Picture framers in Washington

28 framers are mapped within about nine miles of central Washington. A custom frame is the difference between a print and a picture; it is also where most of the money goes, so know what you want before you walk in.

Washington has real winters, which is when the cozy index peaks: long dark evenings, cold and rain or snow. Dry heated air is hard on wood frames and canvas; a humidifier helps both the art and the people.

Before you go

  • Measure the print, not the paper you think it is: standard sizes (8×10, 11×14, 16×20, 18×24, 24×36) take ready-made frames for a tenth of the price.
  • Ask for a mat with a UV-filtering glass or acrylic on anything you care about; sun fades paper in a year on a bright wall.
  • Bring a photo of the wall and the room; a good framer picks the moulding for the room, not the counter.

What works

  • Floating frames suit canvas; mats suit paper. A print under glass with no mat touches the glass and sticks over time.
  • Order the frame to the print, never cut the print to the frame.
  • Museum prints on heavy paper take a wider mat (2½–3 inches) and look twice the price.
