IKEA Hack Lomviken Frames | How To Make Affordable Gallery Frames

I love the large mat with photo centered. It's more dramatic and draws attention to the photos.😊

Hello Raymond, first I would like to mention how interesting I find your videos. I appreciate your attention to details, functionality and cost. And also the fact that you show all the installation processes. Now back to this specific video about framing, I have done similar assembly of ikea cheap frames. You can exchange the top plastic window with a tin 3 mm glass. If your budget allows it, go for non reflective glass, it is well worth it, especially with a dark background. About the matt, I find it unfortunate that it isn’t black on the edges… Personally, I am disturbed by the white line it creates around the pictures. It is possible to find matts that are the same colour thoroughly at a framing shop, but it might be a little more expensive… But final effect in your dining room is still very classy!

Good idea about upgrading the plastic window!

I think carefully Sharpie-ing the inside would give you a clean look and eliminate the white line pretty effectively without looking off.

I love the black mats !! Great idea 💡

[@Raymond.W]

It’s very easy, give it a try

[@angellas.1314]

Don’t forget to add little plastic bumpers to the back corner of the frames, it will keep it from moving.

You are a genius!❤

How do you take the black things off? Is it supposed to peal?

[@MunishSharmaMD]

Can you please share link to frame and laser leveler: may be make some affiliate $$ for this nice video. Thanks

[@Raymond.W]

Definitely if I can build up sustainable traffic through the channel, I will explore some affiliate links for the products I use. Link below to the frames I used, just pick your size and colour. My Bosch laser level is packed away at the moment so I don't have easy access to see which model it is. www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/lomviken-frame-aluminum-80314308/

Very nicely done 👏

I was pulling my hair not being able to keep the picture within the square, until I realized that pressure alone is not enough to keep it in place without falling and you are using tape...

Looks great!

[@Raymond.W]
