The Range's £11 'sleek' photo frames shoppers say 'look similar' to £50 Next version Some shoppers have compared the two styles online People looking to add what shoppers are calling an 'expensive-looking' piece of Next decor to their homes could end up paying a fraction of the price by swapping for a similar-looking item at The Range. Shoppers are already claiming the £11 The Range version looks “stunning” - and saves homeowners just under £40. As of September 30, Next is selling a Premium Easel Photo Frame for £50. These frames, which include “oversized textured mounts,” come with golden metal finishes and stand on a brown marble base. Ellie Fenlon, better known online to her 86,400 TikTok followers as @Fenloninteriors_, posted a video on her page earlier this week comparing the Next frame with a more budget-friendly option. She shared a similar-looking option on offer in The Range for £10.99. In the clip, which has racked up almost 30,000 views, Ellie admitted that the “fabulous” mounted stand frames from Next had caught her eye online. But, she could not justify the price tag. Holding her alternative buy of the Standing Wide Mount Photo Frame from The Range, Ellie showed what she claims to be the “inspired-by” version, which has a linen mount instead of the plain backing offered by Next. For those prepared to put in a little bit of DIY effort, Ellie suggests using sticky-back vinyl to add a marble look to the plain metal base of the frame - currently available online in black or white. The Range describes the frame online: “Create a striking display with the Standing Wide Mount Photo Frame. This elegant piece brings a sophisticated touch to your mantelpiece or shelf. “The wide mount enhances your cherished photographs, while the sleek finish complements any decor. Enjoy versatile orientation options and sturdy construction, making it an ideal choice for showcasing memories in style. Perfect for those looking to buy a wide-mount picture frame for their home or office.” People who bought the Next version did claim the cost was worthwhile. In the reviews, one said: “The two easel frames are stunning! “I’ve been looking for frames for about a year and not seen anything I’ve liked until I spotted these. They are more expensive than a fame I wanted, but they are definitely worth it. Had lots of positive comments from family and friends!” Another wrote: “They look elegant and eye-catching in a quiet way. Just what I wanted.” A third put in their review: “Love this frame. Pictures are now not hidden or fighting for space they look great.” As of September 30, no shoppers have given an official review of the product on The Range’s website.
