When it comes to framing your artwork, photos or prints, standard sizes don’t always work. That’s where custom picture frames made to measure come in. Instead of adjusting your artwork to fit a frame, you can create a frame designed precisely around your piece, down to the millimetre.
At The Picture Gallery, we specialise in bespoke picture frames, handcrafted in our UK workshop and delivered straight to your door.
Why Choose Picture Frames Made to Measure?
Off-the-shelf frames are designed around common print sizes like A4 or A3. But artwork often varies slightly, and even a few millimetres can make a big difference.
With picture frames made to measure, you get:
- A precise fit for your artwork
- A professional, gallery-quality finish
- Protection against bending or movement
- A choice of over 200+ styles and finishes
Whether you’re framing a large poster, a certificate, a panoramic photograph or a sentimental family portrait, a made-to-measure frame ensures it looks its best.
What Can You Customise?
Ordering custom size picture frames online is simpler than you might think. Using our design studio, you can personalise:
Frame Profiles:
Choose from slim contemporary frames, traditional mouldings, or deep box profiles.
Finishes
Black, white, oak, walnut, silver, gold and colour options to suit modern or classic interiors.
Glazing Options
- Acrylic (clear, anti-glare or UV-protective)
- Glass (collection from Bedford only)
Mount Options
Add a custom mount to enhance the artwork and create visual space around the image.
Every frame includes a 2.5mm MDF backing board and hanging fixings, so it’s ready to display straight away.
How to Measure Your Artwork Correctly
To order your frame:
- Measure the exact size of your artwork in millimetres.
- Decide whether you’d like a mount.
- Enter your dimensions into the online size tool.
- Select your style and glazing options.
We then handcraft your frame to your exact specifications and dispatch it within 2–4 working days.
