What we frame

What we frame

If it matters to you, it is worth framing well. Here are the kinds of pieces we are most often asked about, and what we think about for each.

  • Artwork and fine art prints

    Originals and prints need a frame that respects the artist’s intent. We think about mat proportion, glazing and how to show the edges of the work properly.

  • Photographs

    From family portraits to landscapes. We consider how the colours and tones of the photograph sit against the mat, and how to protect the surface from light and handling.

  • Certificates and documents

    Degrees, awards and official papers are often framed for display and kept for decades. We focus on safe mounting and sensible protection against light.

  • Heirlooms and textiles

    Pieces passed down through a family can be fragile and personal. We take extra time to discuss condition, handling and the gentlest way to present them.

  • Memorabilia and keepsakes

    Tickets, medals, letters, shirts and other items with a story. These often need depth, so we design the frame around the objects rather than forcing them flat.

  • Posters and large prints

    Big pieces need strong construction and sensible hardware. We plan the frame so the finished piece is secure, balanced and ready to hang.

Find your frame style

Three directions to start from. We refine proportion, colour and depth to suit the work and the room.

Print in a slim, contemporary frame with a wide white mat

Classic

Rich mouldings and traditional proportions.

Artwork in a natural wood frame

Materials with character

Samples of frame mouldings in different wood tones

Wood tones

From pale, open grains to deep, rich stains, our carefully selected wood finishes bring out the natural beauty and character of every frame. Whether you prefer a light, contemporary look or a deeper, more traditional tone, each finish is chosen to complement your artwork, enhance its details, and blend beautifully with your space.

  • Light and natural
  • Mid-tone
  • Dark and rich
  • Warm Honey
  • Weathered Grey

Available materials and finishes are confirmed at your consultation.

From first idea to finished frame

Four steps, with you involved at every one.

  1. Consultation

    Bring your piece or send details. We talk through the artwork, the space and what you want from the frame.

  2. Design selection

    Compare mouldings, mats and glazing against your artwork and settle on the combination.

  3. Expert framing

    Your frame is cut, joined and assembled to the agreed design.

  4. Final review

    We check the finished piece with you before it goes home.

Experience

A personalised experience

No two pieces are alike, so no two frames should be either. We listen first, explain plainly and leave the decisions with you.

Bring

The piece itself if you can, or clear photographs and measurements if you cannot. Photographs of the wall where it will hang are also very helpful.

Discuss

We talk through style, colour, protection and how you plan to live with the piece. There is no pressure and no single right answer.

Decide

You choose, with all the information in front of you. We will tell you what we would suggest and why, and respect whichever direction you pick.

Questions we are likely to ask

  • Where will the piece hang, and what is the wall like?
  • Does the piece have a story or sentimental value we should know about?
  • How much natural light does the spot receive?
  • Do you prefer a classic, contemporary or natural look?
  • How much protection would you like to build in?
  • Is the piece part of a group or gallery wall?
