Everyone has a collection of favourite photos and memories stored on their phones, cameras and other devices. These pictures and memories should be printed and proudly displayed on a wall in an elegant and artistic way using multi photo frames. Multi aperture collage frames come in dozens of different styles and layouts to suit every type of style and home. There’s plenty of reasons why multi photo frames are so popular, and we will show you the top eight reasons why people love choosing a multi photo frame.
1. Display a Large Collection of Photos in One Frame
When it comes to telling your story, sometimes one photo is just not enough! This is why using a picture frame that offers multiple windows for showing several photos can be the perfect choice for displaying your pictures. For example, the photo below shows a popular black multi photo picture frame which can display 10 photos in one frame.
2. Multi Frames Help to Tell a Story
They say a picture says a thousand words. So, using multiple pictures and photos is going to be the best way to tell your story, with a multi photo frame display. For example, you could tell your story about your favourite holiday travels, using photos that that show the sights, landmarks and scenery of your adventures!
This example below is our popular Grey Wooden Multi photo frame.
A multi photo collage frame could also become a storyboard frame, which shows photos from a personal timeline. Whether it be your family photos, your travels or even just your favourite memories, a multi picture photo frame can be the best way to display your most memorable moments.
For example, this Family Photo Frame is ideal for your favourite memories of times spent with loved ones:
3. Great Solution for Multiple Portraits
A multi photo collage frame can also help visually tie together a series of pictures or portraits, so that they all belong together, rather than looking detached in separate photo frames. For example, family photos of children, siblings, or even a combination of “son, father and grandfather” in the same frame can make a great display in a collage picture frame.

4. Collage Frames are Minimal to Display
If have a large collection of photos that you want to display without making your wall seem cluttered with too many picture frames, then a more minimal framing option is to use a multi photo frame. You could even create a feature wall display using multiple collage photo frames, without the risk of making your space feel too cluttered. Collage frames also take the guesswork out of image and frame arrangement, as they come in an appealing choice of eye-pleasing designs.
This example below is our popular Elegant White Gallery Collage Photo Frame which only takes up a wall space of 40x40cm.
5. Easy to Change & Switch Out Photos
Compared to hanging multiple picture frames, a single collage photo frame is quicker and easier to fit, swap or change out photos rather than having to open and fit several different frames.
6. Collage Frames are Easier to Hang
Multi-photo frames can also be much easier to hang compared to having a bunch of separated picture frames to have to try to layout and hang on your wall.
For example, trying to hang a trio of photos in three separate frames can be more time-consuming and difficult to hang, compared to hanging just one, single collage frame with multiple windows to display three photos. Keep in mind, you can also hang and display collage frames either vertically or horizontally, depending on your preference and the orientation of your photos.
7. Multi Photo Frames are an Economical Alternative to Multiple Frames
Buying a bunch of separate photo frames to frame some photos can add up in cost. However, buying a single collage frame can provide the same way to display several photos, without having to spend a fortune buying a bundle of picture frames.
8. Collage Photo Frames Make the Perfect Gift
When it comes to gifting, a framed collage of photos in a frame is the type of gift that can last a lifetime. Especially when the photos are family or special memories. Collage photo frame displays of kids are the best possible gifts for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or even a loving present for the grandparents on Christmas Day!

How Can I Choose a Collage Frame that will Best Suit My Pictures?
You want your multi photo frame to showcase your photos in the best way possible, for as long as possible, while also complementing your surrounding space and style. So, it’s important to choose the best quality photo frames that not only enhance your photos, but also protect them for years to come.
When it comes to design, here are some points to consider to best enhance the subjects of your photos:
- Black frames can highlight the darker tones of an image whilst also providing contrast for any lighter elements. So darker stained or black timber frames work well when you have a mixture of different tones.
- White frames also work well in a to positively lift an image and can work great on black and white photos. They also make an ideal choice for fun and casual photos too.
- Frames with lighter wood finishes such as natural oak are perfect to complement colourful photos with prominent cool tones such as greens and blues.
How Do I Fit My Photos into a Collage Frame?
When it comes to inserting your photos, collage frames are the same as normal photo frames with a matboard. However, depending on the size of the windows of the matboard, you may need to trim any large photos to fit. Just use a single strip of tape along the top of each photo to align it in the window and allow it to suspend and hang, without slipping inside the frame.

Where is the Best Place to Hang Collage Photo Frames?
Typically, a collage frame can make a great centerpiece or statement on a bedroom or lounge room wall. But multi photo frames don’t have to always have to be hung in main areas. A collage frame can be displayed in almost any space, such as a hallway, a foyer, an office or even the walls along a staircase. They can also be mixed and matched with other picture frames on display as well. Don’t forget that you have the choice of hanging your collage photo frame either vertically or horizontally to suit your wall space as well.
