Ikea Frame Hack | Getting a Hotel Vibe In Our Bedroom

Bedroom Art Ikea Hack

One of the best ways I found to add new life to our bedroom was with some digital art and my Ikea custom mounts.  Whilst I’d love to be able to hang some real art in my home, right now after recently finishing the renovation my budget just won’t stretch to it.  So for now I’ve put my own spin on things, all designed to give my bedroom more of a cohesive look and a little hotel vibe.

I saw a great idea recently where someone had taken an IKEA frame, removed the standard mount that came with it and replaced it with a custom mount, simple but really effective.  I purchased two of the Ikea frames as I felt a set of two large frames side by side would have more impact above my chest of drawers than just one.

If you’d like to do the same the details are below, I’ve also suggested some options for digital downloads but there are lots more online.

Here’s what you need:

  1. IKEA Ribba Frame – size: 61 x 91 cm (I bought two in black – white is also available)
  2. Custom Mount from: Best 4 Frames,
  3. An image of your choice, I opted for this New York snow scene – it’s such a great photo and this urban LA wall art shot.
  4. You can find beautiful art as digital downloads that you get printed yourself, take a look at BFF Print Shop for art downloads or Drawn Together. Etsy also have some beautiful digital download art, try the Monochrome Design Co, West Woven (for more vintage / traditional landscapes), Studio Inception (for travel wall art) and I also saw some great monochrome landscape prints in Rose Filtered.  I ended up purchasing three black and white prints from the fab Aussie Etsy shop The Middle Village.
  5. I chose to get my images 34×26.5cm.  I used Loxley Colour, professional photography printers for the image printing and selected the lustre paper.

Frames are now hung directly above the chest of drawers in our bedroom, accessorised with some frames from Cox & Cox.

If you don’t want to select custom mounts for your Ikea frames, did you know that the Ikea website does state the standard image size that you need?   Simply click on the frame description on the applicable web page and open he product description.  This will state what size images fit either with or without a mount.

Happy Framing!

Stop scratching your head when someone asks you wh Stop scratching your head when someone asks you what you want for your birthday.  All this year I've kept a note on my phone of lovely things when I've seen them shared on instagram or read about them in a magazine, so up on my blog today are a whole heap of ideas that'll help if you've got a birthday coming up or if you've got to buy for someone like you (and me). Full of mainly independent retailers to help us shop a bit smaller, this gift list is packed full of lovely treats to act as inspiration if you need it.  No affiliate links, all just ideas.

I hope its helpful?  Have a lovely week (yes it is Tuesday not Monday but it feels like Monday!). (Link in bio).

Neptune Home has to be my favourite interiors sho Neptune  Home has to be my favourite interiors shop for it's real simplistic country feel, you'll no doubt recognise the heavy pot on my coffee table as the Neptune Hanley.  It's got a lovely rough finish and is a real chunky fella.  Second behind Neptune has to be H & M home, it's a good job there isn't one in Bristol as I'd be in there alot.  They makes the current interior trends so accessible⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I want my home to have a clean, neutral yet stylish and cosy feel.  I'm pretty happy with this downstairs but am going back to the drawing board with our bedroom.  It's not how I want it and so that and our fourth bedroom are on my project list.  My inspiration are the Soho House bedrooms.  You know roll top bath and gorgeous decor.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Wishing you all a lovely long weekend when you get there..... This sunshine is just such a joy isn't it, of course I didn't see it coming and ended up wearing this jumper and roasting all day!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The space under the stairs..... my Made.com yellow The space under the stairs..... my Made.com yellow chair finally came downstairs from the bedroom upstairs to his new home.  We've had a busy weekend but today got to kick back with some family in the garden, roast dinner and sunshine and it felt great.  Kids have squabbled like Tom & Jerry today (and every day of the holidays) but I tell myself that is standard sibling behaviour.  Is it bonkers that I often think about their wedding days and imagine them fondly talking about each other in their respective wedding speeches, laughing at what sods they were to each other as kids..... only time will tell eh?  Do you remember if you argued loads with your bro/sis? Mine are alot older than me so I didn't have anyone to argue with but am sure I'd annoyed them when they were around....... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
