With time and experience comes exceptional skill and attention to detail.

That’s the Inspired Framing promise.

 

Gillian has been crafting and executing fine framing designs since 2002 when she first trained as a custom picture framer in Donvale. Since then she has had the pleasure of framing an enormous range of artworks and objects.

 

‘The greatest part of being a framer is witnessing the pure joy on my client’s face when I transform their artworks into beautiful wall furnishings that provide a constant source of pleasure.’

The Inspired Difference

 

Inspired Framing was born from a desire to create a tailor-made picture framing experience.

Inspired Framing’s home consultation service offers a unique approach to artwork framing. Gillian provides exquisite framing designs and invaluable insight into how your artwork will blend with your interior décor. She also advises you on how to hang your new artwork and current frames more effectively for a better overall interior look.

When you design in your home or business you are able to blend with the surrounding room whilst creating a framing design that works with the artwork itself. When you are in a framing shop it can be tricky to accurately remember every aspect of your décor. This makes the framing design process a little more haphazard and often the results can be underwhelming and disappointing.

After 10 years as a retail framer, Gillian knew that she wanted to leverage her design talent to provide a more personalised client relationship. This goal was met by fashioning a complete in-home picture framing experience that includes not only framing the artwork but also makes the whole process effortless with home design consults, pick up and delivery – all at a time that suits you.

 

About Inspired Framing

The Inspired Experience

 

After 10 years as a retail framer, Gillian knew that she wanted to take her design talents and focus on a more personalised client relationship by offering them a complete in-home picture framing service.

Here’s how it works…

Your initial consultation (which is free and with no obligation) is purely designed to meet you, your home and your artwork. Gillian will ask questions around whether you have any specific framing design ideas that you would like to incorporate.

At the same time Gillian will photograph and measure your artwork in order to start the design process in her studio. She will also photograph and measure the area where you would like to hang your finished artwork.

During your second consultation, three framing designs will be presented along with full digital frame visualisations, complete wall and room visualisations and all the physical samples. Once you have agreed to go ahead your work can be either fitted on site or taken away, framed and delivered back to you.

I telephoned Gill to enquire about having 3 artworks framed for my bedroom. She came out to my home, listened to me, took into account my furnishings. As someone who cannot visualize, it was amazing the options and suggestions she gave me. Gill went away and sent a digital photos of what to expect the finished work would look like. They are just amazing and look beautiful on my wall. I was so impressed I asked her to reframe my late husband & my photos, with a few adjustments to the background they also look refreshed and stunning. I have had framing done elsewhere over the years but after my experience with Gill I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. She is very professional, efficient and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend her to anyone

Gill came to our house and provided great advice on the frame we required that would suit our home and colour palette. Gill’s ability to come to your home gives your greater confidence in choosing the style and colour of frame that suits the print or painting and your home decor.
We were very happy with Gill’s advice and professionalism and thoroughly recommend her services to anyone needing any framing work.

Until I met Gill I had never been fully aware of the massive influence a complementary frame can have on a painting, by way of adding extra depth, atmosphere, impact and emotion. At the time of our first meeting, all of my paintings had been in white, silver, gold or beige frames. Gill opened my eyes to the vast range of designs and finishes which are also available. It was wonderful to look at all the exciting possibilities at home – in perfect peace and without the inevitable distractions of a retail environment. Needless to say, it also ensured that any frames selected would be compatible with my internal décor and also positioned to do full justice to the content and presentation of the picture. Being looked after by an artist was another huge bonus - Gill exudes creative energy, infectious enthusiasm and good taste. I have been more than happy with every project she has handled for me, and what’s more she brings the finished product to my doorstep. It doesn’t get better than that!

I was most impressed by Inspired Framing's good communication, drop-off/delivery service and a stunning final product. Gill will answer all your framing-related questions and even provide online samples for your work, so you can decide which final design works best for your artwork. Inspired Framing also offer a drop-off and delivery service which is amazing. A great experience and a professional and beautiful final product. I will be recomending Inspired Framing to others!

Gill is absolutely fantastic! As was the entire Inspired Framing experience. I wanted to get a hand painted mandala from Nepal framed but had no idea where to start. I put a call out to friends and Gill's name came up several times, I reached out to her and wasn't disappointed. Gill came to my home to view the piece and chat about frame options, take measurements, look at placement options etc. She sent me some digital mock ups and came back to visit with different coloured back boards, different frame options and glass. As someone who cannot visualise it was amazing being able to see the options hanging on my wall and then to see them up close. The differences in the glass options alone were fascinating. Gill listened to my thoughts and opinions, and was more than willing to take the lead when I asked for hers. As the expert, her opinion and thoughts were incredibly valuable to me and I appreciated that she could help me nail down my options in order to work out what I wanted. She took into consideration my price range and love of local timber. I fell even more in love with my piece when it was returned to me. I was absolutely blown away with how the frame and back boards came together with the glass to make my piece even more stunning. If you have a good idea of what look you're after then I couldn't recommend Gill's services more. If you have no concept of colour theory etc. then I would say run, don't walk, and book in an appointment with Gill, you can thank me later!

We were very impressed with the attention to detail and craftsmanship that Gill put into framing our picture. Gill has a keen eye for matching the frame to the piece, and the environment it was hung in, bringing it to life. She also had a few handy suggestions re location of other pictures we have. We couldn't be happier with the final result, and would absolutely recommend Gill's framing service to anyone looking for high-quality, personalised work.

I highly recommend Gill from Inspired Framing. Gill made the whole experience seamless. She offered professional advice, was easy to contact and was prompt with her service. Her in-home service meant that she was able to see where the artwork will hang and so was able to offer advice on suitable framing when considering the surrounding decor.

Gill framed 3 indigenous prints I bought recently and the outcome was excellent. The photos show the finished result, one of which was taken in the evening where the effect with the lamplight and plant below is probably even better than during the daytime. Gill gave great advice on her first visit and then brought the framed prints round on completion. Her supplier had put the
wrong colour mattboard on and Gill was happy to change that but once the frame was up we both agreed it looked great as it was.
I have no hesitation in recommending Inspired Framing to you!
