Have you ever wondered why double picture frames are found in just about every home? Well if you’ve never used a double frame you’re missing out on one of the most versatile and affordable frames around. This article will share some of the benefits of double picture frames and give you some ideas of how you can use double picture frames in your home.

Here are just a few reasons why double picture frames are so widely used:
1) they are more economical than the cost of buying two separate picture frames
2) they’re available in a wide range of styles, colors and finishes
3) they take up less space than two separate picture frames
4) they’re used for more than just displaying two separate photos

Many people use double picture frames because they have two pictures they want displayed together and don’t want to take up extra space with two frames. This space savings makes double frames a versatile choice for many compact spaces. If you have limited space for displaying your pictures, a hinged double picture frame is perfect for small spaces.  With no easel back stand, a hinged picture frame stands on its own and folds easily for storage.

A double frame is really an ideal match for any two items that would look good displayed together. If you need some ideas of what you could display, here are 5 things you can do with double picture frames.

Engagement Pictures

Double picture frames are a perfect way to display an engagement photo along with the couple’s wedding announcement or newspaper clipping. This lets you display the announcement next to the engagement photo while keeping it safe and protected. This makes a great engagement gift and gives the couple a nice keepsake to enjoy.

Anniversary Celebration

No matter what anniversary year is being celebrated, double frames are a perfect way to celebrate a marriage and the years together. You can place a current picture of the couple on one side and their wedding photo on the other to show the years they’ve celebrated together. If the anniversary is a milestone year, like the 25th or 50th, you can place an anniversary picture on one side and an invitation to an anniversary celebration or a newspaper clipping announcing your many years together on the other. An anniversary picture frame, whether a double or single frame, makes a wonderful reminder of the years together.

Graduation Pictures

Double frames are a great way to share graduation photos. You can display a graduation portrait on one side and have the graduate receiving a diploma on the other side or have photo of the graduate with family members or friends. Capturing this special day and recognizing the graduate’s achievement is a great use of a graduation double photo frame and always makes a great graduation gift.

Pet Pictures

Double picture frames are an interesting way to display pictures of your pets. Whether you have just one pet or a bunch, a double picture frame is a great way to display your furry friends in any number of photo combinations.

Genealogy

The popularity of genealogy and the love of old family photos is a perfect use for double picture frames. There are lots of ways to display family photos but double frames let you group 2 photos of relatives together in a single frame. Often times, grandparents are placed on one side of the frame and great-grandparents go on the other side. Or, if you have photos of each grandparent separately, you can place a grand parent on each side. Double frames give you a simple way to connect generations in a single double frame and keep your family tree together.
