Creating One of a Kind Picture Frames at Border & Square

December 1, 2023

Finding the perfect frame for your artwork can be a challenge.

Finding the right frame for your artwork is so important, and it can be tougher than you think when looking at ready made frames.

 

To create the perfect frame, look for help from the experts at Border & Square. Based in Provo, we specialize in crafting custom picture frames that harmonize perfectly with your artwork, using museum quality techniques and materials.


Have you ever wondered about the current trends in picture frames? Should you go for a trendy style or a more timeless, classic one.  Do you know what size, material, and color would best match your home or office decor.


What if you need to frame something that is an odd size, or an object like clothing, medals or other keepsakes. There is also the issue of protecting valuable artworks. 


Lots to think about!

 

And of course you also want to know  "How much does it cost to frame a picture?" The almost endless choices can make it challenging to provide a single price. At Border & Square, we're here to provide you with valuable insights to guide your decision.


Custom frames offer a world of possibilities, tailored to any type of artwork, from photographs and paintings to sports jerseys. At Border & Square, we've handcrafted frames for gallery exhibitions of all sizes, and for all sizes of homes.


Whether you prefer the classic elegance of ornate wooden frames, the modernity of plain designs, or the distinctive character of carved wood, there's a frame that can truly reflect your style.


Experiment with textures, finishes, and colors to craft frames that both protect and elevate your art, and are works of art in themselves.  


Here are a few beautiful examples of frames we have made:

Traditional Wooden Frames

Wooden frames are a timeless choice, adding warmth and classic appeal. You can start by selecting the wood type that complements your artwork's style, such as oak, walnut, cherry, or maple. Consider various finishes like stain, paint, or natural wood grain. The frame's profile is also important —choose between flat, beveled, or ornate designs.

Carved Frames

The use of gold on the frame and the inner mat draws the eye to the framed diploma.

Framed Objects

We can frame 3D artwork or collectibles such as this sports jersey. These frames creatively house all kinds of objects, adding depth and dimension to your piece, while protecting it.


This signed sports jersey will retain it's value in a protective custom frame.




Gilded Frames

Gilding is an art form that involves adding genuine gold highlights to a hardwood picture frame, not just using gold paint. This classic technique can lend an old-world or contemporary aesthetic to your frame.


Here is a great example of adding drama, color and appeal to an artwork with gilding. And keeping it looking timeless.

Frame Restoration

Wood frames require special care and with extensive experience in our craft, you can trust that we will return your frame to you in brilliant condition.
