Frequently asked questions
Q1. Do I need to have the artwork already?
Not necessary. Many clients come to us before they have a piece in mind. We explore your taste, propose options, and if needed commission work that suits your space. From there, we handle framing and installation to bring it all together.
Q2. Can you source artwork for me?
Yes. We can source artwork or photography from our network of galleries and artists to suit your space. If the right piece does not exist, we can commission a custom work designed to harmonise with your interiors.
Q3. Do you work with local artists?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with local artists, supporting the creative community while giving our clients access to unique and often exclusive works. This approach delivers pieces with character and meaning while also strengthening the local industry.
Q4. Can you commission custom pieces?
Yes. Commissioned work is a core part of what we do. We can collaborate with your chosen artist or recommend one from our network to create a piece tailored to your space. Size, scale, colour and framing can all be customised to ensure the result works seamlessly with your interiors.
Q5: Do you only work with residential or commercial clients?
We work with both residential and commercial clients, with projects ranging from private homes to major brands such as P&O, Princess Cruises, Camilla, TOGA and more.
Q6. What types of spaces do you work on?
Any space can be elevated with the right art and framing. We work across private homes, holiday residences, restaurants, offices and hotels. Our approach is to shape each environment so the art not only looks right but also enhances the overall interior design and atmosphere of the space.
Q7. Can you work with my existing art collection?
Yes, definitely. Many of our returning clients ask us to build around the pieces they already love. We can integrate your existing collection with new works and also reframe key pieces to give them a more contemporary look or to ensure they feel cohesive in a new space.
Q8: Can you update or replace old frames?
Yes, definitely. Custom reframing is one of our most requested services. Our skilled craftspeople work with the finest local and international suppliers to create the right frame, mat and glazing for each piece. This ensures every artwork not only looks refreshed but is preserved with quality materials for years to come.
Q9. How involved do I need to be in the process?
You can be as involved as you like. Some clients enjoy shaping every detail, while others prefer us to manage everything. After the initial consultation, we provide visual concepts and options for you to consider. From that point, we can communicate in the way that suits you best, whether in person, by phone, email or other channels, to keep the process smooth.
Q10. What if I don’t know what kind of art suits my space?
This is very common, and it is part of our role. Many clients are unsure what style or piece will feel right in their space. We help by presenting options, creating visuals, and even commissioning pieces if the right one does not exist. Our experience with hundreds of projects means we know how to elevate a room with art and mirrors, and we often partner with designers and architects to add that finishing touch.
Q11. Do you provide advice on placement and styling?
Yes. Art placement is an important part of our service and central to how a room feels. We consider the interior design of the space so that each piece not only looks right but enhances the overall balance and atmosphere. To achieve this, we collaborate with trusted couriers and installers to ensure your artwork is positioned securely, correctly, and in a way that makes the most of its surroundings.
Q12: Do you manage the whole process from start to finish?
Yes. We manage the entire process from concept and design through sourcing, printing or commissioning, framing, delivery and final installation. This ensures every stage is seamless and you only need to deal with one trusted partner.
Q13. How long does the process take?
Timeframes vary depending on the project. A simple reframe can be completed in a few weeks, while large commercial projects may take several months due to approvals and stakeholders. Many clients also work with us over a longer period, adding pieces and enhancing their spaces step by step as their collection grows.
Q14: What affects the project timeline?
Several factors can influence the timeline. Project sign-offs and revisions often take the most time, as they affect when work can progress. Material availability can also make a difference, since certain frames or finishes may have longer lead times. When this happens, we provide alternative options or adjust the delivery schedule based on your preference.
Q15: What budgets do you work with?
We work with a wide range of budgets, from residential projects to large commercial briefs. Every project is customised, and we always use quality materials that match the standard of our work. While we are not suited to quick or low-cost poster framing, we provide tailored solutions that balance design, craftsmanship and value for both private and corporate clients.
Q16: Can you work to a set budget?
Yes. We are experienced in working to set budgets, particularly for commercial and trade projects. We tailor our recommendations and material selections to meet the brief while ensuring quality and design integrity are maintained.
Q17: Do you provide quotes before starting?
Yes. We provide detailed quotes before any work begins, outlining the concept, framing, installation and other project elements. This transparency ensures you have complete clarity on costs at every stage, giving you confidence and trust in the process.
Q18: Do you work only in Sydney or interstate as well?
We are based in Sydney but also work interstate and internationally. Our team has delivered projects across Australia and abroad, ensuring the same level of care, coordination and quality wherever your space may be.
Q19: Do you ship artwork or frames?
Yes. We organise the transport and shipping of artworks and frames, making sure each piece is handled with care and arrives safely wherever it needs to go.
Q20: Do you collaborate with interior designers or architects?
Yes. We often collaborate with interior designers and architects, starting as early as the design and build stage. This ensures that the structural features and interiors work seamlessly with the art and mirrors, creating a cohesive and intentional result.
Q21: Can you help with other areas of interior design in my home?
Yes. While our focus is on art and mirrors, we also support complementary areas of interior design such as lighting, wall coverings and furniture selection. This ensures that your artwork is enhanced by the surrounding interiors. Our team includes interior designers and an interior architect who can partner with you to create a cohesive and well-finished space.
Q22: What makes Becker Creative different from a gallery or framer?
Becker Creative is more than a gallery or framer. We are a full-service art and design studio that manages every stage of the process, from sourcing and commissioning to printing, framing, delivery and installation. What sets us apart is the way we partner with clients so that art and mirrors not only fit a space but also elevate it, creating environments that feel complete and personal.
