Gift ideas for design lovers – stylish photo products from WhiteWall

From the WhiteWall expert Jan-Ole Schmidt

Anyone who wants to make a design lover happy often faces the challenge of finding something that is not only functional but also meets the highest aesthetic standards. After all, people with a flair for design and form language look for one thing above all else in gifts: quality, originality, and timeless design.

A personalized photo gift in a high-quality finish offers exactly this combination – it is emotional, individual, and at the same time a design statement. WhiteWall offers an exceptional selection of products that meet this demand, combining photography with the highest level of craftsmanship and design expertise.

These are not just classic picture frames or standard formats, but well-thought-out presentation solutions that become design elements in their own right: for example, colorful designer frames with artistic appeal, display frames with an exhibition character, or minimalist fine art presentations on high-quality paper.

Whether for a birthday, anniversary, as a thank you, or simply as a special gesture, these gift ideas are perfect all year round. They offer inspiration for anyone who wants to give more than just an object—namely, a piece of design culture and a personal memory in one.

1. WhiteWall Design Edition by Studio Besau-Marguerre

The WhiteWall Design Edition is the perfect gift for anyone who loves design – and values not only the motif, but also the frame. In collaboration with the renowned Hamburg design studio Besau-Marguerre, an extraordinary series of frames has been created that stands out for its color sense, material quality, and contemporary design concept.

Instead of a uniform frame, each frame in this edition consists of four different-colored strips that blend harmoniously with each other. There are three elegant variants to choose from: yellow, green, and purple – each finely tuned and with a subtle color effect. This turns the frame itself into an art object that lends the picture additional depth and character.

• Available as a framed laminate, for example behind acrylic glass or on aluminum Dibond.

• Alternatively, as a fine art print with a passe-partout and designer frame – for a classic yet modern presentation.

• Ideal for design-oriented living spaces, creative studios, or as an eye-catcher in the office.

The WhiteWall Design Edition is a gift that combines aesthetic sensibility with high-quality craftsmanship – perfect for people who don't leave design to chance.

2. Display frames – exhibition character for special works

Design lovers appreciate products that are not only high-quality, but also allow for a special form of presentation. The display frame from WhiteWall meets exactly this requirement. With its extraordinary depth and clean lines, it gives photographs an appearance reminiscent of galleries and museums.

What makes this frame special is the generous distance between the image and the glass, which gives the work room to breathe. This makes the motif appear almost sculptural – it seems to float in the frame. This type of framing gives the photograph a new dimension and makes even smaller formats appear powerful.

• Particularly suitable for fine art prints, conceptual works, and unique pieces with artistic appeal.

• Combination of high-quality real wood frame and glass cover with spacer strips

• Ideal for rooms where art is deliberately staged – whether in living areas, creative studios, or as a single piece in the office

The display frame is the perfect gift for anyone looking for something special: a clear design language, a sophisticated visual effect, and a design with depth.

3. Pop Art Frame – Colorful accents for modern rooms

Design can also be loud – or rather: colorful, bold, and surprising. For anyone who enjoys expressive design and is looking for a gift with a strong impact, the Pop Art Frame from WhiteWall is just the thing.

This frame captures the color diversity and vibrancy of pop art and transfers it to a high-quality frame with gallery standards. Particularly striking: the colored strips are semi-transparent and available in colors such as red, yellow, green, or blue. They give the picture an energetic aura and at the same time make it a design element in the room.

• The frame is constructed with a shadow gap, which makes the picture appear to float freely in the frame—an effect that adds to the spatial depth.

• Ideal for color-intensive photographs, high-contrast motifs, or graphic artworks

• Particularly exciting in modern interiors with a reduced color palette, where the frame is used specifically as a colorful accent

The Pop Art frame is a gift for design enthusiasts who are not afraid of color – for people who enjoy unconventional solutions and expressive image design.

4. Wooden frame with passe-partout – classic elegance reinterpreted

But design doesn't have to be loud – sometimes its appeal lies precisely in its restraint. The wooden frame with passe-partout from WhiteWall is a perfect example of this. It combines classic framing with contemporary minimalism and impresses with its material quality, sense of form, and diverse design options.

This frame is ideal for motifs that radiate calm or cultivate a subtle, reduced visual language. The passe-partout gives the work a visual distance from the frame and, at the same time, a stage on which it can take effect.

• Available in various types of wood such as oak, alder, cherry, maple, or walnut, which complement both light and dark interior styles.

• The passe-partouts are available in several colors and widths, allowing you to perfectly match the design to the motif.

• Particularly suitable for portraits, nature motifs, black-and-white photography, or graphically reduced works

A gift with this frame not only showcases a special motif, but also a sense of stylish restraint and creative confidence.

5. WhiteWall gift voucher – give the gift of a design you can create yourself

If you want to give a gift to someone with an affinity for design but don't know their exact style or the right color combination, the WhiteWall gift certificate is a stylish and flexible solution.

Design lovers in particular often have a clear idea of how colors, materials, and formats should be integrated into their living or working environment. With a gift certificate, you enable them to design their own individual highlights – tailored to their room concept, style, and personal preferences.

• Redeemable for the entire WhiteWall range – from colored designer frames to minimalist acrylic glass presentations. The only restriction: the voucher cannot be redeemed for illustrated books when ordering via download software.

• Can be ordered online as a print version in an elegant design or as a digital version for printing yourself.

• Value freely selectable – ideal for individual gifts or as an addition to a small print or photo product

Particularly nice: we recommend combining the voucher with a small framed picture or a WhiteWall mini photo tile with a personal motif – as a symbolic introduction to the world of high-quality design presentation.
