ILevel was proud to be the official art installation partner for Art House 2025, a Bailey House/Housing Works event to raise funds for housing and healthcare for New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS and other conditions.
The Power of Negative Space in Art Installation
Sometimes what’s not there can be as powerful as what is. ILevel collaborates closely with clients to ensure that negative space is not an afterthought but a core design element.
Manhattan Art Hanger Brings Nature Inside
The trend in nurturing house plants has spilled over to our walls. See how ILevel helps bring the natural world inside through art installation.
Before and After Photos from Recent ILevel Projects
Why are before and after photos so satisfying? Maybe it’s because we like to see order emerging from chaos, or we enjoy looking at the results of a job well done. ILevel project sites are busy places, and while we always get the shot of the finished project, we don’t always capture the scene before the ILevel art installers work their magic.
Hanging Art in a Perfect Circle
As professional art installers, hanging complicated wall art is actually a lot of fun for us. It presents a challenge outside of the everyday, and it’s exciting to come up with a solution that works, and have a satisfied client at the end of it all.
Creating an Art Gallery on a Brick Wall
A brick wall is a unique accent that instantly adds character to a home — but it can also present challenges when it comes to decorating. Hanging wall art and photos on brick is not as easy as simply nailing a picture hanger into a stud or screwing an anchor into some drywall. It takes a little bit more planning and effort to display art on a masonry surface like brick, plaster, or concrete … but it can be done.
Retail Store Decor: A New York City Dog Salon
We’ve talked before about the importance of choosing the right art for a retail store design. The pictures on the walls in any shop not only reinforce its brand and inform its overall atmosphere, but can affect the way customers feel about their experience from the moment they walk in.
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.
Project Spotlight: ILevel’s Art Hanging Tips for One King’s Lane
This is a really fun project to share. A few months ago, we were called upon by a client and wonderful interior designer, Elizabeth Pyne, to assist with hanging art for a story she was involved in for the home decor e-tailer (and one of our favorite decor resources!), One King’s Lane.
Hamptons Destination: Parrish Art Museum
Besides beautiful beaches, famers markets, people watching and a total change of scenery, one of the Hamptons’ many draws is its art scene. Scattered among the Soho restaurant outposts and seasonal pop-up shops lie a plethora of art galleries and museums that can hold their own on a global scale. Perhaps the most famous–and most frequented– is the Parrish Art Museum.
ILevel Art Installation Project In Architectural Digest
We recently spotted an Instagram post from Architectural Digest that we recognized: A gallery wall we hung for interior designer Nick Olson in a Brooklyn town home. The photo had more than 3,000 likes, so we decided we’d share a little more of the project here.
10 Wall Art Ideas for In Between Spaces
Just because an area of your home isn’t technically a “room” doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be decorated to the nines. In fact, sometimes it’s the “in-between” spaces that are the most fun to design. The hallways, staircases and entryways in our homes offer micro-climates for testing out big design ideas, especially when it comes to what’s hanging on the walls.
3 New York City Art Exhibits We Can’t Wait to See
As art-lovers living in Manhattan, we sometimes feel like kids in a candy shop. At any given time there are dozens of art shows and exhibits we’re hoping to check out. Right now, there are three New York City art exhibits that are on our must-see list.
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.
Recent Art Installation Featured in New York Social Diary
One of the greatest things about working at ILevel is that we often get to collaborate with some of the best interior designers in New York City. When it comes time for an art installation in a client’s home, they want to make sure the pieces are arranged in a way that make sense visually, that they’re hung evenly and securely, and that the art is properly lit, so they give us a call to ensure the project is done right.
