The idea of framing pictures is older than you might think; depictions of frames have been found in Egyptian tombs and over the centuries materials and technology have changed. Today’s photo frames are likely to be made of metal or plastic, although you can still buy wooden frames for a more traditional look. Frames come in all shapes and sizes, and today’s frames can make a focal point in a room, and can be used to create an imaginative and attractive display of family photos. Framed photos don’t just have to go on the living room mantelpiece; try putting them over the stairs, in the bathroom or anywhere else in your home they’ll be noticed. Frames have embraced technology too and it’s now possible to display electronic photos and enjoy a slide show on your mantelpiece of constantly changing family photos.
