Gallery walls: 7 frame options you can buy online

A simple and elegant way to bring style and personality into any room, gallery walls can really make a statement about your home. Whether you’re framing an artwork, a photo, your child’s scribbles, a quote or even a memento from a trip overseas, here are a few frame options to consider for your next curatorial adventure! Top tip: A white mat(board) makes everything look instantly more gallery-like!

LOMVIKEN series – IKEA

Create a classy aesthetic with the very affordable LOMVIKEN series from IKEA. Simple, slim and lightweight aluminium, this understated design will elegantly frame your art pieces without stealing the show. From $8.99 for 21x30cm. Also comes in white or silver.

Gallery frames polished brass – west elm

The more expensive (and solid brass!) option from west elm starts at $54 for 14x19cm but these frames also have glass rather than plastic to protect whatever’s inside. They come in a wider range of sizes that will make curating at home all the more exciting and they certainly look expensive!

Gallery Perfect 12 piece black frame set – Amazon

For those who want to take the stress out of creating a gallery wall, or those who prefer symmetry and everything just so, this set from Amazon ($173.46) will make life a lot easier. It even comes with a hanging template (with multiple options), removable mats and two sets of art prints you could use on their own, interspersed with your photos or not at all! Free international delivery from the US for Prime members.

8 pack gallery frames – Target

Classic and clean, this $29 pack of eight white gallery frames from Target (click and collect only) is an easy steal that would suit a variety of works.

Cooper & Co series – Spotlight

Available in three colours, the new range of floating frames from Cooper & Co at Spotlight comes in a variety of sizes as well. This 10 x 15cm frame in white is currently on sale for $10.80!

Pax frame cluster series – Freedom

Freedom’s Pax Cluster series comes as an already assembled framework that is perfect for those who really want an easy life! Available in different colours and sizes, the whole Pax cluster series is currently on sale – with this particular frame cluster in white at $35.

American oak effect – French Knot

This simple, blonde oak-look MDF frame from French Knot comes in a standard A3 size as well as a square 50x50cm. The A3 can be bought singularly ($12.99), in a set of three ($49.99) or in a set of 12 ($129.99). The front is perspex rather than glass which makes it a safer option for kids rooms.

Isn’t it time you got all that artwork framed?

Decorate your home without the need of a hammer or drill and without damaging your walls with 3M Command Picture Hanging Strips, which hold up to 7kg. Visit go.3m.com/loveyourwalls/ for decorating inspiration and the chance to win some great prizes.

 

There are certain jobs we all struggle to get around to: sorting out the spare bedroom, organising the laundry cupboard and, in my case, getting artwork framed.

I finally framed this precious Megan Hess illustration of me as a bride to be

The cluster of cardboard tubes in the corner of my home office has been getting out of hand lately. And it struck me that it’s all kinds of wrong to purchase beautiful things for your walls and then leave them rolled up where you, and nobody else, can enjoy them. So I got tough with myself and promised myself I would get at least 3 things framed this month. This has at least made a dent in the collection (I swear those cardboard tubes are breeding!)

Love your walls with 3M Command Picture Hanging Strips

Sponsored by Nuffnang

We’re currently long-term housesitting for my in-laws and I wanted to add a little personality to our temporary home. It’s no secret I believe being surrounded by things you love goes a long way to making you smile each day!

It’s also no secret that I believe in making an effort with your surroundings, whether you rent or own and however long you intend living somewhere. Which is why I have always been a big fan of 3M Command hooks. Not being able to bang holes in walls has never held me back from decorating (just don’t buy the cheap imposter hooks unless you want to be woken in the night with a heart attack when your frames hit the floor) And I’ve always removed them at the end of a tenancy with no marks, flaked paint or dramas. Phew!

Recyled timber picture frames with heart

It’s a pretty simple thing,” says Ryan Melder, “we make products from materials that are destined for landfill – anyone can do it, it’s just about having the motivation make it possible.” This is the humble nature of the Melder family and, in fact, the whole story around their recycled furniture and homewares business, Mulbury.

After years in the building industry, Gerry Melder became disillusioned by it – he’d been let down by too many contractors and had seen far too much beautiful timber go to landfill. Having always considered the environment, Gerry saw a way to make a positive out of this negative situation; turning to what he knew – “woodwork, design and construction” – he took the material destined for the dumpster and made it the source of his next venture. Thus, “Mulbury was born.”
