Have you noticed the trend toward natural wood wall frames lately? Especially as part of a gallery wall?
The lighter, the better. The slimmer the frame, the better.
I think it has something to do with the ease of the IKEA Hovsta 16×20 frame. It’s a large size, super affordable, and it gives your home an instant Scandinavian hygge feeling.
TIP: This Scandi style frame fits right in with a plethora of design aesthetics, including modern coastal, boho, minimalist and modern farmhouse. Not sure what your style is? Check out the style guides to see what resonates with you.
And while hygge was all the rage a few years ago, it never really goes away. Especially not now that we are inside our homes 24/7 and our nerves could use a little comfort and cozy.
Actually, comfort is No. 2, only behind finding a good place to hide your peanut butter cups from the kids so you maintain your (already fragile) sanity.
So you’re at home, looking to inexpensively cozy up your wall game with some thin wood frames. I’ve got you covered.
9 Natural Wood Wall Frames
Here are 9 affordable modern natural wood wall frames that won’t break your budget.
Hovsta Frame from IKEA
Let’s start with the mother of them all, the Hovsta. Only $12.99 for a 16×20 frame is an amazing steal. As you can imagine, smaller sizes cost even less. You can use the matting that comes with the frames, or you could go extra bold like the example in #4 of my family photo gallery wall post.
Natural Wood Frames from Urban Outfitters
What’s great about these frames is the consistent look of them at all sizes. And I do mean all sizes (there are 8, all the way up to 30×30!).
Matte Gallery Instant Frame from Urban Outfitters
This frame is a gallery in and of itself. If you have an Instax Mini, your images will fit perfectly in the matting. But even if you do not, it would be easy enough to crop your digital photos to fit the dimensions and print them out on photo paper.
Set of 4 Frames from Amazon
Leave it to Amazon sellers to give you an instantaneous gallery wall. Four frames included, each able to hold an 11×14 piece of art (or 8×10 if you use the matting). All for less than $50!
Set of 2 Frames from Amazon
This Amazon duo is sure to pack a punch in a small space, and all for less than $30.
Set of 3 Frames from West Elm
West Elm has some seriously pretty frames. They are a little more expensive than others on this list, but still very affordable relatively. This triptych comes in four sizes; make sure to choose the “wheat” frame option.
Oversized Gallery Frame from West Elm
This is the spendiest frame I’m recommending, and I’m only doing so because it is a HUGE frame which (a) is rare to find online and (b) is usually way more pricy than what I’m seeing here. This frame starts at 20×30 (light speed) and goes all the way to 30×40 (ludicrous speed).
Oak Frame from Finnish Design Shop
I haven’t ordered from Finnish Design Shop yet — the key word is yet. It has some great stuff, and this frame is one of them. The price is right, the thin width of the frame is right. If you’re using a printable from my shop, you can use the 18×24 dimension to fit this frame (size down accordingly!).
Oak Open Back Frame from Finnish Design Shop
This open-back frame is beautiful and affordable, so I had to include it! If you’re using printables from my shop, you’d use the International JPG for a suitable fit.
