8 Different Uses of Double Picture Frames

If you’ve every wondered why double picture frames are so popular, here’s your chance to learn about the beauty of the double frame. 

Double frames come in a variety of styles, sizes and colors but it’s their 2-in-1 frame use that sets these frames apart from other picture frames. Double frames are commonly used for framing portraits of kids, twins and couples but they also have a wide variety of other uses. They are also used for framing pictures with one side for the portrait and other side for displaying an announcement or invitation. Here are just a few examples:

Double Sided Frame- Some double frames are also available as double sided photo frames. A double sided frame is great for areas where both sides of the frame are displayed.  This way you can enjoy looking at another picture instead of looking at an ugly frame back. Although these frames can be difficult to find, they are usually handmade by wood craftsmen and are beautiful works of art.

Wedding picture frame- One side is a wedding picture and the other could be a wedding invitation, wedding vows or a newspaper wedding announcement.

Engagement Photo Frame- One side is an engagement picture and the other could be an engagement announcement or a newspaper clipping. 

Baby Frame- One side is a new born baby picture and the other could be a sonogram picture, a baby announcement or a second picture with the parents holding the baby.

Anniversary Frame- One side is a wedding picture and the other side is a current anniversary picture many years later. You can also use a double picture frame to show an anniversary photo along with an anniversary party announcement.

Graduation Frame- You could have one side with a formal graduation portrait and the other side displaying a graduation announcement or a picture of the graduate receiving his/her diploma.

Pet Picture Frame- Instead of putting pictures of peoples, you could use your double frame to display a picture of your pets. If you have one pet or two, there are lots of combinations to proudly display your pets. You could have the two sides displaying each of your pets or you could have one picture of your horse and the other side with you riding your horse. 

Genealogy Frame- Double frames do a great job in showing genealogy with old pictures. You can either use them to display couples showing ancestry or use each side for displaying individual portraits linking couples. No matter how you use them, double frames can make tracking back old family members much easier when displaying pictures on a wall.

Double frames are also popular in areas where space is limited. If you have a small narrow space on a mantel or table, you can’t beat the space efficiency of a double hinged frame. Hinged frames are self standing so they don’t have an easel back stand so they take up very little space to display. You can also fold up hinged frames so they’re easy to store. For areas where wall space is a premium double frames are great because they take up less space than two individual frames and cost less too.  

With so many great uses, no wonder double frames are a popular frame in almost every home.
