The Art of Collaboration – Picture Hanging Meets Interior Design in Notting Hill
Gallery wall art installation by Gilbert Art Services
Project: Residential Picture Hanging of Private Collection
Location: Notting Hill, West London
Timeline: 2024 – 2026 (Ongoing)
Lead Designer: Alice Crawley Interiors
Core Focus: Professional artwork and mirror installation.
At Gilbert Art Services, we believe the best results are achieved through continuity. This two-year picture hanging project in Notting Hill serves as another example of our collaborative approach to working: as a long-term technical partner to Interior Designers.
Working alongside Alice Crawley Interiors, we have been an integral part of the project’s lifecycle for over 24 months. This ongoing collaboration allows us to deeply understand the designer’s aesthetic language and the specific structural nuances of the property, ensuring that every new acquisition is integrated seamlessly as the home evolves.
Expertise in Evolving Collections
High-end residential projects require experience and expertise. As Alice Crawley curated the spaces, our team provided the technical know-how and a range of specialist skills required to handle a diverse range of works over multiple phases:
Internal Refinement: From the initial hanging of heavy, statement mirrors to the precise placement of fine art and photography, we maintained a consistency and installation standard across the entire property.
Structural Knowledge: We have developed an expert understanding of the wall constructions throughout period properties, allowing us to specify the most secure and discreet fixings for every piece.
Exterior Innovation: Design Indoors & Out
A key highlight of this partnership was the installation mirrors in the garden. Working with Alice to extend the indoor feel to the exterior, we managed the technical placement of:
Large-Scale Outdoor Mirrors: Positioned to enhance natural light and depth, using non-corrosive, weather-rated hardware.
Sculptural Placements: Ensuring sculptures were perfectly leveled on custom plinths to create striking sightlines from within the home.
