Can you install artworks in a new home or after a move?
Yes, our service is perfect for new homeowners or anyone relocating. We can help you plan and install artwork across your entire home, including creating gallery walls or hanging multiple pieces in themed arrangements.
How should I prepare for installation?
Before your appointment, consider the general areas where you'd like your artwork to be displayed. Where possible place each artwork in the room that it is to be hung. Advise if you have any pieces to be installed in difficult locations such as stairwells or voids - these installations may require a site assessment before going ahead, please call us if you are uncertain.
Do you install in commercial or office spaces?
Yes, we work with both residential and commercial clients. Whether it’s a corporate office, retail space, or gallery wall in a café, we offer tailored installation services to elevate any environment.
How high should I hang my pictures?
A good rule of thumb is to hang artwork so the centre of the piece is around 145–150cm from the floor, which is average eye level. In living areas or above furniture like sofas or sideboards, aim for 10–20cm above the top edge of the furniture for visual balance.
Can I group multiple pictures together?
Yes! Grouping pictures can create a stunning gallery wall or tell a visual story. Try to keep the spacing between frames even—typically 5–10cm works well. Lay the arrangement out on the floor first or use paper cutouts to test positions on the wall before committing.
Is it okay to hang artwork in a bathroom or wet area?
You can hang artwork in bathrooms, but choose materials wisely. Avoid moisture-sensitive prints. We recommend prints on metal or canvas for long-term durability in humid spaces. This is definately not the space to hang your Van Gogh original.
What’s the best placement for large or statement artworks?
Large artworks work beautifully as focal points—above fireplaces, beds, or console tables. Make sure the scale matches the space: it should take up at least two-thirds of the wall or furniture width to feel balanced. Centre it horizontally and anchor it visually to surrounding elements.
Can I hang artwork near an air conditioning unit?
It’s best to avoid placing art directly in the path of airflow or condensation from air conditioning units. Fluctuations in temperature and humidity can warp frames and damage paper or canvas over time. If you want artwork nearby, chat to us about creating a decorator artwork for the space - something that hasn't got significant monetary or sentimental value.
Is it safe to hang artwork above a fireplace?
Yes, but with care. Heat and smoke can damage art, so ensure the wall doesn’t get too warm to touch when the fireplace is in use. We recommend using heat-resistant materials, sealing the frame, and avoiding delicate mediums like pastels, large format photo prints or canvas if the area gets hot or dry.
Can I hang art on brick, concrete or tiled walls?
Yes. These surfaces require specialised fixings such as masonry plugs or adhesive-based systems. Our installer comes prepared with hardware suited to most wall types and will ensure secure installation.
