Budget Framing, Big Impact: IKEA Picture Frames You’ll Love


Top IKEA Frames for Art & Gallery Walls
Whether you’re curating a gallery wall or just looking for the perfect frame for your favorite print, IKEA has some of the best budget-friendly options out there. Here’s everything you need to know about their picture frames, plus some styling ideas that won’t scream flat-pack.

RÖDALM – Classic and minimal, with a deep profile and mat included. Perfect for  modern styling.

LOMVIKEN – Sleek metal frame with a high-end look. Great for bold prints, photography, or a minimalist finish.

SANNAHED – Deep-set box frame for a shadowbox effect. Ideal for textured or standout pieces.

FISKBO – Lightweight and affordable. Best for posters, seasonal art, or renter-friendly gallery walls.

Gallery Wall Inspiration Using IKEA Frames

Mix and match different frame styles for an eclectic look, or stick to one frame type for a clean, minimalist feel.
Try symmetrical layouts for a tidy, structured vibe, or go for an organic layout if you want something more relaxed and playful.
Combine various sizes, smaller prints work well around a larger centrepiece. 
Plan your layout using paper templates before hanging. Use command strips if you want to avoid drilling holes, especially in rentals.

Tips for Making IKEA Frames Look More Expensive

Swap the plastic front for real glass if you want a more premium feel, especially for larger prints.
Add a thick, custom mat to give your art breathing room and create that high-end gallery look.
Always use high-quality prints, skip standard printer paper and go for textured or heavyweight stock.
Paint or spray-paint the frame to match your space. A simple colour tweak can completely transform a budget frame.
