Understanding the dimension of IKEA picture frames vs the standard UK paper sizes

Navigating IKEA's picture frame aisle can be a breeze once you understand how their metric frame sizes relate to the standard UK paper sizes you're familiar with. While IKEA's 30x40 cm or 50x70 cm measurements are precise, figuring out if your A4 or A3 print will fit perfectly, or if it will require a mount, can be tricky. This guide is here to help you match your prints to the ideal IKEA frame
