front-opening frames

Since kids create art constantly, you might want to choose between front-opening frames and traditional ones to display it.
Between school projects, free drawing time, and seasonal crafts, new artwork appears quickly.
Choosing the right type of frame can make a big difference in how easy it is to display, protect, and rotate those creations.
When it comes to showcasing art, picking the right solution is important.
Each solution offers benefits depending on how your family manages children’s artwork.

What Are Front-Opening Art Frames?

They allow artwork to be changed without removing the frame from the wall. The front panel opens easily so you can slide artwork in and out. Many of these include built-in storage behind the display area, helping manage a steady flow of new artwork.

Benefits of Traditional Frames for Children’s Artwork

Traditional frames provide a finished look that blends into home décor. They are ideal for artwork you plan to display long-term and typically cost less per frame, making them budget-friendly for curated displays.

Which Frame Style Is Best for Your Family

Front-opening frames suit families who rotate artwork often and want convenience. Traditional frames are better for milestone pieces. Using both styles together often works best.

The Best Way to Display Art!

The best frame depends on how often the artwork is updated and how involved your child is.
Front-opening frames offer flexibility, while traditional ones provide a timeless look and structure.
