Imagine walking into a living room where a gallery wall showcases a collection of family photos, each meticulously framed in custom designs that complement the room’s decor. The elegance of a timber frame around a candid family moment, the sleekness of an acrylic block highlighting a breathtaking holiday sunset—these elements transform a house into a home. The choice of frames, whether classic or contemporary, adds layers of texture and personality to the space.

The psychological benefits are profound. Living among cherished memories can boost happiness and a sense of belonging. Seeing the smiling faces of loved ones daily reinforces positive emotions and strengthens familial bonds. Holiday photos, with their vivid colors and joyful moments, evoke a sense of adventure and relaxation, providing daily reminders of life’s pleasures.

Incorporating framed memories into home decor is not just about filling walls—it’s about creating an environment where beauty and happiness coexist, enriching our lives every day.

Firstly, Bespoke is an old English word that describes a conversation between a client and an artisan. That conversation leads to a handmade product that is the desired item for the client. It represents a melding of the client’s minds and the artisan. It is assisting the design, creating an enchanting, one of a kind product that reflects the artisan’s skill and the client’s vision.

The word describes a custom-made suit that adorns a distinguished discerning buyer’s figure and designs sense. In this age, bespoke is for handmade products made to the specifications requested by a patron.

in other words, Bespoke is an excellent description of the process involved in creating this special treatment of the artwork. The desires of the customer, coupled with the vision and suggested styles of the artisan framer, create a unique display never seen in another house or workspace.

What is Bespoke picture framing?

Bespoke or “Custom” picture framing has regularly been a bespoke process. A client delivers a treasure that they want to preserve and improve. It needs to fit in their life distinctly.

The mats need to complement the artwork. The framework needs to safeguard the art while completing the design.

Just as with determining the details of a custom shirt, when you can choose your cuff style, collar design, pleats and tucks, as well as fabric, bespoke picture framing allows virtually unlimited choices to make the design entirely yours.

Hundreds of mat colours and styles from reverse bevels, eight-ply thickness, gold fillets and decorated panels are only a few custom methods. Couple that with thousands of frame opportunities. You begin to see the vast array of solutions to your design outlook.

Bespoke is the opposite of the limitations of the big stores around town. It is one of life’s little entertainments to have a Bespoke picture frame like having a custom-produced suit.

Lastly, Spoil yourself. You won’t be sorry.

If you have different art pieces to hang in your home, just placing one piece up might not pass.

The concept of the salon wall originated in Paris in the 19th century, when aspiring artists presented their work at the Paris Salon. At its peak, the Salon drew upwards of 23,000 viewers a day.

Today, the salon wall concept—many pictures hung at various heights and formations—allows you to display many pieces on the same wall. It also gives observers a visual treat, helping them to draw connections between artworks of different styles and sizes.

Read on for six tips to plan your very own salon wall.

Salon-style walls can run floor to the roof or in a band across a broad wall.

1. Consider your stream.

Salon wall configurations can be checkerboard and logical or more random. It’s all about the examples of art you own and the look you are trying to accomplish. If you choose a proportional organisation, you’ll need to be very precise in your hanging process; your eyes will be drawn to any break in the balance.

2. Consider the space.

The overall state of your salon wall could depend on what encompasses it. For instance, a cascading composition can look great above a staircase, and 3-D pieces might also play well with the right group of images. If you are developing your wall around a piece of furniture, a sculpture, or an architectural fixture, first make sure you have enough art to follow through with the plan.

3. Think about a theme.

Maybe you group artworks that share a complementary colour scheme. Maybe one part breaks the trend and stands out as the “black sheep” in the selection. Group your art by subject, medium, and even frame style.

4. Planning to map out your salon wall decoration.

Use butcher paper on the floor and experiment with different formations of how you might hang the pieces, tracing the chosen design onto the paper and then converting it onto your wall.

5. Some rules still (might) apply.

If stacking pieces on your wall, remember, 6-12 centimetres is a great general rule for how much space should be in between art pieces.

6. Have fun with your wall.

A salon wall should be like a mini-museum inside your house. Incorporating mixed-media objects onto the wall—or even personal artefacts—can inspire and invite closer examination. Consider visiting a gallery for influence and ideas for creating vibrant displays of artwork.

Happy hanging!

We all agree that sitting in a white-walled cubicle with no decoration to speak of would be pretty uninspiring, right? CEOs and business owners realise that art in the workplace can add tremendous value to employees’ overall happiness and productivity. At Port Douglas Picture Framing, creating inspiring workplaces is what we do best. We’ve found a few reasons why adding artwork to the workplace is massively beneficial.

Increase Employee Productivity.

Colour in the workplace can increase employee productivity and creativity. This colour doesn’t have to come from the paint on a wall, though. The more creative you can incorporate colours into an office environment, the better. For example, use the energy of artwork by adding green in the lobby or a series of bright photos in a conference room. By giving employees something pleasing and stimulating to look at, you increase their overall productivity and creativity. Art also helps people be at ease in conference or interview rooms. When an increasing number of people work remotely, it’s essential to give employees a reason to enjoy being at the office.

Make a statement.

First impressions are critical, especially for businesses. Suppose you bring a prospective client or employee into an office with minimal decoration. In that case, they will think one or two things: One, if they can’t afford to buy decorations for their own office, they must not be doing an excellent job. Two, they mustn’t care about how their business looks or makes their employees feel. Repair this by spending a little time and money to decorate with art in the workplace.

Reinforce Company Values.

A popular choice for art today is incorporating organisations values or mission statements into various pieces—whether it is murals painted on walls or framed photographs conveying leading company ideals. This is an excellent option for many reasons, but because it uses art to reinforce company values and create a more inviting and inspiring environment for employees to thrive in.

Although many factors make a workspace inspiring, using the power of art may be one of the simplest yet most effective. If you’re looking to make bold statements and rejuvenate your workplace, we’d be happy to help!

As with all sports memorabilia, framing and presenting artefacts in the best possible way is at the forefront of our discussions with the client.

After measuring the card set, we recommended 1.5m wide x 1m high.

Finishing the basketball card set beautifully in a gold decorative frame and mounted to a backing board. With preservation glass.

The mounting of the cards was quite a task, taking 3 hours.

Our client was overwhelmed at how well this project turned out.

What do you think?

Creating this was an outstanding achievement by our team.

Do you have something that needs mounting, preserving or framing?

We’ve framed a lot of sports memorabilia over the years, including Boxing Gloves, Cricket Bats, Football Jersey’s and acrylic prints of great sporting moments, and now basketball cards

Boxed canvas prints are pretty fashionable at the moment.

A shadow box frame will compliment your art piece and look striking against almost any paint colour.

Our box framed canvas prints are a modern take on our original classic canvas prints.

A little different from a traditionally framed print, the canvas sits within the box frame with a 5mm – 10mm gap, creating a sophisticated shadow effect between the frame and the canvas.

We took our artist canvas prints with their archival inks, hardwood frames and beautiful hand-stretched finish and paired them with sleek frame choices.

We love boxed canvas frames.

Boxed canvases have been priced extremely competitively for our customers.

Using the highest quality timbers and mouldings, we professionally hand stretch your artworks, paintings, canvas prints or fabrics. 

Apart from stretching your canvases, we professionally frame them too!

With a broad range of frames and mouldings to choose from, you’ll find a style to suit your taste.

We highly recommend our ARTIS PURA Mouldings.

They are a unique and modern approach to framing canvases and look extremely impressive for canvas floating frames.

ARTIS PURA Mouldings offers three framing collections: standard, float and designer.

Timber varieties include:

Queensland Black Wattle, Black Bean, Blackwood, Cypress Pine, Queensland Maple, Rose Alder, Satin Sycamore, Silky Oak, Silver Ash and Western Australian Karri.

We have access to thousands of other mouldings and frame types. Come into the gallery to browse our collections or consult with our professional staff.

Beautifully unintrusive, bringing life to the photo and an excellent structure to the subject.

Choose a thick wooden frame, warm and homely, for your custom framed antiques or heirlooms.

Firstly, a classic, ornate frame enhances the delicate tones of a painting, or a modern minimalist structure to push the boldness of a timeless photograph boosts your art to the level of perfection.

Secondly, even an ordinary painting can appear impressive with a companion frame.

With the correct depth, matching the detail level and creating negative space with proper matting with either a bold or subtly contrasting colour brings out the best qualities.
