16×20 Frame FAQ
- 1. Is a 16×20 frame the same as the image size?
- Yes — a 16×20-inch frame is designed to fit artwork of the same size. The frame's opening is often cut slightly larger (about 1/8") to ensure the image fits smoothly.
- 2. Can I use mats or larger frames?
- Absolutely! A common approach is using a larger frame—like 18×24 or 20×24—with a 16×20 mat opening. This adds a stylish border and creates dramatic visual impact.
- 3. What are best placement tips for a 16×20 frame?
- A 16×20 frame works as a standalone statement or part of a gallery wall. For gallery layouts, use multiple in a grid for symmetry or mix with other sizes for an organic look. When hanging, aim to place the center of the frame at eye level (~57 inches from the floor), and leave 2–3 inches between adjacent frames.
- 4. What material should I choose—wood, metal, glass, or acrylic?
- - **Wood frames** offer warmth and texture, ideal for both rustic and classic aesthetics. **Glass** provides clarity but is heavier and more fragile. - **Acrylic (plexiglass)** is lighter and shatter-resistant—great for homes, especially with kids or pets.
- 5. How do I prevent photos from slipping inside the frame?
- A helpful tip is to insert a piece of cardboard or paper behind the photo to apply gentle pressure that keeps it snug—no tape needed.
