Ground a space with custom framing

Grounding a room using custom framing is a great way to blend design function with style.

Custom framing can be used to anchor a room's overall design, making it feel comfortable, while incorporating key elements like warmth and
character. Here are our top tips to get you there.
​

Foundational element

Custom framing can be used as a foundational element in your decor to anchor a room. Use a large-scale artwork or a smaller piece with a substantial frame to create a central element in a room.

Balance

Ensure a space feels inviting and visually appealing with balance. Prominent architectural elements like doorways or larger furniture items can be offset with the weight of a gallery wall or other framed pieces. Going custom allows complete control over size and heftiness of the framing, depending on what is needed.

Open concept rooms are another architectural choice that can make a space feel scattered. Harmonize this type of room by carving in intentional living spaces or moments with custom framing. Think framed art above a single chair or a collection of framed items to solidify a reading nook, dining room or home office within the larger space.
​

Colour

Colour provides stability in a space by either tying a room together or adding a much needed contrast to an overall palette. The amount of colour, choice of colour and how it flows through that space can easily be achieved with custom framing elements. Use a stacked moulding design or filets to incorporate a subtle detail of colour or go all in with a fully-coloured moulding.

Character

Create a space that is not only grounded, but rich with stories and meaning. Bring in artwork, photographs, family heirlooms, travel souvenirs, or unique finds that resonate with your style. Introduce elements of interest and depth through different textures,  bright colours or raw materials, like wood mouldings or fabric mats.
