Picture frames can be used creatively in home decor for purposes beyond just framing art. Some ideas include creating a kid's art gallery by hanging empty frames and attaching artwork with clips, using frames on shelves to display books or knickknacks, making a mug display case with framed cubbies, framing towel racks in the bathroom, adding a decorative frame around a vanity mirror, and styling menu boards and grocery lists within frames. Picture frames found at thrift stores can be refinished and transformed into unique home decor elements.
