When Frame Design Meets Artwork
When frame design meets artwork! For this geometrical cone shaped print we wanted to follow with a custom double mat as close as possible the outline of the blue painting, and we did! We love the deep bevel of the white 8ply mat and the underlying black mat. Underglass Custom Framing in San Francisco is […]
A Balanced Frame Design For Oakland Street Artist’s Letterpress
We framed another local artist’s piece: GATS ( graffiti against the system ) . This 12×12 letterpress has such beautiful paper edges, we had to float it and just use a contemporary satin finish black frame to keep the Balance, which is also the name of this print. Please checkout @gatsptv for this street artist’s […]
Fabric Mat And Traditional Frame For This Watercolor
When we frame fine art, like this watercolor, we love to hear what our clients would like the frame design to be like. We loved the idea of a traditional picture frame for this one, the texture of the fabric mat really gives it a nice touch! As always, we aim for museum quality and […]
Using Shape and Color in Frame Design
We do pick up a lot on shapes and color in our frame designs! For this piece we used the shapes of the roofs as a guide for the actual frame shape. The art itself is pretty busy when you look close enough so we floated the paper on a mat and gave it a […]
Contemporary Hawaiian Art Framed
We love the soft palate, stylistic figures in Jack Soren’s art! Check out @jacksoren , this wave-surfing, mural-painting artist, inspired by O’ahu’s North Shore!

Iphone Photo Mounted And Framed
Our client had this iphone photo mounted on aluminum and we framed a textured metallic colored floater frame. We created a slightly wider gap between photo and frame to create more space. This custom picture frame design offers both, a strong, traditional look with its finish and a modern feel because it is a photo […]
Classic Frame Design With Gold Leaf
For these beautiful flower photographs we created a dramatic classic frame design with a gold leaf frame and fillet. We loved how the lighting of the photographs and tried to continue that feeling into this custom photo frame design!
Framing Art That Deals With The Human Body
It is Friday and we love the way this custom frame we just finished before the weekend starts! The washy finish of the wooden frame mimics the movement of the psychedelic painting and the super clean 8 ply mat creates the perfect contrast in this frame design. Also, when we posted this in our @underglassframing […]
Color and Style Choices for Wall Frames
