Picture & photo frames

Using photo and picture frames is a great way to infuse your personal life into your decor. Frames offer a great way to make the people and places you love a natural part of every room in your home, as well as celebrate friends, family, cherished memories and past adventures. Either way, the right picture frame will help highlight, contrast or tie your photos in with the rest of your interior design.

Frames in sizes and styles of all kinds

IKEA sells an array of different picture frame styles, shapes and colors. 

Some are more basic and are available in sizes from 4" by 6" all the way to 24" by 35 3/4". Others are fixed in size but are more ornately designed to compensate. This can contribute as much to the décor as the picture it displays. 

Make sure to choose the color and style of the photo frame based on where you want to use it. A tip is to use contrasting colors to accentuate and bring attention to your picture. For example, a black picture frame goes very well on a bright wall, while a white or silver frame does a good job of making your picture pop on a darker surface. 

Complete your frames with picture mounts

A picture mount is like a secondary frame, inside the frame. It’s a piece of paper or cardboard that sits between your picture and the glass of the frame. It’s used both for decoration and to prevent your photo from touching the glass. 

A picture mount is particularly striking when framing small prints in large picture frames. And this makes it easier for you to find a frame that fits, since you can frame smaller pictures in larger frames. 

While picture mounts are included with most IKEA frames, they can always be removed if you prefer to not use one. You’ll find all the information and measurements you need in each frame’s product description.
