Custom Picture Framing for Chapel Hill
A studio that takes your artwork as seriously as you do.
Chapel Hill is ten minutes from the Framehouse studio in Brookfield. For residents who’ve spent time choosing the right artwork, the right frame matters just as much. We work by appointment, take two weeks, and frame to a conservation standard that protects what you’ve invested — financially and emotionally.
Craft & Process
Considered framing for Chapel Hill.
The frame is the last decision in the life of an artwork and the first thing a visitor notices on your wall. We treat that decision with the weight it deserves. Moulding selection, mat colour, reveal width, glass choice — each variable is considered in the context of the specific work in front of us, not applied from a standard template. We stock mouldings, matboards and all critical framing supplies from Australia’s most respected suppliers serving the industry — alongside conservation matboard and UV-filtering glass options suited to everything from a framed print to a significant original. If you’re unsure what your artwork needs, bring it in. The consultation is the best part of the process, especially over a relaxing coffee or tea! Our Brookfield workshop is set up with all the equipment needed to do the job properly — a Brevetti dual mitre saw, an Alfamacchine underpinner, a Fletcher 3100 substrate cutter and a Valiani Nexus Edge 150 computer mat cutter (CMC) for precise, intricate matwork.
There’s a quiet advantage to a boutique, home-based studio: our framing is competitively priced. Without a shopping-centre lease, a shopfront to staff, or a retail precinct’s overheads to recover, your quote reflects the work and the materials themselves — not the rent. Gallery-standard framing, without the gallery-precinct mark-up.
Framing what you’ve earned
Chapel Hill households tend to have more than one certificate worth framing. A PhD in the study, a medical fellowship in the hallway, a trade certificate, or a Year 12 award the kids have already forgotten about. Framehouse frames academic and professional credentials with conservation-grade materials (alpha-cellulose matboard, UV-filtering glass, acid-free backing) — so the things that took the longest to earn are the ones best protected.

Bespoke framing for Chapel Hill — a studio that takes the decision seriously
Chapel Hill households tend toward considered interiors — artworks are chosen, not accumulated. The same instinct that leads someone to spend time selecting the right piece for a wall should lead them to spend equal time selecting the right frame. At Framehouse, that's exactly how we work. The consultation is unhurried. The moulding and matboard options are explored in the context of your specific artwork. Nothing is rushed.
From Chapel Hill, Framehouse is approximately ten minutes along Moggill Road. The studio is on an acreage property in Brookfield — a peaceful setting with ample parking, the sound of birds in the trees, and a private appointment that's focused entirely on your piece. It's a deliberate alternative to the shopping centre framer: quieter, more personal, and built around the work rather than around volume.
The aesthetic conversation
Lois, who works alongside Brenton in the studio, brings a calibrated eye for colour and design to every consultation. Mat combinations, moulding profiles, reveal widths — the aesthetic conversation is as important to us as the technical one. We're not simply fitting a frame around an artwork. We're completing it. For clients who have invested time and care in their interiors, that approach makes a visible difference.
Framing what you've earned
Chapel Hill households tend to have more than one certificate worth framing — a PhD, a professional qualification, a medical fellowship, or a Year 12 award. Framehouse frames academic and professional credentials with conservation-grade materials so the things that took the longest to earn are the ones best protected. Acid-free matboard, UV-filtering glass, archival reversible mounting — standard on every job.
The workshop is equipped for the work
Framehouse's workshop includes a Valiani Nexus 150 CMC computerised mat cutter, a Brevetti Double Mitre Saw, and an Alfamacchine underpinner — professional equipment chosen for precision and versatility. We handle everything from small watercolours to large-format canvases, and from single prints to multi-aperture mat collections. If you're unsure what your artwork needs, bring it in. The consultation — over a coffee or tea — is the best part of the process.
The right frame is worth the ten-minute drive from Chapel Hill.
