Welcome to the World of Framing: The Skill of Making Your Artwork Bold, Breathe, or Blend.

One of the most important elements in showcasing an artwork is framing. A well-chosen frame will be sympathetic to both the art and its surroundings. It can compliment the work and your existing decor, or can demand attention. There is no ‘one fits all’ solution, as artworks and home interiors are so varied in style and mood.

From choosing the right frame to placing it in our clients’ spaces, presenting art is as important as the art itself.

Frames might seem like just accessories, but they play a big role. Imagine finding the perfect artwork, only to realise the frame doesn’t quite fit in your home. It’s not just about looks; the frame completes the artwork’s story and enhances its beauty.

When you visit museums or galleries, you notice certain pieces stand out. Some have fancy gold frames, others have sleek metal ones, and some are frameless altogether. Ever wonder what swapping frames would do? It’s a game-changer! The right frame isn’t just important; it’s essential for the artwork to shine. A new frame can inject some rejuvenation into your old artworks, so they are no longer ignored.

It’s not just about colour; it’s about matching the artwork’s style. Artists and collectors used to treat frames like ‘best friends to their masterpieces’, making sure they complement each other perfectly. Does the frame capture the artwork’s vibe? Does it draw you in or push you away? Whether you’re buying a pre-framed piece or framing it yourself, these questions matter.

Frames can also offer protection. Different artworks need different care. Some need protective glass, while others shouldn’t touch glass at all. A simple change in framing can save your artwork from damage.

At Lux Gallery, we can help you choose a frame that works with the artwork and also your interior design style. We have partnered with Precision Imaging in Birmingham, who are supplied by the UK’s largest suppliers of frame mounting – so there is always a solution to your exacting framing needs.

From framing simple posters or family photos, to investment or antiquarian artworks, we’ve got you covered! From simple white or black options, to ornate gold frames that are almost artworks themselves. We have solutions for every style and every budget.

Please contact us with your framing requirements, including artwork style and size for a quote – or bring your art into the gallery. 

Note: We hold a select few sample chevrons (framing corners) in the gallery, and we can source hundreds of different framing options.
