What Can Custom Framing Do for Your Bottom Line?
If you don’t consider custom framing, you’re cutting out a series of decisions from your scope of work. Those decisions are now on your client’s plate instead of your own.
Not only does this result in potential anxiety for your client, but it means lost hours for you—hours that can be spent in consultation with a framer.
It’s the same kind of consultation you would have choosing furniture, it takes time, taste, and planning, and it’s as much a part of your final design as anything else in the room — without a frame plan, you’re leaving money on the table.
Add a frame plan to your design scope, upcharge your client, and then let the framer take on the work.
What can it do for your design?
Not only is there a financial benefit to integrating custom framing into your checklist but look at it from a creative perspective. By neglecting framing, you’re leaving design opportunities on the table too.
If your client is already paying for an interior designer, chances are they’re not paying to take on a share of the important decisions. They may want their own input, but generally, they’re looking for a deliverable, final product to be handed over to them.
They want you to be making the design decisions – not them – and definitely not a big-box store. Clients come to designers for unique, personalized, cutting-edge design, why would you sacrifice an opportunity to deliver? or even just to explore an often overlooked medium of interior design?
