Square Picture Frames 11×11 inches

Square Picture Frames 11×11 Inches – A Compact Square Frame with Real Presence

Most homes have a gap between the little frames on the mantelpiece and the large statement pieces above the sofa. Our square picture frames 11×11 inches are made to fill it. At about 27.9 x 27.9 cm, this frame is big enough to be noticed from across the room. It is also small enough to fit on a narrow wall beside a doorway, above a radiator or between two windows, where a larger frame would feel cramped.

We make it from smooth MDF, glaze it with HD plexiglass instead of glass, and finish it in black, white, oak or rustic. The hanging hooks come fitted to the back, so all you need to add is the picture.

Who Is the 11×11 Size For?

More people than you might think. Square images are everywhere now: phone photos printed in square format, art prints from independent illustrators, children’s paintings on square sheets, and cross-stitch or embroidery pieces. An 11 inch frame shows all of these off with a little more presence than the usual 10×10.

Here’s why customers often pick square picture frames 11×11 inches over the neighbouring sizes:

• It’s a flexible size. It holds an 11×11 inch print edge to edge, or a smaller square image with a mount around it.
• It works well in groups. Four or six of these hung in a grid read as one tidy block, rather than a scatter of separate pictures.
• It fits awkward walls. Alcoves, landings and the strip of wall beside a bookcase all suit this size.
• It’s easy on the budget. If you’re filling a whole gallery wall, a mid-sized frame keeps the overall cost sensible.

If you want something slightly smaller, the 10×10 inch square frame is the next size down. For a little more impact, try the 13×13 inch square frame.

What You Get: Frame Specifications

Every one of our square picture frames 11×11 inches is made to the same specification:

Feature	Detail
Artwork size	11 x 11 inches (approx. 27.9 x 27.9 cm)
Material	MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard)
Moulding width	30 mm
Frame depth	15 mm
Rebate	8 mm
Glazing	HD plexiglass
Colours	Black, White, Oak, Rustic
Finish	Wood grain (black, oak, rustic); plain (white)
Hanging	Fitted hanging hooks

A 30 mm moulding is fairly wide for a frame this size. That’s intentional. A wider border gives smaller artwork more weight on the wall and makes the frame look more modern than a thin, fussy edge would. The 15 mm depth keeps the profile neat, and the 8 mm rebate holds the plexiglass, your picture and the backing board firmly in place.

We use MDF because it behaves well. It doesn’t twist or crack as the heating goes on and off through the year, and its surface is smooth, so the colour finishes go on evenly without knots or blemishes.

Why We Use Plexiglass Instead of Glass

We fit HD plexiglass to all our square picture frames 11×11 inches for practical reasons. It is clear enough to show the colour and detail of a photograph properly. It is noticeably lighter than glass. And if a frame gets knocked off a wall or a shelf, it won’t break into sharp shards, which matters in a child’s bedroom or a busy hallway. It also survives the post better, so fewer frames arrive damaged.

Each sheet comes with a protective film on both sides. Peel both off before you put your picture in, or the image will look cloudy.

Picking a Finish

The square picture frames 11×11 inches come in four finishes. The right choice usually depends more on the room than on the picture.

Black has a subtle wood-grain texture, so it looks richer than flat black paint. It’s the safe choice for black-and-white photography, line drawings and typographic prints, and it looks sharp against pale walls.

White is a plain, smooth finish. It suits bright rooms, Scandinavian-style interiors and colourful artwork that you don’t want a heavy border to compete with. On a white wall, the frame almost fades away and the picture seems to float.

Oak brings warmth. Its natural-looking grain pairs well with wooden furniture, plants and neutral colour schemes, and it’s a lovely match for family photos and botanical prints.

Rustic has a weathered, textured grain with plenty of character. Choose it for cottage kitchens, country-style living rooms, vintage maps or old family photographs that deserve a softer, lived-in setting.

Where to Hang an 11×11 Frame

Because square picture frames 11×11 inches are moderate in size, they work in places larger frames can’t reach:

• Kitchen: a single oak or rustic frame with a food print or recipe illustration above a worktop.
• Children’s room: a row of white frames for rotating artwork. Swap in the latest painting whenever a new masterpiece comes home from school.
• Hallway or landing: a grid of four or six matching frames, with gaps of around 5 to 8 cm between them.
• Home office: a black frame with a favourite photo or print, hung where it shows up nicely behind you on video calls.
• Picture ledge: lean two or three frames together in mixed finishes for a relaxed, layered look.

A Thoughtful Gift

A framed print in this size makes an easy, personal present. Frame a first photo of a new baby, a favourite holiday snap, a pet portrait or a song lyric printed in your own words, and it’s ready to give. For bigger celebrations, our wedding photo frames are worth a look too.

Framing Your Picture, Step by Step

1. Lay the frame face down on a towel or soft cloth so the finish doesn’t get scratched.
2. Open the fixings on the back and lift out the backing board.
3. Take out the plexiglass and peel the film off both sides.
4. Give the plexiglass a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth.
5. Put the plexiglass back in, then place your picture face down on top of it.
6. Press the backing board in and close the fixings.
7. Turn the frame over and check for dust or hairs. If you find any, open it up and give it another wipe before hanging.

Looking After Your Frame

Dust the moulding now and then with a dry cloth. For the plexiglass, use a microfibre cloth with a little mild soapy water or an acrylic-safe cleaner. Kitchen roll and ordinary glass sprays can leave fine scratches or a hazy film on acrylic. Try not to hang the frame in strong direct sunlight, which fades most prints over time, and keep it out of steamy bathrooms, as damp isn’t good for MDF or paper.
