The Top Places To Shop For Frames
Once you have decided on your print, it's time to find the perfect frame to showcase it's beauty.
To help make this task easy, we have created a list of our favourite places to shop for frames for any and all budgets.
1. Thrift Stores/ Op Shops:
Op shops are our little secret to finding frames with a bit more character. If you want to give your vintage prints a vintage frame, this is the place to find them at a bargain price.
Op shops often have a bunch of empty frames as well as already framed artworks. If you see a frame you like that already has artwork inside, just take the art out and replace it with your print.
The two frames pictured here are both op shop finds and cost $4 each!
Two extra tips when op shopping for frames:
1. Take a tape measure with you so you can measure the frame. These are old frames so there won't be labels to let you know the sizing. You don't want to take the frame home and realise it doesn't fit your print!
2. Sometimes it's fun to find the frame first! That way, when you find the perfect frame, you can then select the Fine Art Print that will suit the frame the best, and order the print in the correct size for the frame.
2. Bed Bath & Beyond
Bed Bath & Beyond often have a great range of frames (as pictured below). Here are some links to our favourites:
- Solace Mya Metal Frame 4x6: Gold, Brass, or Black
- Design Republique Merit Frame: 16x8, 20x16, 8x10 (or 11x14 without mat)
