Art Installation for Interior Designers and Architects: A Trade Guide from ILevel

The final touches on a project are what your clients will see every day. 

Art installation for interior designers is about more than hanging things on walls. It’s the family photos, the proud moments, the personalpieces your client either brought to the design process or built their room around. 

It’s the first thing they see every morning, and the last thing they see at night. That’s why the composition and installation have to be perfect. And that’s the standard ILevel has set since 1990.

The Moments Designers Need Us

  • Install Day at the end of a Project
    • Everything placed, level, and lit in one visit before the reveal. The finishing move on months of work.
  • Gallery Walls and Salon-Style Installations
    • Dozens of pieces, one composition. We’ve installed salon walls of a hundred works and more. Read how we approach Gallery Walls
  • Oversized, Heavy, and Fragile Pieces
    • Mirrors, marble, cast bronze, six-foot canvases. If it’s heavy or delicate, it’s ours. More on heavy art installation.
  • Staging Before the Photo Shoot
    • Level, centered, and composed for the portfolio. Your photographer will thank you.
  • Rehangs After a Renovation or Repaint
    • Everything comes down, everything goes back up perfectly. Same compositions or new ones.
  • The Client Who’s Moving
    • Their collection lands in the new home like it always lived there.
  • Composition Consults
    • Forty pieces, one wall, and a client with opinions. We’re a second set of trained eyes on the arrangement.
  • Family Photo Walls
    • Collected, not cluttered. The most personal installations we do.

What Sets a White-Glove Installer Apart

  • A trained artistic eye. Every ILevel installer has a fine arts background. We see walls as compositions, not surfaces.
  • Range. Large paintings, heavy mirrors, sculpture, and three-dimensional work, on drywall, plaster, brick, concrete, and specialty surfaces.
  • Professional fluency. More than thirty years collaborating with New York’s leading designers and architects.
  • The right temperament. Punctual, tidy, discreet, and calm under pressure. We treat every piece like a masterpiece and every space like a museum.
