The Best IKEA Frames for Your GinColorist Art Prints
You’ve just received your GinColorist print. You carefully slide it out of the envelope, feel the texture of the high-quality paper, and then the big question arises: How should I frame it so it looks perfect in the nursery?
We know that custom framing can be pricey. That’s why we’ve analyzed the IKEA catalog to find the exact models that best complement our watercolor style. Take note!
1. The RÖDALM model: Our Absolute Favorite
If you are looking for that natural, warm, and Scandinavian vibe, the RÖDALM frame is the winner. Its birch or light brown finish blends beautifully with the soft tones of our watercolors.
-
Why choose it: Its minimalist design ensures it doesn't steal the spotlight from the illustration.
-
Deco Tip: It’s the perfect match if you have light wood furniture in the room.
2. The classic EDSBRUK : Elegance and depth
The EDSBRUK is one of IKEA's most popular frames for a reason: its depth. Since it is a deep-set frame, it creates a "shadow box" effect that gives the artwork a premium feel.
-
Colors: White is ideal for bright, airy nurseries; black adds a modern, high-contrast touch.
-
Pro Tip: It includes a high-quality passepartout (the white mat board) that makes your print look like a professional gallery piece.
3. SILVERHÖJDEN : FFor a Modern, Sophisticated Touch
If you prefer something sleek and metallic, the SILVERHÖJDEN model in aluminum or soft gold is perfect. It is very lightweight and offers a very polished, professional finish.
💡 The Secret to a Professional Finish: The "Passepartout" (Matting)
Most IKEA frames come with a passepartout. My advice? Always use it.
If your print is A4 size, buy a 30x40 cm frame.
By placing the print behind the white mat board, you create a margin that protects the paper and allows the illustration to "breathe." The visual result is much more luxurious and curated.
What Size Should I Choose?
Our prints are available in standard sizes that fit IKEA frames perfectly:
-
21x30 cm (approx. 8x12"): The ideal small frame for nightstands or bookshelves.
-
30x40 cm (approx. 12x16"): The "star" size for hanging over the crib or changing table.
Conclusion: You don’t need a huge budget to have a magazine-worthy nursery wall. With a simple IKEA frame and one of our personalized watercolors, your little one’s room will be completely transformed.
