Photo frames and trinkets to make a house feel like home

The small things do the heavy lifting when it comes to personality. A well-chosen photo frame turns a snapshot into something to treasure, and a scattering of trinket dishes, decorative boxes and keepsake pieces adds the finishing layer that makes a shelf or dressing table feel truly yours. Our range covers frames in every size from 4x6 inch to statement A3, plus jewellery dishes, lidded boxes, bookends and little collectables in wood, metal, glass and ceramic finishes to suit any style.

Whether you're building a gallery wall, dressing a mantel or hunting for a thoughtful gift, the advice below will help you choose and arrange pieces that feel considered — with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.

Choosing the right photo frame

Getting frames right is mostly about size and consistency.

  • Match the frame to the photo — standard sizes like 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10 inches suit most prints; a mount (the card border) lets a smaller photo fill a larger frame elegantly.
  • Pick a finish that echoes your room — warm woods for a cosy scheme, black or brass for something more contemporary, distressed painted frames for country and coastal.
  • Decide free-standing or wall-hung — look for frames with both a strut and hanging fixings if you want flexibility.
  • Keep a gallery wall cohesive — either one consistent frame colour with varied sizes, or one size in mixed finishes, so the wall reads as a set.

Styling trinkets and keepsakes

Trinket dishes, small boxes and decorative objects are the accents that stop a surface looking bare or, at the other extreme, cluttered. The florist's trick of odd numbers applies here too: group items in threes or fives at varying heights. Use a trinket dish beside the bed or on a hallway console to catch keys, rings and coins, and a lidded box to hide the less lovely everyday bits. Let one sculptural piece stand alone with space around it so it reads as intentional rather than lost in a crowd.

Building a layered, personal display

The most inviting displays mix heights, textures and personal meaning. Start with a larger anchor — a framed print or a stack of books — then layer smaller frames and trinkets in front, overlapping slightly for depth. Combine materials so nothing feels flat: a glass box beside a wooden frame beside a brass dish. Weave in a few genuinely personal pieces — a holiday keepsake, an heirloom, a child's drawing framed up — because it's the story behind the objects that makes a display feel like home rather than a showroom.

Caring for frames and small pieces

These pieces are low-effort to keep lovely. Dust frames and trinkets regularly with a soft, dry cloth, and clean glass fronts with a barely damp cloth or a little glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than the frame. Keep photographs out of strong direct sunlight to slow fading, and use museum putty or small felt pads to steady pieces on shelves and stop metal or ceramic scratching the surface beneath. Wrap fragile keepsakes in tissue if you box them away between seasons.

Frames & trinkets — frequently asked questions

What size photo frame do I need?

Match the frame to your print, using standard sizes like 4x6, 5x7 or 8x10 inches. If your photo is smaller than the frame, a mount board border lets it fill a larger frame neatly and gives the picture room to breathe.

How do I arrange a gallery wall of frames?

Keep it cohesive by choosing either one frame colour in varied sizes, or one size in mixed finishes. Lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep gaps even at around 5 to 8cm, and start hanging from the centre outward.

Can your frames stand on a shelf and hang on a wall?

Many of our frames include both a strut for free-standing use and fixings for wall hanging, giving you the flexibility to move them around. The exact fittings are noted in each product description.

What are trinket dishes and boxes used for?

They are small decorative pieces that are practical too. A trinket dish catches rings, keys and coins on a console or bedside table, while a lidded box hides everyday odds and ends and adds height to a styled surface.

How do I style ornamental trinkets without clutter?

Group items in odd numbers at different heights, mix a few materials for interest, and give one standout piece space around it. Two or three well-chosen objects per surface look far more considered than a crowd of small things.

Do you deliver safely, and can I return these pieces?

Yes. Every frame and trinket is carefully packed for fast UK delivery and covered by our 30-day returns policy, so you can order with confidence.
