How to make a piece feel designer

No matter what art style or type of item you are framing, here's how to make the custom framing feel high-end.

​Le Frame Shoppe is a proud custom framing business and we love turning an artwork or item that might appear "simple" into an end piece that is elevated and feels designer. Follow these tips to get your own wow piece.

Change the frame

A dull frame will make your art feel just that - dull and a design piece is anything but that. So our first and foremost tip is to change out those generic metal frames for something that is more unique and has interest.

Pull from the details of the art

Whether it be a colour, texture or pattern detail, incorporating a select element from the art into your frame design, instantly makes the art and framing feel cohesive and curated. The gold details in this Versace fashion image inspired the frame design.

Add drama

A moment of drama is a must when it comes to making a piece feel designed. You don't have to go extreme, even the smallest touch of texture, rich fabrics or gold details will elevate a piece.

This Versace fashion image has a presence with a snake skin inspired, jewelled-gold frame with black fabric mat and slight gold accent, all recessed under art glass.
