Design Consultation

Our Design Consultation service is the gateway to creating a bespoke framing solution that not only protects your precious artwork but also complements your personal style and interior decor.

Visit our London Bridge studio, for an in-person consultation in selecting the optimum frame to complement your precious artwork and suit your budget. We can also arrange a consultation remotely over the phone or we can travel to you for an in-person consultation.

Expert Guidance

Our team of experienced consultants is dedicated to helping you navigate the myriad of framing options available, ensuring that your final choice is both visually stunning and practically sound.

Our Consultation Process

  1. Initial Assessment: We begin by carefully examining your artwork, considering its medium, size, colors, and subject matter. We also discuss where the piece will be displayed and any specific preferences you may have.
  2. Design Options:
    • Frame Selection: Based on our assessment, we present a curated selection of frame options. This includes various materials (wood, metal, acrylic), styles (traditional, contemporary, minimalist), and finishes (gilt, painted, natural).
    • Mount and Mat Options: We explore different mounting techniques and mat colors to enhance your artwork's presentation. This may include traditional window mounts, float mounts, or more contemporary approaches.
    • Glazing Choices: We discuss the various glazing options available, from standard glass to museum-grade UV-protective and anti-reflective options, ensuring your artwork is protected while maintaining optimal visibility.
  3. Project Budget: We work within your budget constraints, offering solutions that maximize value without compromising on quality or conservation standards.
