An important part of decorating your home is displaying art and photographs. But there is one thing that might fly under the radar - choosing the picture frame.

Most people buy ready-made picture frames and don’t think too much about it. Does my art or picture fit, and will it match where I want to hang it? The benefits of a custom picture frame go  way beyond those basic considerations. 

At Border & Square, we specialize in crafting exquisite, one-of-a-kind handmade picture frames.

This list explains how a custom picture frame protects and adds value to your artwork, and to your enjoyment of it. A custom frame is not just worth the initial cost, they are a worthwhile investment. 

1. Tailored to Fit Your Artwork

Whether you have a piece of artwork or a cherished family photo longing for display, a custom picture frame guarantees a perfect fit. Say goodbye to awkward gaps and frames that look visually crowded.

You don’t have to choose the standard sizes commonly found in stores. A custom-made frame is also custom sized, considering both overall dimensions and the thickness of what will be framed. You can also frame objects and keepsakes. It's like a custom-made outfit for your artwork, like no other.

2. Preserves and Protects

Your art and photos need to be protected. We use museum-quality materials and techniques to protect your heirlooms for years to come. All our custom frames come equipped with UV-protective glass, guarding your artwork against the sun, and protecting it from fading and degradation over time. This investment safeguards your memories and preserves your art's value.

3. Distinctive Design and Personal Touches

Express your unique style and individuality with a custom picture frame. Our wide selection of materials, colors, and finishes lets you create a frame that complements your art and matches your home.

Whether you want to make your artwork the focal point or have it blend harmoniously into a gallery wall, it is a golden opportunity to add your personality to your space.

4. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal

Picture frames are more than a practical way to house your art. They contribute to your art's overall beauty and are specifically designed to complement your decor. A custom frame can serve as the unique touch that unifies your space and makes it your own.

5.  Premium Materials

Mass-produced frames often compromise on materials. However, at Border & Square, we exclusively use premium raw lumber and framing materials that are time-tested. A custom frame is an investment in enduring quality.

6.  Infinite Design Options

Customization is not just in the size and materials you choose for the frame itself. You can also select from a multitude of matting options, adding depth and visual interest to your framed piece. Our professional framers offer invaluable guidance in choosing the perfect mat from a sea of choices.

7.  Matched to your Budget

You can enjoy the benefits and beauty of a custom frame, while sticking to your budget. Ask us about our wide range of material and design selections. We will make sure you are comfortable with the cost before proceeding.

8.  Bringing Your Art's Full Potential to Life

A custom frame adds to your artwork without stealing the show. Our frame designs are masterfully crafted to guide the viewer's gaze towards your artwork, helping to highlight the artist’s vision.

9. Enhanced Value

Choosing a custom frame becomes an investment in your art and your memories. Quality custom framing adds to the perceived worth of your artwork, potentially boosting its resale value. Custom frames also make sure your original investment is protected.

10. Sentimental Significance

A lot of times, it does not come down to only the cost or how a frame looks. The sentimental value of a custom frame, one personally designed for a cherished family heirloom or beloved photograph, becomes a part of your story.

So, why are custom picture frames a worthwhile investment?

They offer you the chance to present your art and memories in the finest possible light. They deliver protection, personalization, and elevate your art in a way that a mass-produced frame cannot compete with.

A custom frame is an investment in what matters most - your treasured memories and your living space's beauty.
