Art Installation in a Bespoke Clapham Townhouse

Client: Alice Crawley Interiors

Project Type: Installation

Spaces: Entrance, reception rooms, hallways, bedrooms, bathrooms, Kitchen.

Interiors: Alice Crawley

Completion: November 2025

When a Victorian Clapham Townhouse undergoes a complete make over by the interior designer Alice Crawley, the art requires a touch as sophisticated as the architecture itself. For this project, Gilbert Art Services was brought in to provide the museum-standard precision that high-end residential spaces demand.

The Vision: Alice Crawley x Gilbert Art Services

Alice Crawley is known for creating spaces that feel both deeply personal and impeccably polished. In this Clapham project, the challenge was to integrate a diverse collection of contemporary art and heritage mirrors into a home defined by elegant proportions, refined textures and snazzy wallpapers.

As a specialist picture hanging company in London, our role was to translate Alice’s design narrative into perfectly placed compositions and alignment.

Why Specialist Picture Hanging Matters in Clapham Homes

Clapham is home to some of London's most beautiful Victorian and Georgian architecture. However, these period properties present unique challenges for art installation. At Gilbert Art Services, we bring our background in fine art and eye for detail to every residential street in SW4.

Our installation at the Clapham townhouse required:

Absolute Accuracy: Millimeter-perfect alignment for gallery walls and symmetrical pairings.
Specialist Fixings: Using conservation-grade hardware to secure heavy mirrors and large-scale canvases into period lathe and plater walls.
Structural Integrity: Ensuring that even the most delicate contemporary prints are hung with long-term safety in mind.
White-Glove Care: A zero-mess guarantee that respects the pristine interiors and bespoke finishes of a newly designed home.

From The Conception to the Installation

Working alongside Alice Crawley, we considered every sightline. We didn’t just look for a stud in the wall; we looked at:

Spatial Flow: How the artwork directs the eye as you move from the hallway to the living spaces.
The Lighting Narrative: How the home’s natural and architectural lighting interacts with glass and canvas.
The Balance: Ensuring the art complements, rather than competes with, the bespoke furniture and color palettes.
