Where can I buy photo frames in Ireland?

What are the main retailers for photo frames in Ireland?

• Dunnes Stores — a dedicated picture frames category online, covering living room decor, console tables, and gallery walls. Prices are competitive with seasonal discounts.
• JYSK Ireland — frames from A6 (10×15 cm) up to 50×70 cm, in black, white, and natural wood finishes. Known for Scandinavian design at affordable prices (JYSK Ireland frames page).
• Woodie’s — a dedicated Picture Frames category with Oak Contemporary Frames in 11×14, 12×16, and 20×24 inches (Woodie’s picture frames).
• Penneys (Primark) — budget frames typically under €10, though exact size ranges are not published.
• BGA Store — online specialist with over 10,000 frames in stock, focusing on large sizes (A2, A3, 70×100 cm).
• The Gift Shop — 100% Irish owned, personalised photo frames from €23.99 with custom engraving.
• Carraig Donn — stylish frames for console tables and gallery walls, including 5×7 and standard sizes, with gift-wrapping.

Do these retailers have physical stores as well as online shops?

Most major Irish retailers offer both. Dunnes Stores, JYSK, Woodie’s, Penneys, and Carraig Donn have physical locations nationwide plus online ordering. BGA Store operates online-only with nationwide delivery. The Gift Shop also sells primarily online. For shoppers who want to see a frame in person before buying, the omnichannel retailers provide the most flexibility. The trade-off: online specialists like BGA Store often carry deeper stock in large and unusual sizes.

What photo frames are available at Dunnes Stores?

What sizes and materials does Dunnes offer?

Dunnes Stores carries a dedicated picture frames category on its website, with options for living room decor, console tables, and gallery walls. Their range includes various sizes — from small tabletop frames to larger wall-mounted designs — in materials like wood, metal, and plastic. Seasonal discounts are common, making them a competitive choice for mid-range buyers. A specialist Irish framing guide notes that standard photo sizes in Ireland commonly include 4×6, 5×7, 8×10, and A4 (Elaine Watters Art guide to frame sizes).

Are Dunnes photo frames suitable for gallery walls?

Yes — Dunnes stocks frames designed for gallery-wall layouts, including multi-picture arrangements and matching sets. Their online category shows frames that work well in grouped displays. The implication: if you’re building a gallery wall on a budget, Dunnes is a solid starting point, especially during their seasonal sales.

What photo frames does JYSK Ireland offer?

Does JYSK have frames for small photos as well as large posters?

• A6 (10×15 cm) — smallest standard size, for wallet prints (JYSK Ireland size listing).
• A5 (15×21 cm) — for half-page prints and small photos.
• A4 (21×30 cm) — the most common document and photo size.
• A3 (30×40 cm) — for larger prints and presentations.
• 50×70 cm — suited to posters or art reproductions (JYSK Ireland).
• 60×90 cm — TORD model in light wood, a wood-veneer frame with a lightweight plastic front (JYSK TORD product page).

What finishes are available (black, white, natural wood)?

JYSK Ireland’s frame range is available in black, white, and natural wood finishes, consistent with their Scandinavian design ethos. The OSCAR 30×40 cm white frame is a concrete example of their minimalist offering. A third-party guide also notes finishes in wood, metal, and plastic (briefingroom.uk buying guide). The pattern is clear: JYSK covers the full size spectrum from A6 to poster, making it a one-stop shop for most frame needs.

Where can I find photo frames that hold multiple pictures?

What are the common multi-picture frame designs?

• Collage layouts — a single frame with multiple openings, typically 2 to 6 photos.
• Split designs — a single image divided across several frames for a panoramic effect.
• Modular systems — individual frames that connect or mount together for custom arrangements.

Which retailers in Ireland stock collage frames?

Dunnes Stores, JYSK, and The Gift Shop often carry multi-opening frames. Online specialist BGA Store offers a wide selection of multi-picture frames, though their stock is only viewable online. Woodie’s may carry some options, but this is not explicitly confirmed on their category pages. For shoppers who want a single frame holding multiple prints, JYSK’s A3 and A4 multi-opening designs are a reliable choice.

Are there personalised photo frames in Ireland?

Where can I customise a photo frame with a name or message?

The Gift Shop (thegiftshop.ie) is the specialist in this space — a 100% Irish-owned retailer with over 17 years of experience. They offer custom engraving, text, and design choices on photo frames starting at €23.99. Other retailers like Dunnes and Carraig Donn may offer limited personalisation, but The Gift Shop is the clear specialist.

What is the typical cost of a personalised frame?

At The Gift Shop, personalised frames start at €23.99, with the price rising depending on size and engraving complexity. For comparison, a standard non-personalised frame from JYSK or Dunnes costs between €5 and €20. The trade-off: personalisation adds €10–€20 to the base price, but the result is a one-of-a-kind gift or keepsake.

Five retailers, one pattern: each fills a different niche. Dunnes and JYSK cover the mid-range everyday buyer. Woodie’s leans toward larger wall formats. Penneys is the budget option. BGA Store and The Gift Shop serve the specialist and personalisation markets respectively. The choice depends on what you value most — price, size range, or customisation.

Seven frames sizes, one baseline: A4 (21×29.7 cm) is the most common format in Ireland, followed by 5×7 inches and A3 (29.7×42 cm) (Elaine Watters Art). JYSK’s A6 (10×15 cm) is the smallest widely available size — ideal for wallet prints.

“Over 10,000 frames in stock” — a claim that positions BGA Store as the largest online specialist for photo frames in Ireland.

“A4 is the most common document and photo size in Ireland, while 4×6 inches is the most popular print size.”

“JYSK’s TORD 60×90 cm frame is a wood-veneer picture frame with a lightweight plastic front, suited for large posters.”

For the Irish shopper, the choice is clear: if you need a standard 4×6 or 5×7 frame, any of the major retailers will serve you well. If you’re after a large format for a poster or a personalised gift, the specialists — BGA Store and The Gift Shop — offer depth that the mass retailers can’t match. The risk of buying the wrong size drops sharply once you measure your print first and match it to the inner dimensions of the frame, not the outer edge.
