The Complete Guide to Custom Framing for Homes & Businesses in Vancouver

Custom framing is more than just a way to protect your photos, artwork, or certificates—it’s a statement. Whether you’re decorating a home, outfitting a restaurant, or enhancing an office space, the right frame elevates your space and ensures your pieces last a lifetime. In Vancouver, where style and design matter as much as quality, custom framing has become an essential part of interior aesthetics.

This guide covers everything you need to know about framing choices, glazing options, sizing, and how our in-studio services can help you get professional results.

Why Framing Matters

Frames do more than hold your artwork—they:

• Protect against dust, UV rays, and environmental damage

• Enhance the visual impact of your piece

• Tie your artwork to your interior décor

• Highlight colors, textures, and details

A well-chosen frame transforms your piece from ordinary to gallery-quality. In commercial spaces like restaurants, hotels, or offices, custom framing adds professionalism and sophistication that impresses clients and guests.

Wood vs Metal Frames

Choosing the right frame material depends on your style and environment:

• Wood Frames:

  • Classic and timeless

  • Adds warmth and texture

  • Ideal for homes, traditional offices, and cozy restaurants

• Metal Frames:

  • Sleek and modern

  • Durable and low-maintenance

  • Perfect for contemporary homes, offices, and high-traffic spaces

The choice of material impacts not only aesthetics but also longevity and care requirements.

Museum vs UV Glazing

Glazing protects your artwork from fading and damage. Two common options:

• Museum Glass:

  • Ultra-clear, anti-reflective

  • Maximum color accuracy

  • Protects from dust and minor scratches

• UV Glazing:

  • Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays

  • Preserves artwork from fading over time

  • Ideal for pieces exposed to sunlight

Selecting the right glazing ensures your framed piece maintains its beauty for years.

Best Sizes for Homes, Restaurants, Offices

Size matters when framing—too small or too large can throw off the balance of a room:

• Homes: Consider wall space and furniture layout; large statement pieces work well over sofas or mantels

• Restaurants: Medium to large prints work well to enhance ambiance and create a cohesive theme

• Offices: Professional-sized frames (certificates, artwork, photography) that complement room design without overwhelming the space

Our team can help you measure and select the perfect frame size for any environment.
