Where to get your frames...

Hello lovely people!
One of the most popular queries I get is about Frames and where to buy them.
Framing your prints is just as important as choosing them in the first place! So, I thought I’d pull together a quick round up of some of my favourite places to buy frames in the UK, all organised by price point, so you can find something that fits your budget and style. Let’s dive in, shall we?
**IKEA** – The Budget-Friendly Gem!
Oh, IKEA, you’ve done it again! With frames starting at just £1, it’s hard not to fall in love. They have a fab selection of modern and minimalist frames that are perfect for any room in your home. If you’re like me and love a good gallery wall, IKEA is the place to go for those budget-friendly finds. Just grab a few and mix and match!
**The Range** – For Style on a budget!
If you follow me on instagram, you will know that I am a big Range frame fan girl! It is literally a treasure trove of frames in all shapes and sizes. Their frames range from £2 to £40, and trust me, you’ll find something to suit your taste—whether it’s rustic, chic, or somewhere in between. I love popping in there for a little retail therapy and coming out with some beautiful frames for my latest creations!
**John Lewis** – A Touch of Class!
Now, if you’re looking to treat yourself (or someone special!), John Lewis is the place to go. With frames starting around £5 and going up to £100+, you’ll find quality pieces that really elevate your decor. Plus, the staff are super helpful, so don’t hesitate to ask for their recommendations!
**Etsy** – For Unique Finds!
Etsy is like a little slice of heaven for anyone who loves handmade and vintage goodies. You can find beautiful frames starting from around £10, but prices can go up depending on the artist. It’s a fantastic way to support small businesses while adding a unique touch to your home. Just wait until you see some of the stunning designs available!
**Online Retailers (Amazon, eBay)** – All the Choices!
If you’re in the mood for some online shopping, or you want that next day delivery buzz (that can’t be just me?), Amazon and eBay have got you covered! Prices can range from £10 to £150+, so you can find everything from budget options to more luxurious frames. Just make sure to read the reviews before you hit that buy button!
**FrameNET** – Custom Magic!
For those special pieces that need a bit of TLC, FrameNET offers custom framing solutions. Prices start from £20 and can go up to £300+, but the quality and personal touch you get are worth every penny. These are an investment piece and will last you a lifetime!
**Society6** – Art with a Twist!
If you love supporting artists, Society6 is a fabulous choice. Their custom frames start at around £30 and can go up depending on the size and design. You’ll find some truly gorgeous options that add a little flair to your space.
**Local Art Supply Stores** – For the Crafty Souls!
Lastly, don’t forget about your local art supply stores! They often carry high-quality frames, and while they can be pricier (usually £30 to £250+), the craftsmanship is stunning. Plus, you can get some great advice from the staff about what will work best for your art.
**Little Northern Nook** - Extra Special
These little gems are frames I've been lusting over for ages (who knew frame lust was even a thing), an independent artist who handcrafts bobbin and chequerboard photo frames and oh my, they are just beautiful. Check her out on Insta: @Littlenorthernnook or Etsy @littlenorthernook.etsy.com
** make your own ** - for the artists amongst us
buy a budget frame and pimp it out. All you need is some primer, masking tape and some paint. Try it on a cheaper frame first but you can add bobbins, stripes, neon the options are endless!
In Conclusion
So there you have it! Whether you’re on a budget or looking to splurge a little, there’s a frame out there for everyone. Happy framing, and remember to fill those frames with fun!
