How to Choose the Perfect Frame for Your Home
At Versus Arts, we provide bespoke picture framing in London to help you find the ideal custom frame for your home. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace or a modern flat, our picture framing shop in London offers tailored solutions to suit every space and style.
Living in London means embracing a mix of history, modernity, and personal style—especially when it comes to your home. Whether you’re in a Victorian terrace in Lower Clapton or a sleek flat in Shoreditch, the right picture frame can transform your space. At Versus Arts, we’ve been helping Londoners find bespoke framing solutions that suit their unique homes. Here’s your guide to choosing the perfect frame for your London abode.
1. Match Your Interior Style
London homes are as diverse as the city itself. A minimalist frame in matte black might suit a modern loft, while an ornate solid wood frame could complement a period property. Start by noting your decor—industrial, Scandinavian, or classic British? For example, our custom frames at Versus Arts come in a range of finishes, from natural oak to bold stains, ensuring a seamless fit with your style.
2. Consider the Artwork or Item
The frame should enhance, not overshadow, what’s inside. A bold painting might need a simple tray frame to let the colours pop, while a delicate family photo could shine in a box frame with museum-quality glass. In our Lower Clapton shop, we offer tailored consultations to match your piece with the ideal frame—whether it’s art, a certificate, or a 3D keepsake.
3. Think About Space and Scale
In a compact London flat, oversized frames can overwhelm a room, while small frames might get lost in a grand Victorian hallway. Measure your wall space and consider proportions. A tip? Cluster smaller frames for a gallery wall effect—perfect for East London’s creative vibe. We’ve seen this work beautifully in homes near Clapton Square!
4. Play with Colour Psychology
Colours set the mood. A warm walnut frame can make a living room feel cosy, while a crisp white frame adds freshness to a kitchen. At Versus Arts, we help you pick hues that harmonise with your walls and furnishings, drawing on years of framing expertise in London.
5. Protect Your Investment
London’s damp winters and dusty summers can take a toll on artwork. Opt for UV-protective glass and acid-free mounts to keep your pieces pristine. Our bespoke framing services in East London prioritise conservation, so your art stays vibrant for decades.
Why Go Bespoke?
Mass-produced frames from high-street shops rarely fit London’s eclectic homes. Bespoke framing, like what we craft at Versus Arts, ensures a perfect match in size, style, and quality. Visit us at 114A Lower Clapton Rd E50QR.
