Custom Picture Framing for Indooroopilly
There are framing shops closer to home, including at the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre — and for some jobs they'll do the trick. Framehouse offers something different: a by-appointment studio in Brookfield, 15–18 minutes west, where one framer handles your artwork personally from consultation to completion, using conservation-standard materials. The drive is part of it — a short trip into a rural setting, with ample parking, the sound of birds and a creek flowing through the property among Brookfield's trees. If you'd welcome a slower pace over a coffee or tea, away from the busyness of the shopping centre, the difference is apparent the moment you see the finished work.
Craft & Process
We’re direct about what we offer and what we don’t. We don’t do same-day framing. We don’t have a wall of pre-cut frames. We don’t rush. What we offer is two weeks of careful work, a considered conversation about what your artwork deserves, and a finished result you’ll still be proud of in decades. For Indooroopilly clients with original artworks, significant prints, or pieces that came from a gallery rather than a poster shop, conservation framing is often the right choice. We’ll explain exactly what that means for your specific piece — the matboard grade, the glass option, the mounting method — and let you decide with full information. 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. 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!
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.
Indooroopilly 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.
The drive from Indooroopilly to Brookfield follows Moggill Road through Kenmore — 15–18 minutes on a clear run.
Fifteen minutes. Decades on the wall.

Indooroopilly is close to the Gallery of Modern Art, the Queensland Art Gallery, and the University of Queensland. Its residents tend to have collected deliberately — art bought from galleries, pieces commissioned from artists, prints from international travels. When it's time to frame those works, the framing shop at the shopping centre is the obvious option. Framehouse is the considered one.
The drive from Indooroopilly to Brookfield is fifteen minutes along Moggill Road through Kenmore. It's a familiar road, and the destination — a private framing studio on a quiet acreage property — is worth the short trip. When you arrive, there's ample parking, no queue, and a framer who has set aside private time for you and your artwork.
Indooroopilly households tend to have more than one certificate worth framing — a PhD earned at UQ, a medical fellowship, a professional qualification, a Year 12 award the kids have already forgotten about. Framehouse frames academic and professional credentials with conservation-grade materials — acid-free matboard, UV-filtering glass, and archival mounting — so the things that took the longest to earn are the ones best protected.
Use Virtual Framer to explore moulding and matboard combinations online, get a preliminary quote, and arrive at the studio knowing roughly where the conversation will go. It's free, requires no account, and works best on an iPad or Mac.
Conservation framing is not an upgrade at Framehouse — it's how we frame everything. Alpha-cellulose acid-free matboard, UV-filtering glass, archival reversible mounting. If a piece has value — sentimental or financial — it deserves materials that will protect it for decades. Most framed pieces fall between $180 and $650. Complex or large-format jobs are quoted individually after we've seen the work.
