Why Custom Frame

Custom framing can be a daunting and intimidating process, but it doesn’t have to be. Here we will lay out the reasons to custom frame and the steps you will take to achieve the ideal framing for your pieces.

Achieve a Finished Look:  Oftentimes you will receive a gift or purchase a piece of art that isn’t quite finished. There is no wire or glass, you have loose paper, unstretched canvas, or a piece that was rolled and crinkled in transit. Custom framing can finish these subtle touches and make your work displayable.  Mounting and removing rolls or crinks will make a poster more enjoyable to the viewer. A tile on the wall has a free and natural look, but a shadowboxed tile with fabric matting, a complimentary frame, and under glass can look like a museum artifact on display. Explore various options with us to achieve a finished look.

Add Dimension:  Occasionally a collector or client will find the perfect piece for a space … if it was only a little bigger… Custom framing is a clever and creative way to add dimension to your cherished items, creating a larger visual footprint on the wall. Increasing the size can be accomplished through matting, liners, frames, double frames, or a combination of these options.

Add Your Own Personal Touch: Break free from the cookie cutter, spoon fed and unoriginal – be creative and unique while designing signature framed pieces exclusive to your collection. Your concepts can become a reality through custom framing.

Selection: Custom framing allows for a much larger and tailored selection to present your precious items. Commercially produced art and frames are limited in style, finish, size, and overall selection; they are also mass produced, making them common and uninteresting. A wide selection of custom frames allows you to better match your art, your décor, and your personal style.

Advice from a Professional:  You know what you like, and you collect what you love. But sometimes you are too close to be objective. Lean on our professional custom frame designers to advise and help direct you towards the perfect presentation. We will listen to your parameters and work with you, finding your aesthetic to showcase pieces and realize your vision.

Fit your Décor: One size does not fit all. You have your style and décor but pieces you discover and fall in love with aren’t always framed in a way that agrees with your sensibility. Through custom framing you can transition pieces into your curated spaces, reflecting your existing trends. It’s the designer look!

Odd Sizes:  You love what you love and that doesn’t always fit into a standard size. Panoramic, extremely vertical, odd proportions, and odd shapes – sometimes there is no other option to display your piece properly – custom framing is the answer.

Odd Spaces: Our homes and commercial spaces can create unique challenges with odd shaped walls, corridors, panels and transoms. Oftentimes these spaces are so prominent they are calling for a visual anchor. Custom framing affords you the ability to tailor a piece to fit your space while reflecting your personal style.

Protect and Preserve your Art: Family artifacts, precious heirlooms, historical documents, one-of-a-kind objects, fine art pieces, fragile or brittle significant paper pieces, and many more irreplaceable items call for preservation or Museum framing. Not only does the proper framing techniques and materials persevere your beloved pieces but they actually help to retard inherent acidity in your pieces to help stabilize and slow further degradation. Protect your pieces for future generations.
