The Beauty of Bespoke Framing

The Beauty of Bespoke Framing (and When a Ready-Made Frame Is Just Right)

The way a picture is framed can completely transform how it looks and feels. The right frame doesn’t just complement your artwork — it protects it, enhances it, and turns it into something truly special. At The Frame, we offer both bespoke and ready-made options, so whether you’re framing a cherished family photo, a beautiful painting, or a favourite print, we’ll help you find the perfect fit.

The Art of Bespoke Framing

Bespoke framing is all about creating something unique – a frame designed specifically for your piece and your space. Every artwork has its own character, and a made-to-measure frame ensures that personality shines through.

At The Frame, our framers have over 50 years of combined experience, and their craftsmanship is second to none. Known in the industry as “the framers’ framers,” their expertise and attention to detail mean every piece is handled with the utmost care.

We only use the finest materials, including conservation-grade mount boards that are 100% acid-free, helping to protect your artwork for years to come. Our mounts are precision cut on our state-of-the-art Wizard 8500 cutter for a flawless finish, and we offer a choice of glazing options – from Standard to Art Glass – depending on the level of clarity and UV protection you prefer.

Bespoke framing is ideal for original artwork, textiles, memorabilia, and special pieces that deserve the highest level of care. From delicate watercolours and limited-edition prints to football shirts, medals and needlework, if it’s worth framing, it’s worth framing beautifully.

When Ready-Made Frames Are the Perfect Fit

While bespoke framing is a wonderful option for one-of-a-kind pieces, our ready-made frames offer quality, style, and value – perfect when you need something quickly or for a smaller project.

Produced locally in Basingstoke, our ready-made range includes over 150 different styles and colours, with 50 sizes to choose from. Prices start at just £15, so there’s something for every budget.

These frames are great for prints, photographs, or posters – and can easily be paired with a custom-cut mount to give your piece a polished, professional finish.

Choosing the Right Option for You

If you’re not sure whether bespoke or ready-made is right for you, don’t worry – that’s where we come in. Our team will talk you through the options, considering the artwork itself, your style preferences, where it will be displayed, and your budget.

Sometimes, a ready-made frame is the perfect quick solution. Other times, a bespoke frame is the only way to truly do justice to the piece. Either way, we’ll help you make a choice that looks beautiful and stands the test of time.
