Frames Are Your Ally 🖼️

A budget life saver to level up your photos: picture frames! They give an instant high-quality luxury effect to your simple prints while a the same time protecting your piggy bank. Is there anything better than something cheap that looks expensive? Absolutely not! Two reasons why frames are so budget friendly:

  1. You probably already have some gathering dust with old pictures at home so all you need is to get your new prints for an effortless major update!
  2. If you don’t have any frames at home, you can find super cheap but hella good looking ones at the dollar stores, garage sales, or IKEA if you want to invest a little!

In short, picture frames and photos are THE winning combo for the perfect quality-looking super trendy addition to your home decor.

Posters Are Your Savior 🦸🏻

Okay hear us out. Posters are a liiitle bit more expensive than simple prints, we agree. Slightly less accessible and affordable, we know. BUT you don’t need many posters to make a bold statement on your walls, only one will do the job! With their larger size, they immediately become a centerpiece. They might seem more expensive at first sight but the massive role they’ll play in your decor makes it more than worth it! Bonus point if you already have a big frame hanging around at home. The key takeaway here is to make the most of what you already have - recycling is an absolute slay! 💁🏻‍♀️
