A while back I shared my 5 favorite sources for affordable black wall frames, based on the question that lands most often in my inbox: “Where can I find budget frames? They’re so expensive!”
I hear you, boy do I hear you.
Framing your art can be a major pain in the pocketbook, which is why I try to stay as diligent as possible by scouring thrift stores and garage sales for good deals. However, there are times when being patient isn’t going to work out.
Like, say, you want to create a cohesive gallery wall with identical gold frames. (True story, raising my hand.)
I got you. Here are 5 affordable modern gold wall frames that won’t break your budget.
Silverhojden Gold Frame from IKEA
I love Ikea for frames, I really do. I purchased three 16×20″ gold frames to hang over the headboard in my bedroom, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. (For reference, I framed three of my beach rounds prints to finish off my modern coastal bedroom decor.)
Metal Photo Picture Frame from Wayfair
What’s great about this frame is that it comes in five different sizes (8×10 up to 16×20, all under $20), so you could curate a diverse gallery wall with the same frame.
Brass Project 62 Frame from Target
Confession: I kind of love everything from the Project 62 line, and this frame is no exception. It’s got that classic, thin, brushed metal gold wall frame that looks very high end.
Brass Poster Frame at Walmart
Walmart is never my favorite place to recommend, but you can’t deny that $18 is a good price to frame a large 18×24-inch poster. It would work perfectly with any of the new posters from Society6.
Gallery Brass Wall Frames from CB2
These are the spendiest gold frames I’m recommending, but I couldn’t help it because hands down these frames will give you the most high-end gallery wall experience, and it’s still relatively inexpensive. These frames all accommodate standard-size pieces of art (5×7 up to 11×14) using the museum trick of oversized mats for maximum drama.
There you have it — 5 modern affordable gold wall frames. Don’t forget to bookmark or pin this page for reference. You never know when you’ll need to grab a good inexpensive frame quick!
