Thinking About Gifts For You And Yours?
As the days grow shorter and the air becomes crisp, there's a palpable excitement in the air. The holiday season is just around the corner, beckoning us to immerse ourselves in warmth, love, and a touch of sparkle. And what better way to embrace the festive spirit than by indulging ourselves and our loved ones with a thoughtful gift? Whether it's a beautifully adorned picture frame to capture cherished memories, a handcrafted piece of artwork, or perhaps a combination of both, the possibilities are endless at Romsey Picture Framing.
Spring Is About To Spring
With Mothers Day not far away, it marks the start of a seasonal time of year much loved by all. When Spring arrives and we emerge from the cold dark days of winter (Let’s be honest, Autumn and Winter of 2022/2023 has been a both a wet and cold affair!), the Sun comes out, the birds sing, the inspects start to buzz and along with the sap in trees rising, our spirits do also. It’s a colourful and magical time of year when nature comes back to life and we experience those lovely spring flowers bursting through!
Fanatical About Film Art
The Christmas period often brings with it some very different items that need picture framing. It’s wonderful to celebrate and show-off our “fandom” and a well chosen picture frame, layout and mount design can really make those precious photo’s, pictures and fan artefacts really stand out. Much like their subject matter they become a piece worth celebrating, displaying and talking about with others.
Not just simply promotional posters (although we have done some wonderful examples of these) - Recently we had the pleasure of framing a couple of TV / Film (and book!) related fan art pieces.
Bowled Over by our Picture Framing!
As well as being lucky enough to frame some extraordinary and beautiful photo’s, pictures and artworks for our personal customers, we also help realise framing solutions for some corporate and business clients also. We recently completed a couple of business related projects that we thought you’d like to read about. One a complicated memorabilia challenge, the other mount cut and layout one.
One Word… “Christmas”

70 Amazing Years
In 2022, Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of service.
We will be closing the shop and celebrating Her Majesty’s historic reign over the Platinum Jubilee Central Weekend from 2nd to 6th June.
Forgotten Treasures
Staying positive is so important for all of us as we navigate life. The framing of pictures, art and mementos that mean something special to the owner can really help. When we speak to people, time and again we hear phrases like “Yeah, I’ve been meaning to get this framed for years…” and “I’ve had this photo on display in a closed draw for far too long”.
Seeing your own art, photos, prints, posters, pictures or memorabilia expertly framed and displayed to their best can help enhance those happy recollections.
How to show a Generation of Love and Good Memories
Whilst every picture, photo, painting or artwork we get is of course special. Every now and again, we get the chance to present and frame something very special. In this particular news item we would like to share with you a recent project we undertook. It involved a couple of rings handed down to our customer from their mother.
Keeping the High Street Alive
One of the things we truly love about running these businesses is the positive contribution we can make to the livelihood and well being of our town centres.
New Horizons
It’s October 2021 and it’s not without a little trepidation that we decided to take on a couple of well know local independent framing businesses and save them from immanent closure.
