Why Choose Black Picture Frames?

Black picture frames remain one of the most versatile and timeless choices for showcasing artwork, photography, and certificates. Their bold yet neutral tone creates a striking contrast that instantly draws attention to the artwork inside. Whether it’s a colourful print, a soft pastel sketch, or a black-and-white photograph, it works for everything.

One of the biggest advantages of black photo frames is their versatility in adapting to various spaces. They fit seamlessly into modern and industrial interiors, look refined in classic or traditional rooms, and are often the go-to option for professional galleries and exhibitions. This thing makes them a safe yet stylish choice, no matter how frequently you update your décor.

Black picture frames also work brilliantly when combined with other frame colours in a gallery wall. Pair them with white, oak, or gold picture frames to achieve balance and variety while maintaining a cohesive look. Their deep tone helps anchor the wall visually. It gives structure to the overall arrangement.

For professional settings such as offices, studios, and photography displays, black photo frames provide a clean, formal finish. They convey sophistication without overshadowing the artwork itself. Furthermore, they ensure that the focus remains on the subject.

At Alison Kingsgate, our black picture frames are meticulously crafted and available in a wide range of sizes and styles. This thing makes them an excellent choice for both personal and professional use.

Sizes & Customisation Options For Black Picture Frames

Our black picture frames are available in a wide range of standard sizes, including popular formats such as A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, and A6. Moreover, we also offer classic dimensions, such as 40 × 50 cm, 50 × 70 cm, and 16 × 14 inches. These options make it easy to find a ready-made fit for most photographs, posters, or prints.

For customers looking for something more specific, we also offer Made-to-Measure Black Picture Frames. This service ensures your frame is tailored exactly to your artwork, whether it’s an oversized poster, a panoramic photograph, or a custom-sized piece of art.

To enhance presentation, you can choose to add a Picture Mount (also known as a mat board). Photo Mounts not only protect the surface of your artwork but also add space between the glazing and print. It gives a professional gallery-style look. Popular combinations include:

• A3 print displayed in a 40 × 50 cm picture frame with mount
• A4 print displayed in a 30 × 40 cm picture frame with mount
• A5 print displayed in a 20 × 30 cm picture frame with mount

Our picture mounts are available in a variety of colours, including ice white, pure black, mid grey, and vibrant tones. It allows you to create contrast or complement your chosen artwork. Keep in mind that using a mount requires a larger frame size than your print alone. For example, an A3 print with a mount typically fits best in a 40 × 50 cm picture frame.

By offering both standard and custom picture frame sizes along with versatile mount options, we make it simple to create a perfect fit for your art, photographs, or certificates.

Care & Maintenance Of Black Picture Frames

To keep your black picture frames looking their best for years, follow these simple care and handling tips:

• Regular Dusting: Gently wipe the frame with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive pads or strong cleaning agents, as they can damage the finish.
• Cleaning the Glazing: For acrylic or glass glazing, use a microfibre cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Never use ammonia-based cleaners on acrylic, as this can cause clouding or surface damage.
• Sunlight Protection: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause artwork or photographs to fade. Choose UV acrylic glazing for added protection against fading and discolouration.
• Safe Hanging: Each picture frame is supplied with secure hanging fittings. Use appropriate wall hooks or fixings for your wall type to ensure stability.

By following these care tips, your black frames will maintain their finish, durability, and visual impact. They ensure your artwork and photos remain well-protected.
