As it says... Frames, where do you guys get yours?

I'm finding it hard to find nice frames that don't cost the earth. For two reasons, I am thinking of selling some prints soon, I'm just starting out so I don't want to charge the earth so don't want to have a huge outlay before I even begin. And also I wouldn't mind a few for myself and don't want to pay stacks.

Any advice?
 
Ikea. I'm buying large ones from there soon for myself and a mate for an exhibition in Nov where we will also be selling prints (A3 size).

Cheap but decent quality for display!

Wish I had an Ikea where I am, they don't do delivery to my island :(

Bespoke for personal ones. Last one came to £157....or something.

Flip me! That's no cheap haha! however your shots probably deserve that kind of money spent on them, my prints I'm thinking of getting £15 for an a4/12x8 and £20-£25 for an a3/18x12 and frame price on top...

Or is this pricing not realistic? I just don't have a clue tbh.

Mine is a one off, picked the exact wood I want, colour, grain, how deep and thick of the the mount, its colours, texture, type of glass, coating on glass etc. The whole thing is hand made and sealed. I signed on the mount too. A Raymond Lin original :p

As for your budget, it is certainly possible, Habitat sells frames, simple and nice.
