When clients walk into FrameZA, they often ask me the same question: “How much should I spend on framing?” My answer is always the same — it depends on what you’re framing, how you want it to live in your space, and how much magic you want me to weave into it.
Because here’s the truth: framing isn’t just about borders and glass. It’s about storytelling, preservation, and impact. A frame can transform a simple photograph into a centerpiece, or turn a pile of memories into a breathtaking gallery wall.
The Investment in Framing
- Everyday prints or posters? You can spend modestly – from R500 to R3,500 — and still get a clean, stylish finish.
- Sentimental or valuable pieces? Think R3,500 upwards, for classic unforgettable framing, custom matting and UV glass that protects your treasures.
- Show‑stopping statement pieces? R5,500 and up, especially if you want ornate baroque frames, black‑mirror typography, or complex multiple apertures.
Remember: a frame is both protection and presentation. Spending a little more upfront ensures your artwork lasts for decades without fading or warping.
