Allington Range Multi-Aperture Collage Frame (30 x 20 in)
Brand: Frame Company. This collage frame is designed to display multiple photos in a single, cohesive layout. The frame is crafted from foil wrapped MDF with a 20 mm width molding and a 15 mm depth. It is built to hang or stand in either portrait or landscape orientation. Larger formats (over 14×11 inches) are intended for hanging only, which helps maintain stability for larger photo grids.
Best for: Interior designers and families who want a bold, organized photo wall. The 6-aperture setup enables a dynamic storytelling effect across several images.
Caution: Larger frames are recommended to be wall-mounted to ensure secure display—avoid freestanding placement if the wall support isn’t sturdy enough.
Frame Allington Range 10×8 Beech Frame
Brand: Frame Company. This picture frame includes a white 2-aperture mount, designed for image sizes around 7×5 inches (portrait). The beech finish gives a warm, natural look that complements many decors. The frame is made to order in the UK and can be hung or stood in portrait or landscape alignment.
Best for: Small photo collections, desk displays, or gift-ready arrangements. The 2-aperture design keeps two photos together for a tidy look.
Limitation: Suitable for smaller photos; consider other sizes if you want to showcase more images per frame.
Frame Allington Range 14 x 11 Beech Frame
Brand: Frame Company. This 14×11-inch frame uses a white 2-aperture mount to display two photos side by side in a portrait layout. The UK-made frame features foil-wrapped MDF molding at 20 mm width and 15 mm depth and can be hung or stood depending on your wall needs.
Best for: Creating a classic two-image display with a consistent beech finish. Its size suits standard family photos or art prints.
Limitation: Only supports two images; not ideal if you want more than two photos in a single frame.
Allington Range 40×40 cm White Frame
Brand: Frame Company. This white square frame features a four-aperture mount, designed to hold four separate photos in a clean, modern arrangement. It is made to order in the UK with a similarly styled molding and provides flexible portrait-orientations depending on the arrangement.
Best for: Modern wall galleries where a balanced four-photo grid is desired. Its neutral white finish blends with various color schemes.
Limitation: Four photos require careful planning to ensure even spacing within the grid layout.
Allington Range 14 x 11 Beech Frame (Alternative Listing)
Brand: Frame Company. This listing presents a 14×11-inch beech frame with a white 2-aperture mount for two photos. It follows the same UK-made construction and hanging/standing display options as the other Allington Range frames, offering a cohesive look with the rest of the line.
Best for: Pairing with other 14×11 frames for a symmetrical wall collage or for showcasing two portrait photos with a consistent frame style.
Limitation: Similar size and aperture count to other options; choose this if you need a matching alternative in a two-photo format.
