What is Custom Picturing Framing?

2/19/2019

Featured blog post by Carla Binder, Creative Framing by Carla

Custom picture framing is basically a package that to enhances, protects and displays your art or cherished mementos.  Although the definition makes it sound simple enough, there are many things that must be taken into consideration. Don’t be mistaken, there’s a big difference between just “putting something in a frame” and choosing a custom frame.


So what exactly makes custom picture framing so different?  Well, it’s the custom part that really makes the difference. A custom frame is specifically designed for you and the item being framed, it’s not a “one size fits all”.  We all have different styles and different reasons for having something displayed in a frame. Considering all of this is just one part of ensuring the custom framing is a success.
This is my personal approach.
What, Where and Why?
  • What? My first step in a custom framing project is to find out what this object or piece of art is.
  • Where? Have you given any thought to where you might like to display it. Depending on what you’re having framed I may ask you about your favorite colors. I may also ask about the style of your furniture and decor or if you’re adding this to a collection or using it as a focal point in one of your rooms.
  • Why? What does this item, photo or piece of art mean to you? Custom framing is very personal and your input in the design process is very important. How much you value the piece will impact the materials used to frame it.
Choosing the MaterialsMy second step in custom framing is the actual design of the framing package (all the framing materials for your item). Using the information from the first step, the ultimate goal is to find the best selections for the art or object while still allowing the finished framing to fit nicely in your home.
Visually, combining the colors, textures and styles of the various framing materials is the process of designing a frame that enhances your art.  Technically, the design involves knowing if the frame is sturdy enough to display your art or objects. Or knowing if the frame is deep enough or if the materials used are safe and will protect your items.
There are many different designs and combinations of materials that will work nicely for every framing project. Although it may seem overwhelming at times, I will guide you through the best solutions as you make your final decision on the framing materials.
Building Your FrameThe next step is the actual handcrafting of your custom framing.  The frame is chopped and joined, mats cut, your art or objects are mounted securely, the glass is cut and all are neatly fitted together. It’s ready for you to display in your home or office.
So, what is custom picture framing?  It begins with a love of art or a cherished memory.  You take it on a creative journey. At the end of the process your custom framing, specially handcrafted for you, is as unique as you and what you’ve had framed.   
Enjoy!

Creative Framing by Carla offers custom picture frame solutions for your art, photography and cherished items. Preserve your memories. Carla will walk you through the process step by step to design the custom framing package and delivery a quality product for you to display in your home or business. Let’s get started on your project, set up an appointment or stop by today.

Last week, my sister told me that she wants to have her wedding picture framed because it will help her preserve good memories when she looks at it. I think it's a great idea that she does this as long as the frame would look great with her photo. Thanks for telling me that she can combine the colors and style with her picture for the frame that she needs, so I might suggest to her to look for a specialized service since her picture is very large.

I liked it when you shared the first step in framing is choosing the right piece of art that you would want to put in it. My mother just mentioned the other day that she is planning to frame our picture from the vacation that we went on last month since she really loves how it turned out as everyone looks great in it. I will suggest to her looking for a reliable service that can offer to do it.

My mom has been thinking about getting some better picture frames for her art. She would really like to get them custom-made in order to be a lot safer. She would really like to get some help from a professional to make sure that it looks exactly the way she wants them to. I liked what you said about how it can be used as a focal point in the room with the right kind of style to match the furniture.

My daughter made me a beautiful painting, and I want to frame it and hang it up in my home. It's good to know that you can get custom picture framing for this kind of thing! That seems like a great way to make the painting look much more official.

I am glad the customer's input is important during custom framing. I kind of imagined they would just make it based on the design you gave them. But being more involved sounds more intriguing and personal.

Thanks for pointing out that there are various designs and combinations of materials that can be used for custom picture frames. I hope that I can find one that I would love since I plan to have a sketch made for my groom as a gift to him on our wedding day. It will be in a certain size that I specifically measured in our future home, so I hope that they can create that kind of size in a nice material as well.

<a href="https://www.mahoneysframing.com.au/picture-framing-melbourne/">PhotoFramingMelbourne</a> not only includes choosing from a wide selection of mat
types and colors to complement the artwork as well as the surroundings where the
piece will be displayed, but it also involves choosing the appropriate frame style and
design and determining the proper type of glazing - all things a professional framer
will consult and advise a client about.
By definition, a custom picture frame is one of a kind. A well-designed, well-
made custom frame will last for many more years than most of your home decor
including your couch and drapes. Custom frames are personalized furnishings
for your home.
Read on to learn more about having your artwork custom framed.

It was fascinating to know that
custom picture framing allows you to enhance and protect your art. My friend wants to safely display her paintings. I should advise her to look for a custom picture framing shop that can execute her desired look.
