ILevel Creates Family Photo Walls in NYC
Many of ILevel’s clients have just returned from fabulous holiday trips and family gatherings, and their phones are full of precious photographic memories. Our staff of professional picture hangers has been hard at work helping clients create gorgeous family photo walls showcasing these holiday treasures.
How to Hang Really Large Wall Art
There’s large wall art and then there’s really large wall art. Most large wall art can be hung with standard picture hanging hardware and a few strong friends. Giant wall art typically needs a custom solution and the help of a professional team. We recently hung this giant Jiří Georg Dokoupil painting in a New York City office building, and it required a lot more than just a hammer and nails.
Mark Your Calendar for ILevel’s Next Art Exhibit
New York art lovers: We’re excited to announce the next art exhibit we’ll be hosting in our East Village studio space, An Interior Garden of Botanical Art. The show, a joint effort by ILevel and botanical art expert Susan Frei Nathan, will feature a beautiful collection of contemporary botanical art on vellum and paper by leading artists from the US and the UK, and is timed to coincide with the American Society of Botanical Artists’ 19th Annual International at the New York Design Center.
How to Hang Pictures Securely
Last week, we covered four different wall art hanging techniques–from contemporary cable systems, to old-fashioned D-rings. But, besides choosing the correct style of picture hanging hardware for the style of your space and the type of art you’re hanging, it’s also important to choose the proper strength hardware, and the right reinforcements. Choosing picture hanging hardware in the right strength is the best way to ensure you’ll hang pictures securely.
How to Hang Art and Photos on a Mirrored or Glass Wall
Running out of room to hang your art and photos? Don’t rule out the potential extra space created by floor-to-ceiling windows and mirrored walls. While they may not be the first spot most people think to hang art in their homes, doing so can add a beautiful and unexpected element to a room. We’ve outlined three ways we hang art and photos on a mirrored or glass wall, below.
Unique Ideas for Wall Art
When people think about what to hang on their walls, they usually think in terms of one of three categories: art, mirrors or photos. While all of these things make great additions to any home, it can sometimes be fun to think outside the box about what to put on your walls.
Hanging Art in a Room With a High Ceiling
High ceilings are fabulous for so many reasons. They make a space feel expansive and open, they allow for larger windows, and–the best part–they also leave lots of room for showing off art and photos.
New York City Art and Design, According to Patrick J Hamilton
ILevel recently talked with New York-based interior designer and blogger Patrick Hamilton about his design style, what inspires him and, of course, what’s hanging on his walls.
