This has been done before....Siglap across from MacDonald's, don't remember the name of the place. Further down from the same MacDonald's, same side, 2 bus stops and you'll see it near the corner. FYI--These are all on East Coast Road.

Framing pictures/paintings in Singapore

Post by Mercutio » Mon, 07 Apr 2014 10:54 am

I couldn't find any recent entries in the forum, so I was wondering if anyone could help. I'm looking for a decently-priced place where I frame pictures and posters. I went to Bras Basah Complex, which was a complete failure. There I could only find places that do quite traditional Chinese framing. I'm looking for a more simple, modern style. Any recommendations?

I usually go to this place in Little India. Its a really small shop that doesn't look too pretty, but they do the job. I always assume that they don't over-charge since its not a fancy shop but i recently stretched two paintings for $48 each (about 1 meter by 1 meter).

You can PM me if you want the name. Or you can google "Framing Little India" and it should pop up.

To get there early is on time and showing up on time is late

Yup, thats the one I go. Anyone used them recently? I am just curious if the quoted price is "expat" prices after looking at both of us. The only other place I know is in Ngee Ann City, 4th floor (I think), outside Art Friend. That shop looks pricey and it will probably cost an arm and a leg to stretch 2 paintings.

price sounds alright i think 50$ for a frame, but I could offer my verbal services in chaste Tamil, but that would be another 50$ :cool:

There used to be at least 3 shops in Holland Village doing the framing but I don't know whether they are still there and don't remember how expensive were their services.

I saw a shop at Blok 468 North Bridge Road, seems pretty reasonable, but not sure if they will charge the "expat" price.
