Why Custom Framing Makes All the Difference
If you’ve ever picked up a beautiful print or inherited a cherished photograph, you know that presentation matters. At Tanglewood Art & Frame Gallery in Clemmons, North Carolina, custom framing isn’t just about putting glass over a piece of art—it’s about protecting memories, elevating decor, and creating something unique to you.
What is Custom Framing?
Custom framing goes beyond the off-the-shelf frames you find at big-box stores. When you walk into our shop at 4152 Clemmons Road, you’re greeted by hundreds of frame moldings, dozens of mats, and a selection of specialty glass and preservation materials. Tanglewood Art and Frame Our team works with pieces as small as miniatures and as large as ten-foot paintings—plus anything in between. Tanglewood Art and Frame
Because we offer over 3000 molding choices and more than ten glazing options, we can fine-tune the balance between aesthetics and preservation. Tanglewood Art and Frame
Benefits Beyond Beauty
- Protection & Longevity
A custom-framed piece protects from dust, moisture, sunlight, and pollutants. Archival mats and UV-filtering glass reduce fading and deterioration. Your art or photo will last longer—and stay looking better. - Exact Fit & Tailored Style
Off-the-shelf frames may not fit perfectly. Custom framing ensures the piece is properly supported and displayed without awkward gaps or poorly matched molding. You get a cohesive look that works with your wall colors, décor style, and the piece itself. - Add Value & Personal Meaning
Whether you’re displaying family heirlooms, diplomas, awards, or original artwork, a quality frame gives respect to the piece. It can transform something ordinary into a showpiece and increase its visual and sentimental value. - Preservation of Memory
Special items like milestone certificates, children’s art, or memorabilia deserve to be preserved thoughtfully. Custom framing at Tanglewood Art & Frame makes sure those items don’t just sit in storage boxes—but live on your walls.

Choosing the Right Frame for You
- Style & Décor Compatibility: Do you want modern minimalism? Classic wood tones? Something ornate? Choose molding that complements both your piece and your interior.
- Glazing Options: Standard glass, UV-filtering glass, non-glare finishes, or conservation-grade glazing depending on exposure to light or value of the piece.
- Matting: Mats help draw your eye in, provide spacing, and protect the edge of paper or fiber media. The right mat color or texture can turn ordinary into extraordinary.
- Preservation: Acid-free mats, backing boards, proper sealing, and considerations for humidity can all help preserve your piece long term.
