Tips for Caring for your Pressed Flower Frames

Pressed flower frames are a beautiful way to preserve your special flowers. Whether you have pressed flower art from a special occasion or have bought an original piece, proper care ensures your pressed flowers remain vibrant for years to come. Here are our top tips for looking after your framed flowers.

1. Keep Away from Direct Sunlight

Sunlight can cause pressed flowers to fade over time. Display your frame in a shaded area or a space with indirect light to help preserve the colours.

2. Avoid Humid Areas

Moisture can cause pressed flowers to warp or develop mould. Keep your frame away from bathrooms, kitchens, or areas with high humidity.

Tip: Hang in landing, hallways, living rooms and areas with low humidity. 

3. Handle with Care

Pressed flowers are delicate, and even inside a frame, they can shift or break if handled roughly.

Tip: When moving your frame, hold it by the edges to avoid unnecessary pressure on the glass and backing.

4. Clean Gently

Dust can accumulate on the glass over time, dulling the clarity of your frame.

Tip: Use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe the glass surface gently. Avoid using harsh cleaning sprays, as they may seep into the frame and damage the flowers.

5. Keep Away from Heat Sources

Excessive heat from radiators, fireplaces, or direct exposure to warm lights can dry out pressed flowers too much, making them brittle.

Tip: Display your frame in a cool, stable-temperature room to maintain the longevity of the flowers.

6. Check for Frame Tightness

Over time, frames can loosen slightly, which may allow dust or moisture to enter.

Tip: Periodically check that your frame is securely sealed, and if needed, reseal the edges to keep the flowers protected.

A little care goes a long way in preserving the beauty of your pressed flower frames. By following these simple tips, you can enjoy your floral art for many years to come.
