Framing

Framebridge

All of us have things sitting in boxes, drawers, and on our phones that we’d rather have up on our walls.  At Framebridge, we’re making custom framing so easy and delightful that you’re inspired to celebrate everything you love–big, little and in-between. Whether digital photo or physical item, single frame or gallery wall, Framebridge has you covered. With our transparent pricing, there are no surprises. The price you see is the price you’ll pay–and shipping is always free. With over two dozen frame styles and mat options, you're sure to find the perfect combo to bring your piece to life. You can even personalize it with a brass plate, mat caption, or story pocket! Whether it’s macaroni art or a Picasso sketch, we treat every piece like a masterpiece. 

We source the best materials in the industry like wood mouldings, acrylic glazing with UV protection, and acid-free mats and foam core. With old school craftsmanship, new technology, and some serious attention to detail, our craftspeople custom build every frame at our studios. We ship every frame with the best hardware for your piece—nails, hooks, corner brackets—and every gallery wall includes a life-sized hanging guide. There’s no reason to wait forever for your framed piece. We get started once you place your order and keep you posted every step of the way.
