Framing 101: What to expect at your local frame shop
We're observant people! It's true, customers (that's you) come in and it's up to us to help you bring out the best in each individual piece of art to fit each individual taste.
Along the way, we noticed at times framing can be intimidating for some, even overwhelming (sooo many options and prices!), we think it's time to demystify the process! Feel free to share this article with friends and family who might not be in the know!
Step 1: Check out the Art
This is the obvious one, before we get started with Step 2, we assess what will make a piece stand out!
Step 2: Q&A
We tend to ask a lot of questions, such as:
- Do you know where you're going to hang you piece? (This allows us to determine scale and proportion.)
- Will it hang in a room with lots of windows? (This determines your glass options.)
- What color are your walls, your furniture?
- What are your wood tones in the room? (9 out of 10 times, we'll try not to match it!)
- And finally, the most important one: "Do you have any idea what you would like to have done with it?"
At the end, we go from having an overwhelming amount of over a thousand option, to a manageable amount of two to three options
Step 3: Mission Complete!
The final step is all about bringing your art alive by picking the option that you love and will enhance your piece, not distract from it!

All that's left to do is hang up and enjoy! |
