14 Cheap Picture Frames That Look Expensive

The most budget-conscious and reliable frames you'll find anywhere are from the Mainstays line at Walmart. They're the perfect option if you're on the hunt for a simple pick that comes in a large set (this one includes six frames) for under $20. Walmart also has sets in the same style with floating or leaning frames with and without mats.

Available in seven finishes, this set of 10 affordable frames is ideal for a gallery wall because they're lightweight but sturdy. (Creating a gallery wall with heavy frames is difficult because they're more likely to fall and harder to hang). The frames are designed to fit 5x7 photos, but if you want to swap them out for 8x10s, just remove the included mat.

This cute little set of three square frames would be perfect for a sweet photo you'll never get sick of seeing. Because it's on the smaller side (it holds a 4x4 photo), consider placing it on a proportional surface, like an end table or a floating desk. Did we mention it comes in a set of three?

We love a polished brass finish on pretty much everything—especially a set of picture frames. There's something glamorous about the gently glossed tone and large matted edges. Though you can create a gallery wall on any wall with enough room, we recommend hanging this set by the front door because there's a useful, space-saving tray along the bottom edge of the largest frame.

The natural branch motif of this beautiful frame makes it ideal for shots from your last family trip or outdoor adventure. It's available in gold or silver.

We are admittedly obsessed with this set of multi-mat gallery frames because the sizes are so drastic and varied, which creates a bigger sense of visual interest. Each frame comes with tempered glass and two removable, acid-free paper mats, so feel free to hang them anywhere because these are highly durable. Each frame is sold individually, so add as many or as few to your cart as you'd like.

Beware: These elegant Anthropologie frames are not sold as a set; there are two sizes, 5x7 and 8x10, sold separately. Both are made of marbled navy resin, engineered hardwood, and brass, which adds a glamorous touch to the otherwise moody design. Plus, they're hand-made so each one is slightly different.

Buy these sleek, minimalist West Elm frames individually or as a set of three, four, six, nine, or 12 to create the gallery wall of your dreams. Here's the the thing: They come in two sizes, both of which are pretty big (12x12 and 16x20), so if you want to snag these for your space but don't want such massive photos on display, use the included archival-standard mats.

This clean, light set of two natural wood frames is easily one of our favorites because it's so versatile. One word of advice: You may notice that the glass looks extremely blurry. It's not! That's just a protective film meant to keep your frame scratch-free while it's en route to you. Just peel it off and enjoy your photos.

This ingenious frame uses magnets to frame your poster or print, and it comes with a hanger too. You can use it to frame any piece six to 49 inches wide for a reasonable price.

If you're going to use this set of four 5x7 frames as part of a gallery wall, you may want to work on a small area of wall space. On a large swath of wall, these smaller frames may look a bit awkward. If black isn't your thing, it comes in seven finishes.

This set of nine (yes, nine) frames is normally on the more expensive side, but since it's part of Wayfair's epic closeout sale, it's just $70. The best part about this particular set—aside from the unbeatable price–is that you get a variety of sizes rather than nine of the same, which could look a little monotonous. Don't wait, though! This set is selling out fast.

Rustic in all the right ways, this set of four frames totally eliminates the need for a mat because it's basically built-in. It comes in four colors (which are also slightly different styles), so be sure to check out all of the options before you add them to your cart.

Technically, this is one unit, but it can fit two 4x6 photos so we're calling it a set. If this rugged wood finish isn't your style, opt for either white or black. Once you slide in the photos, just open the hinge and enjoy. Did we mention it's the lowest price it's been in more than a month? Get it on the cheap while you can!
