Kings Framing & Art Gallery has proudly served Canadians since July 8th, 2008.
We all have distinctive, cherished memories we wish to preserve. Whether it is a family photograph, an artwork, or a treasured keepsake, these items carry sentimental significance and merit display. This is where personalized conservation framing becomes essential.
Conservation framing employs specialized archival materials to safeguard and sustain artwork, photographs, and other valuable artifacts.
King’s Framing Specializes in Custom Framing!
The Art of Framing goes beyond simple art frames; it can be essential for preserving, presenting, or even enhancing your artwork. Not only do frames protect your beloved creations, but they also enhance their aesthetic appeal. If you are an artist or art lover in Canada, you are likely looking for high-quality frames and reliable art supplies. Luckily, there’s a one-stop shop that fulfils all your creative needs.
Available Types of Art Frames
When choosing an art frame, you consider your personal preference, the artwork and where it will be displayed. King's Framing & Art Gallery offers a wide variety of options to suit every style and need:
1. Wooden Frames
Wood frames are considered classic and timeless, making them ideal for displaying paintings, portraits, and photographs. A wide variety of finishes are available, including natural, stained, painted, and others.
2. Metal Frames
Metal frames offer a stylish, low-maintenance choice. They appear sleek and modern, making them ideal for contemporary and abstract art. Additionally, they are lightweight and durable.
NOTE: I like to use them to hold my watercolour paper with a plexiglass backing. As the watercolour paper dries, it helps to flatten the paper back down.
3. Floating Frames
Back floating frames create the illusion that the artwork is floating. Due to their design, they are ideal for canvases and enhance a gallery style presentation.
Note: Floating frames are well-suited for art exhibitions, promoting unity and giving buyers the option to include a frame. The sturdy wooden frame allows the artist to change paintings easily.
4. Custom Frames
Sometimes, a custom frame is necessary. Custom frames allow you to tailor every detail, from the material colour to the exact dimensions.
Note: Like a good interior designer, a good custom framer will enhance your work.

How to Choose the Right Art Frame
Choosing just the right art frame can be intimidating unless you come prepared. Here’s how to select the best frame for your artwork:
1. Consider the Artwork
Since your work is on continuous display, your frame must relate to the subject, colours, and style of your artwork. For example, black-and-white photography can appear sharp in gold or silver frames or modern, sleek black or charcoal frames.
2. Think About the Room
The frames should complement the space where the artwork will be placed without detracting from the artwork. Bold frames make strong statements in minimalist spaces, while neutral tones are most appropriate in most settings.
3. Pay Attention to Size
Significant artworks can be overwhelming in oversized framing, and tiny framing can make a significant work of art look small. You'll need to set the correct art dimensions and balance the sizes for your chosen frame.
4. Choose Archival Materials
Items of value or sentimental items are best displayed in archival quality frames with conservation acid-free mats to protect them from damage over time.
