Have some plates that are too beautiful to use? Hang them on your walls instead! We’ll show you how we created this wall of decorative plates.
Recent Art Installations: A Tilted Mirror, A Bathroom Gallery Wall & Art Above the Bed
We’re lucky in that, in our line of work, no two days have literally ever been quite the same. Sure, most days involve hanging and arranging art, but one day, we may be installing fine art in a Manhattan apartment, the next, we might be out in the Hamptons hanging a family photo wall or down in Chelsea setting up an art gallery installation.
ILevel at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House 2017
Each year we look forward to the Kips Bay Decorator show house for a number of reasons. First, of course, because it brings together some of the world’s foremost interior design talent to show off their skills under one roof, and all for the worthy cause of supporting the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club.
Beautiful examples of Art Above the Fireplace
If there’s a fireplace in a room, then there’s a good chance it’s also the focal point of the space: the feature around which you plan the room’s layout and orient your furniture.
A Whimsical Girl’s Room Design
Children’s rooms are places of comfort and rest, but also of imagination and play. While it can be tough to decorate a space that perfectly encapsulates and promotes each of these uses, we recently worked on a bedroom design that did just that. This beautiful girl’s room design was soft and light, fun and restful all at once.
Where to Find Art in New York City this Fall
Summer is coming to a close, and as hard as it is to top weekends spent at the farmer’s markets of Brooklyn, the beaches of Long Island or the mountains of the Berkshires, one of the greatest things about New York City is that there is plenty to do that doesn’t require beautiful weather.
Hanging Art on a Picture Rail
Last week, we talked about one of the most persistent wall-art arranging trends we’ve seen in the last few years: the gallery wall. But this week, we’re going to focus on an emerging technique we’re seeing more and more. It’s similar to the gallery wall in that multiple pictures are displayed, but the approach is fresh: we’re talking about hanging art on a picture rail.
5 Fall Art and Design Events to Look Forward To in NYC
They say August is the Sunday of summer, which means that fall is beginning to creep around the corner…and we’re excited about it! As much as we love summer, fall in New York City is one of the best and most beautiful times of year. The weather is slightly cooler, but still warm enough to enjoy being outside, the trees in Central Park begin to change, and there are a host of great happenings and events to look forward to.
Beach House Wall Art Ideas from the ILevel Archives
Summer is one of our favorite times here at ILevel, because we’re often called out of the city to install artwork and photos in beach houses and lakeside retreats around the New York area. Not only do these projects make for beautiful surroundings (and a scenic commute), but the style of the homes and artwork we’re installing are often much different than the urban city spaces we work in most often.
What to Hang Above a Fireplace
No matter what room of the house it’s in, a fireplace becomes the natural focal point of any space. Furniture is often oriented around it, and the mantle is typically one of the most prominent architectural details in a room.
3 Important Tips for Hanging Art on a Stairway
Stairways are one of the greatest spots in a home to hang art. They offer plenty of wall space, and creative freedom in spades, since there’s no need to consider furniture placement, or color scheme, or whether or not the pieces you choose to hang will compete with the window curtains or sofa fabric.
Hanging Mirrors Outdoors
We recently completed a project in one of the prettiest settings we’ve worked in this year: atop a gorgeous roofdeck on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The garden was truly an urban oasis–the stuff of any New Yorker’s dreams.
Art Rules For Small Spaces
Since we’re based in New York City, where a “large” apartment is considered anything with more than one bedroom or over 700 square feet, we’re very familiar with working in tight quarters: Studios, loft spaces, converted co-ops, we’ve arranged art in them all.
ILevel at the Architectural Digest Home Show
Out of all the interiors markets and trade shows that take place each year (especially in New York City), the Architectural Digest Home Show has always been our favorite.
ILevel Art Installations Art In the Press
It’s been a great year for ILevel, and we’re ending 2013, and starting 2014, with a bang. Recently a few of our art installations have appeared in some of our favorite magazines: Elle Décor, New York Spaces and House Beautiful.
