Careful planning of colour, frame and decorative elements bring out the best from both the art and the room. Exact attention to detail also ties the artwork back to the furniture, thus creating a balanced, visual environment and achieving the mood you desire.

Purvis Gallery and Framing has been preserving important pieces since 1987. In addition to artwork, photographs and paintings, we are a trusted service for antiques, significant documents, family mementoes and needlework. We will help you tell your story through perfectly designed framing using only archival materials and methods.

We can help you by conducting in-home consultations, assisting with colour and design ideas, and providing time-saving service and protective shipping.

When choosing a framing option, consider these four tips:

1. Use your comfort colours. Chances are you have already used your comfort colours in the design of your room, so keep that comfort going with your wall art. This will help the room pull together.

2. How long do you intend to keep the framed piece? If you tend to change your decor frequently, a framed piece of artwork can really draw attention just by replacing either the print or the colour of the matting! There are hundreds of prints and colours to choose from.

3. Where is the framed piece to be placed? Are you looking for a focal point or an accent piece? Make sure the viewing space is appropriate for your intentions.
