The ikea photo frames They provide us with the necessary support to frame these photographs. You will not be short of options; you can choose between the warmth of the wood, the shine of the metal or soft notes of color. Then you just have to find a place to put them and choose the way to do it.
Ikea photo frames
Ikea's catalog of photo frames is extensive, so it won't be difficult to find frames that fit both your practical and aesthetic needs. You will find frames of different sizes and with different designsThe most numerous being those made of fibreboard in natural colors, white or black.
- Wood colour. Natural color fiber photo frames will warm the space. They will look great in Nordic-style settings whether they are hanging on the wall or resting on a shelf. All of them will also allow you to choose to frame your photos with or without a mat and create different depth effects by playing with the position of the subject.
- With metallic finish. Gold frames have been a part of our homes for decades. They are the favorites to decorate classic-style spaces. Those with a matte metallic finish are frequently used to create a wall art gallery; while the brightest are usually reserved to decorate auxiliary and comfortable tables.
- In color. Made of fibreboard or plastic materials, Ikea photo frames mainly adopt two colors, black and white. You will find them in a wide variety of sizes in both single and multiple versions, the latter can hold up to 8 photographs. The thickness of the frame will have a significant influence on the final result. The thin frames will give a modern touch to the wall while the medium ones will provide a more traditional touch.
How to arrange the photo frames?
Are you clear in which room you want to place your photographs? The next step to be able to choose the most appropriate support will be to determine in which specific place and in what way we are going to arrange them. Hanging on the wall as a gallery? Leaning on a series of shelves?
On a table or dresser
Individually or in small groups, photo frames have always decorated the surfaces of dressers, consoles and side tables in our homes. If you are going to use them in this way, make sure they have a leg or a wall on which to support them.
On the wall
Another of the most classic ways of displaying photography in our home by creating small galleries on the wall. Do you have an empty wall that you don't know how to decorate? A gallery may be what you need to fill it with life. Although it is not necessary to have a whole empty wall for it; we can create a gallery on the sofa or a dresser.
We have two ways to create a gallery with Ikea photo frames on the wall. We can do it symmetrically using the same frame to place all the photographs, or asymmetrically betting on frames of the same style but of different sizes to achieve a more informal composition.
On shelves
If you don't want to pierce the wall, you can place the photo frames on some shelves, leaning against the wall. This alternative, in addition to being very aesthetically attractive, will allow you gain storage space in the room. You can place other elements next to the photographs: clocks, plants and a book.
Our advice is that you paint the shelves of the same color that the wall and that you look for some photo frames that in addition to keeping a certain aesthetic coherence between them, contrast with the wall. This way you will be able to draw attention to what is really important: your photographs, your memories, your source of inspiration.
Hanging from a rope
Are you looking for a more original way to present your photographs or illustrations? Hanging photo frames from a rope fixed, in turn, to the wall is one way to achieve this. In Decoora we love the idea of overlap frames slightly and use some thumbtacks to hold them. The set will look especially good in a small corner in a rustic or vintage style.
But it is not the only way to do it as you can see in the photograph. You can also hang the frames as if they were a painting, using some cords and some sockets. Frames with a gold finish are especially attractive for this type of composition, but you can dare with others.
There are many ways to decorate our home with photos and Ikea photo frames become a great ally to achieve this. Available in different sizes and with different finishes, they are also very cheap, between € 3 and € 9 mostly.
