It may seem hard to believe with the weather we’ve had lately, but summer is here and whether it will bring a day trip to Blackpool or a month in Australia, there are holiday memories to be made – and preserved.

Photographs are the most common holiday mementos. They can range from breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge to snapshots of the kids gathered around Mickey at Disney World. All photos trigger memories. The key is how to display them.

Consider framing several photos together in a mount with multiple openings leaving room for a caption mount to show their ages, when the photos were taken, write a description of the day captured in the photo, or include a favourite quote that sums up the trip.

People are often amazed not only about how many different things can be framed, but also how effective the end result is. So when the holiday is over, don’t just throw all of your souvenirs in a draw, bring them down to us and let us show you what we can do, I’m sure you’ll be amazed.

Summer is a great opportunity to refresh the look of your whole home by sprucing up your old framed pictures and photographs.  Simply revamping your frames can give your room a complete lift.

People are changing the design of their homes more regularly than ever before.  They change the colour scheme, paint walls and buy new accessories, but they often don’t think to update their frames.

The correct choice of artwork and frame can add important finishing touches to the interior design of your home.  But with colours and themes going out as soon as they come in, it’s important to keep up with the latest design trends.  Some of our most cherished memories can hang on our walls, and every now and then it’s worth giving them a bit of a makeover, perhaps with a new frame or mount.

Over time frames become tarnished and natural wear and tear can take its toll on backings and even the wire we use to hang them on, so periodic cleaning and maintenance can make all the difference.
