A custom frame has the ability to enhance your piece and make it unique. Whether you\u2019re highlighting a black-and-white family heirloom, showcasing a colorful print, or preserving keepsakes in a shadow box, the right frame makes your display stand out. Make sure to consider the wood moulding type you want. What finish color complements the room you\u2019re in? How thick do you want the moulding to be? Will your frame include a mat? What color is the mat? A handcrafted custom frame can be the detail that turns a simple decoration into a meaningful design.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a30bfc7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a30bfc7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08eea8a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"08eea8a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CF-Blog-banner-image-1_970x250.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19949\" alt=\"Custom photo frames and certificate frame products displayed above desk with Shop Now button\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CF-Blog-banner-image-1_970x250.png 970w, https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CF-Blog-banner-image-1_970x250-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CF-Blog-banner-image-1_970x250-768x198.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e171286 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e171286\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed47b4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed47b4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><b>Choose the Right Height &amp; Placement\u00a0<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting the height and placement right is key to making any frame look professionally hung. One of the most common mistakes people make is placing frames too high. The general rule of thumb: Hang frames at eye level\u2014about 57\u201360 inches from the floor to the center of the frame.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re hanging above furniture, leave a 6\u20138 inch gap between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame. This creates a natural connection between the two and makes the room appear cohesive.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>How to Space &amp; Align Multiple Frames\u00a0<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re creating a gallery wall or displaying multiple pieces, strategic spacing and alignment are key to achieving a clean, professional look. Follow these tips to make sure your frames are arranged well:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave 2\u20133 inches of space between frames.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Align frames along their tops, bottoms, or centers for consistency.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use painter\u2019s tape or paper templates to map out your layout before you start hanging.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering these extra steps allows you to visualize the arrangement, ensuring your wall looks balanced and intentional.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92d427e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"92d427e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ecae27a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ecae27a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/How-to-Hang-Photo-Frames-Like-a-Pro-Blog-collage-2-1024x512.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-19978\" alt=\"collage of 4 steps for hanging a frame - measurement, marking, hammering, hanging, and checking level\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/How-to-Hang-Photo-Frames-Like-a-Pro-Blog-collage-2-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/How-to-Hang-Photo-Frames-Like-a-Pro-Blog-collage-2-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/How-to-Hang-Photo-Frames-Like-a-Pro-Blog-collage-2-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/How-to-Hang-Photo-Frames-Like-a-Pro-Blog-collage-2-1536x768.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.customframes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/How-to-Hang-Photo-Frames-Like-a-Pro-Blog-collage-2.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36420ae e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"36420ae\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c61b158 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c61b158\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hanging Your Frame\u00a0<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve acquired your frame, secured your photo or artwork inside, and decided what wall it will go on, it\u2019s time to start hanging.
