Buying picture frames online in Australia is convenient, affordable and gives you access to a wider range than you will usually find in store. The challenge is knowing what size you actually need and whether the frame will suit your photo or artwork once it arrives. With a few simple steps, you can order the right frame the first time without dealing with returns or wasted money.   This guide helps you feel confident when shopping for picture frames online in Australia.    

How to Buy Picture Frames Online the Right Way

Accurate measurements are the most important part of choosing a frame. Take your artwork or photo and measure the visible print area from edge to edge using a ruler or tape measure. Avoid rounding the numbers because even a few millimetres can impact how the artwork sits inside the frame.

If you need an exact fit, try the custom picture frame tool, which lets you enter your measurements for a perfect match.

For prints that match standard photo sizes, you can browse our standard size frames.

  To double check your artwork size, you can compare it against this quick Australian photo size chart below.

Decide Whether You Want a Mat Board

  A mat board creates space between your print and the frame, which gives your artwork more breathing room and a cleaner gallery style finish. Mats also help if your artwork is a non standard size. If you think your print would look better with extra spacing, you can explore our matboards range. Choose colours that complement your artwork. White, black and soft neutrals are the safest choices for most images.    

Choose the Right Frame Colour and Material

The right frame should match the style of your artwork and the feel of the room where it will be displayed. When buying picture frames online in Australia, these options are the most popular.  

Black frames

Great for bold prints and monochrome photography. Browse our black frame collection.

White frames

Ideal for coastal, bright and minimal interiors. Explore our white frame range.

Wood frames

Perfect for warm, natural and earthy home styles. View our wood photo frames.

Gold and silver frames

These work well for vintage posters or spaces that need a touch of elegance. You can browse both gold frames and silver frames.  

 

Check the Glazing Type

Different frames use different glazing materials. Acrylic glazing is lightweight, durable and shatter resistant, which makes it a smart choice for homes with children or renters who want safe options for wall mounting. If you prefer a clean, modern finish, you can explore our acrylic photo frames. For a frameless look, you may like acrylic photo blocks or acrylic photo panels.    

Review Mounting Hardware Before Buying

  Before ordering picture frames online, check what mounting hardware is included. Most frames are ready to hang, but if you need landscape and portrait flexibility, look closely at the product description. As a general guide, always check the weight limits of removable hooks if you plan to use them. You can review a simple weight guide for adhesive hooks online before choosing your hanging method.

Read Reviews and Compare Product Images

Take a moment to read customer reviews and look through the product photos. Many buyers share real photos of the frames in their home, which can help you imagine how the frame might look in your own space. This also gives you a better idea of colour accuracy and overall quality.  

Double Check Your Cart Before You Checkout

  Before placing your order, run through a quick final checklist.  

• size
• colour
• orientation
• mat board option
• quantity
• delivery address

This small step helps you avoid mistakes, especially if you are ordering multiple frames in different sizes.
