  • Absolutely, our framing design consultants love this process so much. If you have no idea where to begin, we will guide you from the get-go. Tell us your vision for the piece, if you have one. Where will it hang? What kind of style do you have in that space? Bring a quick photo of the space. Will it be by a window or in a hallway? At the end of the day, we want you to leave with something that feels personal for you and preserves the artwork. We're here to help as much as you need! We offer in-home consultations and showroom appointments.
