Looking for the perfect photo frame? Discover the best physical stores (Action, IKEA, Leroy Merlin, HEMA, Centrakor) and online shops (TousLesCadres.fr, myposter, bgastore.fr) to buy a cheap, designer, or custom photo frame.

Key Takeaways

Action offers the cheapest frames (from €1), but a limited range.
IKEA provides designer frames at affordable prices, with standard sizes.
Leroy Merlin and Centrakor have custom and original frames.
Online sites (TousLesCadres.fr, myposter) allow personalisation and a wide choice.

Photo Frame at Action: The Cheapest

Action is the ideal store for a cheap photo frame. Prices start at €1 for 10x15 cm sizes. The range is simple but functional, with wood, metal or plastic frames. Note: sizes are limited (mainly 10x15, 13x18, 20x30 cm). No personalisation or mount.

Photo Frame at IKEA: Designer and Modular

IKEA photo frames are a must-have. The FISKBO series (black metal, from €3) and KNOPPA (wood, from €5) are bestsellers. IKEA also offers collage frames (grids) and digital frames. Advantage: standard sizes (A4, A3, 50x70) and the option to buy mounts separately. Frames are easy to open to change the photo.

Photo Frame at Leroy Merlin: Custom and Original

Leroy Merlin is not just for DIY. You'll find original photo frames (mirror frames, multi-opening frames) and especially a custom cutting service for unusual sizes. Prices are mid-range (€5-30). Ideal if you have a non-standard photo size.

Photo Frame at HEMA: Trendy and Affordable

HEMA photo frames focus on Scandinavian style at low prices. Frames are often colourful (pastel, gold) and original (round shapes, hearts). Perfect for modern decor. Prices range from €3-10. Note: sizes are rather small (max 30x40 cm).

Centrakor Photo Frame: Decorative and Cheap

Centrakor photo frames are a great place for decorative frames at low prices (from €2). The selection changes regularly with the seasons. You'll find collage frames, mirror frames, and frame sets. Ideal for varied decor without breaking the bank.

Online Shops: Infinite Choice

For a custom photo frame or a designer photo frame, online sites are unbeatable. TousLesCadres.fr offers over 10,000 models with mounts at discount prices. myposter prints your photo directly onto the frame (mounted prints). bgastore.fr is the specialist for custom frames (mouldings, colours, finishes). Finally, marketplaces like Amazon or Cdiscount offer a wide choice but beware of third-party sellers.

How to Choose Your Photo Frame?

Determine the Size

Measure your photo: standard sizes (10x15, 13x18, 20x30, A4) are most common. For rare sizes, opt for custom.

Choose the Material

Wood: warm, classic. Metal: modern, slim. Plastic: affordable, lightweight.

Consider the Mount

The mount enhances the photo and allows a standard frame to fit a smaller photo. Some sites offer it as an option.

Mistakes to Avoid

Not checking the internal dimensions of the frame (some frames advertise a misleading external size).
Forgetting the orientation (portrait/landscape): some models are fixed.
Buying a frame without glass: glass protects the photo from dust and scratches.

Conclusion

Whether you're looking for a cheap photo frame at Action or a designer custom photo frame, options are plentiful. For a quick purchase, IKEA or HEMA are reliable. For a unique decor project, turn to specialised online shops. Discover our selection of original photo frames in our store.
