Over the years, we’ve framed a wide variety of items ranging from the traditional to the truly unique. We’ve compiled a list of the five most popular items that customers bring into our shop for framing. You can probably guess some of them right away, but a few might surprise you. I know the suspense is killing you, so let’s get right to the list.
Family Photos
It probably comes as no surprise that among the items we frame most frequently are family photos. Surrounding ourselves with photos of loved ones can create a sense of home and call to mind shared family memories. Whether the image is a candid shot or a carefully posed, formal portrait, you are transported back to that particular moment. Because of their personal nature, family photos can evoke many emotions. The style of framing material can blend in with or lend contrast to the subject, adding another layer of depth and dimension.
Posters
Posters may have been the extent of your art collection when you were a teen, but you probably never thought about having them professionally framed. Preserving that nostalgic poster from your very first concert or a fine art print from your favorite museum transforms it into a display-worthy conversation piece.
