Transforming Prints into Wall Art

Turning your cherished prints into stunning wall art is an exciting journey. Let’s explore the process of bringing your artwork to life through custom framing.

What to Expect In-Store

When you visit our store with your print, you’re in for a personalised experience. Our friendly staff will guide you through the framing process, ensuring your artwork gets the treatment it deserves.

First, we’ll examine your print and discuss your vision for the finished piece. This conversation helps us understand your style preferences and the intended display location.

Next, we’ll introduce you to our wide range of frame options and matboard selections. You’ll have the opportunity to see and feel different materials, comparing how they complement your artwork.

Finally, we’ll provide expert advice on preservation techniques and display options, ensuring your framed artwork will stand the test of time.

Our Diverse Frame Options

At What Knots Printing and Framing, we pride ourselves on offering an extensive selection of frame options to suit every style and budget.

Our frame collection includes classic wood frames in various finishes, from rich mahogany to sleek black. For a more traditional look, we offer frames in classic profiles as well and in gold, silver, and copper tones to suit any space.

Each frame option is carefully curated to enhance different types of artwork, from delicate watercolours to bold graphic prints. Our experts can help you choose the perfect frame to complement your art and interior décor.

Matboard Selection Made Easy

Choosing the right matboard can dramatically enhance your artwork’s presentation. Our matboard selection process is designed to be both informative and enjoyable.

We offer a vast array of colours, textures, and styles in our matboard collection. From classic white and off-white shades to bold, vibrant hues, there’s a perfect match for every piece of art.

Our staff will guide you through the selection process, explaining how different matboard choices can affect the overall look of your framed artwork. We’ll demonstrate how a well-chosen matboard can draw out subtle colours in your print or create a striking contrast.

For those seeking extra elegance, we offer specialty matboards with unique textures or metallic finishes. These can add an extra layer of sophistication to your framed piece.

The Benefits of Custom Framing

Custom framing offers numerous advantages over off-the-shelf solutions, ensuring your artwork looks its best and stands the test of time.

Enhancing Presentation and Protection

Custom framing goes beyond mere aesthetics; it’s about preserving and showcasing your art in the best possible way.

Professional framing enhances the visual appeal of your artwork by providing a tailored presentation. The right frame and matboard combination can accentuate colours, create depth, and draw the viewer’s eye to the focal points of the piece.

Moreover, custom framing offers superior protection for your artwork. We use acid-free materials and offer UV-resistant glass to prevent fading and deterioration over time. This is particularly crucial for valuable or sentimental pieces.

Our framing experts can also address specific conservation needs, such as floating delicate papers or properly mounting textiles. This ensures that your artwork remains in pristine condition for years to come.

See for Yourself: Art Brought To Life

We have a range of prints available to view in our showroom that highlight our custom framing process. Here are a few examples of how our custom framing service has transformed simple prints into breathtaking wall art:

• We acquired a stunning oil painting on canvas and were tasked with complementing its stunning features. Our expert team stretched the canvas, and then added a teak floating frame to showcase its beauty. Designed for a beach house or modern aesthetic, this sits in our showroom as an example (and is for sale too!)

This illustrates how custom framing can elevate any piece of art, transforming it into a personalised masterpiece that tells your unique story.

Framing for Every Space

Whether you’re decorating your home, sprucing up your office, or searching for the perfect gift, custom framing offers versatile solutions for every space and occasion.

Framing for Home Décor

Framed artwork plays a crucial role in home décor, adding personality and style to any room. Here’s how custom framing can enhance different areas of your home:

In living rooms, large framed prints can serve as focal points, anchoring the room’s design. Consider a gallery wall of smaller framed pieces to create visual interest and showcase your personal style.

For bedrooms, choose frames and matboards that complement your colour scheme, creating a cohesive and relaxing atmosphere. Framed family photos or serene landscapes work well in these intimate spaces.

In dining areas, framed vintage posters or still-life prints can add a touch of elegance. Consider using frames that match your dining furniture for a coordinated look.

Remember, the right frame can transform even the simplest print into a statement piece that elevates your entire home décor.

Office and Gift Framing Solutions

Custom framing isn’t just for homes; it’s also perfect for office spaces and thoughtful gifts. Let’s explore these applications:

For offices, framed motivational prints or company achievements can inspire and impress. Choose frames that align with your brand’s aesthetic, whether that’s sleek and modern or classic and traditional.

When it comes to gifts, a beautifully framed piece of art or a cherished photograph shows thoughtfulness and care. Consider the recipient’s style and the intended display location when selecting the frame and matboard.

For corporate gifts, framed company logos or custom artwork can make for memorable and appreciated presents. These can be tailored to match the recipient company’s branding for an extra personal touch.

Premium framing materials from local, trusted suppliers are always available to help you choose the perfect framing solution for any space or occasion.
