Creating the perfect frame for your art, photographs, or memorabilia isn’t just about protection—it's about crafting a display that complements and enhances your most treasured pieces. At West Coast Frames, we’ve spent nearly a century perfecting the art of framing, combining craftsmanship with customer-centered innovation. Our online custom frame designer brings that legacy straight to your fingertips, allowing you to create premium quality picture frames from the comfort of your home.
I'm Greg Tenney, owner of West Coast Frames, and today, I’m going to walk you through exactly how to use our custom frame designer to bring your vision to life. Whether you're aiming for a bold statement with one of our Gold Filagree picture frames or seeking a sleek modern look, this guide will ensure your framing experience is easy, enjoyable, and delivers the same excellence we’ve been known for—all proudly Made in USA.
Every artwork, photo, or keepsake tells its own story. Unfortunately, standard, off-the-shelf frames rarely do them justice. Whether it’s a unique size, an unconventional mat preference, or simply wanting better materials, one-size-fits-all frames often fall short. Worse still, the lack of quality control can result in poor protection for pieces that mean the world to you.
Custom framing isn't just a luxury; it's a necessity if you truly want to honor and protect your most important items.
Thanks to our easy-to-use online tool, you can now design a frame that's tailored to your specific vision and requirements. No guesswork. No compromise.
Imagine having full control over every aspect of your frame—size, material, color, matting—all while ensuring the finished product is built with the same attention to detail and high standards that have defined West Coast Frames for generations. Plus, every custom frame is professionally framed and delivered to your door, eliminating all the traditional stress.
Before you get started, measure the height and width of your artwork or item. Accuracy is key here, especially if you're framing something irregular. Double-check your measurements—trust me, taking the extra minute is worth it.
Head to our Picture Frame Shop and navigate to the "Custom Frame Designer" section. It's built to be user-friendly and intuitive, no advanced tech skills required.
Enter the exact dimensions of your artwork. The designer tool will immediately adjust frame and mat options to fit your specifications perfectly.
Here’s where the fun begins. Browse through a variety of frame profiles, including our elegant Gold Filagree picture frames and more contemporary options. Every frame listed is a reflection of our Made in USA quality guarantee.
Matting can dramatically affect the look of your final piece. Our designer allows you to choose single, double, or even triple mats. Select colors that either complement your artwork or provide striking contrast.
Choose from clear, non-glare, or UV-protective glass. For pieces that are valuable or sensitive to light, UV protection is highly recommended to preserve your investment.
Finalize small details like frame depth and backing options. We’re all about the fine details at West Coast Frames, because we believe even unseen elements matter.
Use our real-time preview feature to see how your finished product will look. This tool gives you the confidence that what you’ve envisioned is exactly what you'll receive.
Once you're satisfied, place your order. Our team of experienced artisans will take it from there, ensuring your custom piece is professionally framed and delivered straight to you, ready to hang and admire.
