What frame accessories are available?
There are several types of accessories you can use, depending on the kind of frame, poster, or wall décor you want to create. Some accessories are mainly practical, while others affect the look and feel of the framing.
- Hanging kits for easy, secure mounting.

- Poster clips for a simpler, more flexible and pared-back look.

What is a mat, and when should you use one?
A mat is a piece of framing board or paper placed between the print and the frame. It creates space around the poster and makes the print feel more prominent and premium.
A mat is especially useful when you want to give a smaller print more presence in a larger frame, or create a more classic, gallery-like feel on the wall.
- Gives the print more space and a more elegant look.
- Works well when the print is smaller than the frame.
- Creates a more premium, polished feel.
- Especially well suited to photographs, art prints and minimalist posters.
How do you choose the right hanging hardware for pictures and frames?
The right hanging hardware depends on the frame’s size and weight, as well as the type of wall you’re hanging it on. Smaller prints and frames can often be hung with simpler solutions, while larger frames require more secure mounting.
When creating a gallery wall, it’s especially important to hang everything evenly and securely. This gives the arrangement a more professional look and makes it easier to keep the frames in position over time.
- Choose sturdier hanging hardware for larger, heavier frames.
- Choose hanging hardware to suit the wall material and the weight of the frame.
- Measure carefully before hanging several pictures together.
- Use the right accessories to prevent frames from hanging crooked or feeling unstable.
How do you create a stylish gallery wall with accessories?
A gallery wall often looks best when the prints, frames and accessories all work together. With the right hanging hardware, spacing and, if desired, a mat, you can create a wall that feels balanced and well thought out.
Try laying the prints out on the floor before hanging them. That way, you can try different arrangements and see how the frames, sizes and colors work together.
- Leave even spacing between frames for a clean, stylish look.
- Use the same type of frame if you want to create a calm, cohesive wall.
- Mix formats and sizes for a more personal gallery wall.
- Use a mat to create space and balance between different designs.
- Make sure the hanging hardware is secure, especially for larger frames.
Do frame accessories suit all interior styles?
Yes, frame accessories work with any interior style, whether you prefer minimalist, classic, modern, or more playful décor. It’s all about choosing the right details to create the look you want.
For a minimalist style, choose simple hanging solutions, clean lines, and neutral mats. For a more personal wall, you can mix different formats, frames, and designs while using accessories that tie everything together.
- Minimalist style – simple solutions, clean lines, and neutral colors.
- Classic style – mats, symmetry, and more traditional framing.
- Modern style – black frames, strong contrasts, and graphic arrangements.
- Personal style – a mix of formats, designs, and materials with a considered balance.
