Custom Picture Framing - Your Seacoast Area Source

According to the Picture Framing Trade Association only 1 in 7 people have ever purchased custom picture framing! Given that my wife and I own a custom frame shop and we frame everything we get our hands on, this statistic baffles us.

People spend hours choosing paint and wallpaper, carpets, window treatments, and furniture to fill a home, but when it comes to the wall décor it is often left to chance. The walls may be blank or covered with framed art “off the rack”. And while there is no right or wrong as to how you decorate your walls the statistics show that many people haven't even considered the option of custom framing.  

Custom means getting what YOU want or need.   In a nutshell professional custom picture framing lets you choose exactly what you want to create, unique, one of a kind “furniture for your walls”. Framed mirrors for every room in the house; family mementos and photos framed to fit your spaces; and just about anything you can think of from postcards to fine art with designs to fit your color schemes and moods and your pocket book. You can get the design you want from thousands of choices. In fact the choices may seem endless; colors, textures, tones, styles. Whether you seek period authenticity, eclectic flair or anything in between, there is a line of frame mouldings to suit your style.

Don't let the incredible selection scare you off, as professional picture framers we will be there to guide you through the design to help to create the best one of a kind look for your art and your style. And, no more guessing if the color in the catalog or on the computer screen will be right for your room because you get to see your choices up close and personal. Often our customers borrow samples to take home and test out for size and color coordination so there are no surprises.

Your home décor doesn't have to be limited to what you can find pre-framed. Custom framing completes the picture for your home.  Try it, you'll love it!
