When looking through your phone, you might come across some amazing memories from one of your photo galleries. It could be from a holiday with friends, a christening, or a family gathering. Perhaps it is a photo of your children when they were very young, or from any number of other social occasions from your past.

There aren’t many people out there who enjoy doing household chores such as dusting. For that reason, it is always nice to learn about new ways to keep items such as picture frames dust-free for longer. It can be extremely frustrating to see a new light layer of dust settling on your frames only one or two days after spending so much time cleaning them.

When people come to our store looking to purchase a picture frame, we often get asked the same types of questions, and they will usually be focused on the frame itself. 

“I have this photo that I would like to frame. What colour of frame would you recommend?”

For those of you who have booked onto a cruise or are thinking of doing so, and who also like to take photographs, perhaps on a handheld camera or a smartphone, have you ever thought about the best way to take these photos? I suppose the answer to this question will depend on how confident and expert a photographer you are.

When thinking about which would be the best colour of picture frame to go for, one thing that shouldn't influence the decision is what other people might choose. We do, however, for whatever reason, have a curiosity of wanting to know how other people live, how they are decorating their house, what themes they are opting for this season, what colour scheme they have chosen, whether they are going for the minimalistic look and much more besides.

We all have them: a number of amazing art prints from last year's summer holiday, a vintage music concert poster that we managed to find in a local record shop, or perhaps a collection of photos that we have taken during the last few years that are stored on our phones, which are patiently waiting for us to bring them to life by printing and framing them.

When purchasing a custom picture frame online something that can put some people off is when it comes to the measuring. Again, I emphasise the word "some" here as the majority of people have no issues when it comes to providing the measurements. But for others, it is not so easy, and they are not as confident about the whole process. "What if I get it wrong?" Or "What if the frame arrives and my picture doesn’t fit?"

This summer has already been a record breaker in terms of temperatures. You could be forgiven for thinking you are in Cyprus, Spain or Portugal, to name just a few of the countries that you would normally associate with this type of weather in the month of June.

We have been enjoying plenty of hot, sunny days here in the UK in recent weeks; some would go as far as to say it’s been too hot and humid. The summer has certainly started with a bang weather-wise, and it seems from what the reports say that we have plenty more fine days to come. During these periods, people tend to spend a lot more time outdoors, for obvious reasons.

Have you ever sorted through some of your old photos, excitedly looking for the ideal ones to frame, perhaps it’s for a gift or simply to display on your own walls, you have an idea of what you are looking for, but then things take a turn for the worse after you find them and notice that they are damaged? I guess that most of us have at some point in the past.
