When most people think of custom framing, they imagine placing pictures and paintings. However, other items can stand out when surrounded by a beautiful frame, creating a unique look and style for your home. Here are a few fun suggestions to consider if you're searching for ways to liven up your decor. 

What Pieces Can Be Custom Framed?

1. Maps

Add framed maps to offices, studies, and dens to create an air of sophistication and worldliness to a home. A map not only makes for an intriguing focal point but can also have sentimental value depending on the one you choose. Add a map of your hometown to remind you of your friends and family or reminisce about a destination you visited with your spouse.

2. Textiles

Whether it's a tapestry or a piece of clothing, textiles can be attractive and personal features on your wall. Customize your decor by framing a fabric that shows your personality, like your favorite sports jersey. Many parents like to save their children's baby clothes to display throughout the home. Framed baby clothes also make a great gift for adult children who have kids of their own.

3. Dried Flowers

Flowers may not last forever, but that doesn't mean you can't keep a memento of them. The ones from special occasions, like a wedding, can be dried as a keepsake. Instead of placing them in a glass jar, frame them to exhibit to guests at your home.

4. Book & Magazine Covers

Book and magazine covers may have sentimental value, but they can also be a stylistic choice. Use vintage magazine covers to create a whimsical look or comic book covers for a fun and colorful vibe. Choose a frame that matches that cover's color scheme when custom framing for a unified design.
