Our Bespoke Picture Framing Process

The framing process with Greenhill Galleries begins with a personalised consultation with our one of our expert framing team. We believe that understanding your unique needs and vision is essential to creating the perfect frame for your item. During this consultation, we'll take the time to listen to your requirements, discuss any special considerations, and assess the characteristics of your item. Whether it's a valuable piece of artwork, a cherished photograph, or an item of sentimental memorabilia, we're committed to understanding your expectations and delivering framing solutions that exceed them.

Our consultation process is designed to be collaborative and informative, allowing you to ask questions, explore options, and make informed decisions about your framing project. We'll provide expert advice on frame styles, materials, and design options, ensuring that your frame not only enhances the visual appeal of your item but also complements your personal style and the decor of your space.

We'll take the time to understand your vision and requirements. This initial consultation helps us gather all the necessary information to provide you with the best framing solutions.

With a clear understanding of your needs and preferences, we'll move on to the design phase of your framing project. Our skilled framers will work closely with you to develop a custom frame design that perfectly suits your item and meets your aesthetic preferences.

We offer a wide range of frame styles, materials, and finishes to choose from, ensuring that you have plenty of options to create a frame that reflects your unique style and enhances the beauty of your item.

During the design process, we'll consider factors such as the size and shape of your item, its colour palette, and the overall look and feel you want to achieve. Whether you prefer a classic and timeless frame or a more contemporary and modern design, we'll work with you to create a frame that not only complements your item but also enhances its visual impact.

Once the frame design is finalised, we'll move on to selecting the mount and glazing options for your framed piece. The mount, or mat, serves as a border between your item and the frame, adding depth and dimension to the overall presentation.

We offer a variety of mount colours, materials, and textures to choose from, allowing you to customise the look of your frame and create a unique and personalised display.

In addition to the mount, we'll also discuss glazing options to protect your item from dust, light, and other environmental factors. We offer a range of glazing options, including standard glass, UV-protective glass, and acrylic, each offering different levels of protection and clarity.

Our framing experts will help you select the best glazing option for your item, ensuring that it remains safe and pristine for years to come.

With all the design decisions made, our skilled team will begin building your frame with precision and care. Using high-quality materials and state-of-the-art equipment, we'll construct a frame that meets our exacting standards and exceeds your expectations.

This process involves cutting and assembling the frame, preparing the mount, and fitting your item securely within the frame.

Throughout the framing process, we pay close attention to every detail, ensuring that your frame is crafted with the utmost precision and care. Our goal is to create a frame that not only enhances the visual appeal of your item but also provides the necessary protection to preserve its beauty and integrity for years to come.

Once your frame is complete, we'll notify you that your framed piece is ready for collection. When you pick up your framed item, our team will provide guidance on how to properly hang and care for it, ensuring that it looks its best and to ensure that your framed piece is securely and beautifully displayed.

Our goal is to provide you with a finished product that exceeds your expectations and brings joy and satisfaction for years to come. We take pride in delivering exceptional craftsmanship and personalised service, and we're committed to ensuring that your framing experience with Greenhill Galleries is a positive and enjoyable one.
