When it comes to interactive frame designs, think about combining aesthetic with practicality. Adding practical details like lights, shelves, protective sleeves etc. will transform the item you are framing, along with the frame, into a next level interactive experience! Today, we’re giving you some ideas on where and how to use interactive frames in different settings.
​

Children's room

We love using interactive frame designs for children’s spaces. This frame type allows parents to create a storybook display of their child’s evolving creativity using trinkets, collections or toys that would otherwise be on the floor or hidden away.

"This functional yet artistic approach makes the frame a living, breathing showcase of childhood creations that everyone can admire,
​all while keeping small toys neat and tidy."
-Le Frame Shoppe

A fun backdrop that pulls from the room’s decor or that carries the theme of the toy on display, helps set the stage for your child’s imagination.

In this case, a black and white checkered background reminiscent of the race car aesthetic, was used. The small shelves that fit within the frame, encourage a place for kids to set up creative groupings of their items as they play out a story.

​Lego can be corralled with an interactive frame design that both kids and adults will adore.

A lego plate becomes the backdrop in conjunction with blocks of multi-coloured matting, that reflect both the lego colours and shape. The inside of the frame is lined where tiny lego pieces can adhere for unlimited interactive fun as you child builds directly within the frame!

Family room

Family rooms are wonderful spaces to showcase collections and memorabilia. Highlighting these objects with interactive frames means that you can still access the items within the frame, pull them out to show your guests, or rotate new pieces to and from the frame with ease, all while being displayed with the same level of reverence as art.

​Work with the style of the objects you are framing for a seamless look that will elevate your framed piece.

Deep woods and neutral fabric backings work beautifully with these vintage collections that incorporate pegs, and shelves to allow the items to be removed.

Clean-lined moulding with a matching mat offers a more modern vibe to this display of sports cards. These cards use protective sheets and can be accessed and moved around.

Bedroom

​When it comes to making artwork shine—literally and figuratively—frames with built-in lighting are an outstanding innovation. These frames can incorporate LED lights or other lighting features that illuminate the artwork in dramatic or subtle ways, making the art stand out and adding an extra level of ambiance to the room. This type of frame design is the perfect addition to a bedroom as it can create that dreamy glow while you’re trying to wind down at the end of the day.

"The beauty of a frame with lighting is that
it transforms how the artwork is viewed."
-Le Frame Shoppe

​A simple portrait, photo or object, when lit with soft backlighting, takes on a whole new life, with the light creating depth and highlighting textures or colours.
​

Office

In an office setting, we always say, make your walls work for you.

It’s incredibly motivating to surround your work space with accomplishments and objects that say something about your career or your business journey.

"Utilize items that help tell the story of your achievements or business history as art for the space."
-Le Frame Shoppe

​This becomes easy with interactive frames. Meaningful items that might be cumbersome and require storage or that still get used periodically can now be featured on your walls and accessed when needed.

Using brand colours in your frame design are a further way to showcase your business or select details that are timeless.
