguished object.
On the Shelf Instead of on the Wall
Not every frame belongs on the wall. Frames standing on a dresser, a console table, or on the shelf of a display cabinet are flexible and can be rearranged without drilling. The basic decorating rule applies: odd number, different heights, same material family. Complemented by a bowl and a small vase, this creates a complete group.
Interaction with Wall and Mirror
On the wall, frames work together with wall art and wall accessories; the rules for height and spacing are in the guide Eichholtz Wall Art. A wall mirror from the same frame family unifies a wall and additionally brings light into the room.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should all picture frames be the same?
In a group, yes, at least in material and color. Different formats are allowed and even make the group more lively.
How wide should a passe-partout be?
Four to eight centimeters. A slightly wider bottom border appears optically calmer than an equally wide border all around.
Frames on the wall or on furniture?
Both work. On furniture, you remain flexible and don't have to drill; on the wall, you gain surface area and impact.
