Custom Picture Framing for Kenmore
Framehouse is a by-appointment framing studio in Brookfield, serving clients from Kenmore and Kenmore Hills who want an experience the shopping centre framer is unable to offer — the sounds of birdlife in the trees outside the studio, the tranquil location, with ample parking, and direct engagement with the person who will frame your piece: a framer who knows your artwork by name, takes two weeks to do the job properly, and uses conservation materials as standard.
Craft & Process
Most framing is done in volume — a job sheet passed between staff, choices made in a hurry at a counter. Framehouse works differently. Every consultation is private. Every job is handled personally, from the first conversation about moulding and matboard to the final check before the work leaves the studio. Whether you’re framing a large oil painting, a series of botanical prints, or a family photograph that has been waiting in a drawer for years — we’ll give it the time and materials it deserves. Conservation framing is available for anything that carries particular value, sentimental or otherwise. 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.
Kenmore 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.
We’re a short drive along Moggill Road — 8–10 minutes from Kenmore Village, closer still from Kenmore Hills.
Many of our regular clients are your neighbours.

Also serving
Kenmore and Kenmore Hills are home to people who've spent decades collecting — artworks brought back from travels, family photographs that have been waiting in a drawer for years, oil paintings inherited from parents or grandparents. These aren't pieces you take to the nearest shopping centre. They deserve a framer who will treat them with the same care and consideration you've given them.
Framehouse is eight minutes from Kenmore Village along Moggill Road. The drive takes you out of the shopping strip and into the acreage of Brookfield — a deliberate change of pace that reflects the approach we take to every job. When you arrive at 108 Savages Road, you're met with ample parking, the sound of birds in the trees, and a framer who has set aside time specifically for you and your artwork.
The homes in Kenmore and Kenmore Hills carry decades of collected life. We regularly work with large oil paintings, significant original works, framed collections of photographs, botanical prints and travel pieces. We also frame academic and professional credentials — Kenmore households tend to have more than one certificate worth framing: a PhD in the study, a medical fellowship, a Year 12 award. Framehouse frames these with conservation-grade materials so the things that took the longest to earn are the ones best protected.
Conservation framing is not a premium tier at Framehouse — it's how we frame everything. Alpha-cellulose acid-free matboard, UV-filtering glass, archival reversible mounting, and acid-free foam backing are used on every job as standard. This matters especially for artwork that has sentimental or financial value: a conserved piece will still look the same in thirty years. A non-conserved one often won't.
Because Framehouse operates from a home workshop rather than a retail shopfront, the pricing reflects the work and the materials — not landlord's rent, multiple staff wages, and retail overheads. Most framed pieces fall between $180 and $650. Complex or large jobs are quoted after we've seen the work. No surprises.
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 in the studio.
