Fear #1: “What if I get sick of my art?”

The Spooky Thought: You’ll frame something, then regret it in a month when your tastes change.

The Reality: Frames aren’t the final destination for the eternity of your artwork; they’re more like a stage set that can change anytime. You can swap art in and out whenever you like, and your frame can live on for years with new prints, updated family photos, or seasonal art from our Art Marketplace. Want a fall gallery wall filled with warm tones and pumpkins? Do it. Ready for snowy winter landscapes in December? Swap them in! Custom frames give you flexibility, not commitment issues.

Fear #2: “Custom framing is too expensive.”

The Spooky Thought: Only fancy galleries and museums can afford custom framing, not little ol’ me.

The Reality: Wrong-o! Gone are the days of scary expensive framing costs. You can design custom picture frames that fit your exact style and budget. At Frame It Easy, pricing is transparent (no creepy surprises at checkout), and you’re in control of every choice, from choosing your paper type, frame style, to mat color. Custom framing can actually be more affordable than repeatedly replacing cheap, mass-market frames that don’t last. “Buy cheap, buy twice.” – every dad everywhere.


Fear #3: “What if I mess up the measurements?”

The Spooky Thought: One wrong number and my whole project is doomed.

The Reality: Measuring doesn’t have to feel like a frightening flashback to math class. Our 3D frame designer walks you through the process step by step, and we cut every piece to your exact specifications. Follow the video below, and we will show you just how to get the perfect measurement.

🔥 Pro tip: If you’re printing your art through us, you don’t even need to measure at all. Now that’s magic.

Fear #4: “Custom framing is complicated.”

The Spooky Thought: Too many styles, mats, and colors = total decision paralysis.

The Reality: Think of framing like picking your Halloween costume. Give it a mix and match until you find a look you love. Our 3D Frame Designer shows you exactly what your art will look like in different styles, so you can play around until it feels just right. And if you’d rather skip the guesswork, we’ve got tons of articles and inspiration for gallery walls, seasonal decorating, and even matting tricks to make your art pop.

The Spooky Thought: You’ll end up with a frame that feels more trick than treat.

We truly have something for every home decor style. Plus, adding a matboard (or two!) lets you tie your art into your room’s color scheme. Frames aren’t just for art; they’re a design element, too. Treat them like a wall accessory that will enhance your entire space.
