You’re choosing to buy sustainable, recycled timber photo frames and mirrors, supporting small local businesses and keeping traditional craftsmanship alive. Every time you order a handmade Wombat Frame, you’re helping real people make beautiful things with care — one at a time, right here in Australia.

Give the Gift of Choice This Christmas – Wombat Frames Gift Vouchers Are Here! 0

 

Christmas shopping can be tricky, can’t it? You want to give something thoughtful, handmade, and Australian — but sometimes it’s hard to pick exactly what someone will love. That’s where our Wombat Frames Gift Vouchers can be just what you’re after.

A gift voucher is the perfect way to let your loved ones choose the frame that is just exactly what they’re after. Maybe it’s for that treasured family photo, a beautiful artwork, or that special memory waiting to be framed — with a Gift Voucher, they can pick the size, timber, and style that suits them best.

 

Our recycled Australian timber frames are made by hand, one at a time, right here in our bush workshop. Every frame is unique — crafted from character-filled timbers like red gum and brown gum that have already lived a life or two. They’re sustainable, beautifully rustic but not rough, and made to last for generations.

We’ve even tested that durability a little more than we meant to…

One day, Simon accidentally drove a trailer over a frame (not a recommended test, mind you), and the frame survived without a scratch! That’s solid Aussie craftsmanship for you — built tough but made with love.

 

Our customers often tell us how much they adore their Wombat Frames — not just because they’re beautiful, but because they’re part of a bigger story: sustainability, Australian-made quality, and care that you just don’t get in mass-produced items.

 

So, this Christmas, if you’re short on time or just want to give a gift that lets someone special choose something truly unique, a Wombat Frames Gift Voucher is the way to go. It’s thoughtful, sustainable, and always fits perfectly under the tree. 🌿

How an Awsome Mirror was created out of small left over pieces of Recycled Timber 0

A solid mirror frame was made using recycled Oregon timbers from the wall studs salvaged from a house near Chatswood in Sydney. Then; the creative part!  Almost like a jigsaw,  small off-cuts were collected. These were then smothered in glue and nailed in position with small adjustments to fit.

Essential Tips to Choose the Right Frames 0

Large White multi picture photo frames Recycled Timber Australia

Large recycled red-gum Timber multi opening collage frames made in Australia Decorating a house beautifully demands a lot of attention to detail. Yet the most beautiful paintings, prints and even mirrors will detract from the overall look if wrong frames are used. If you choose correctly, you will add value and enjoyment for years. Nobody knows your home better than you. Consider the furniture, wall colour, door frames, window frames and other architectural details before selecting a good frame. Determine which colours dominate your home. Try to choose family picture frames and other frames of the same hue. You can also try using a complimentary colour to make your artwork stand out from others. Instead of using the same styles of frames for your photographs or artwork, consider using different styles. You can try white picture frames or consider multi opening picture frames. Natural timber and recycled materials have been popular for years and are not a passing phase. Frames made of recycled timber may be an excellent choice as they add value to your home. If you wish to buy multi photo frames Australia, we can help you. Good quality framing is worthwhile and an excellent investment in your home’s decor, but it can also be fairly costly.

Why Digital Photo Frames Can’t Beat Traditional Frames 0

Digital cameras have revolutionized photography. The versatile devices have made photography easier than ever before. Digital photo frames are very popular and can hold hundreds of pictures displayed in the form of slide shows. They are amazing but certainly have not replaced old-fashioned wooden photo frames or metal picture frames. One of the biggest limitations of digital photo frames is that they cannot run without electricity. Without power, it is just a blank screen gadget. The other option is to rely on batteries to run them. Although you can use rechargeable batteries, you will need to frequently change out the batteries and recharge them. Other digital drawbacks include the cost. They are expensive. Low cost digital frames display low quality pictures and so, you may not like to buy them. On the contrary, you can invest in high quality timber photo frames and enjoy high quality photos, uninterrupted. A digital photo frame cannot replace the visual and tactile joy in paging through a photo album or looking at a collage photo frame. Digital frames do have their place, but cannot replace traditional photo frames such as white picture frames or timber photo frames. A printed photo in an attractive frame which is basically zero maintenance because you can simply mount, frame and hang the picture – and then leave it alone. There are a wide variety of cool picture frames available today. So, you’ll not need to restrict your choices to get your desired photo frame.
