Design Guide
How to Approach Your Custom Framing Project
The Design Process
A structured approach to finding your perfect frame.
Define the Project
Before selecting a frame, consider the essence of the piece. Is it a vintage photograph requiring archival protection, an oversized modern canvas, or a cherished family heirloom? The medium dictates the conservation approach.
Consider the Environment
Where will this piece live? Take note of the room's natural lighting, wall color, and existing furnishings. A frame should not only complement the artwork but also serve as a cohesive bridge to your interior design.
Discover Your Aesthetic
Explore our curated design styles below. Do you lean towards the ornate warmth of Golden Grandeur, the clean lines of Metropolitan Noir, or the organic textures of Global Origins? Determining your style grounds the design process.
