Residential Installations:

Have you recently moved? Then your walls must be bare! Nothing makes your new space feel like “home” than seeing your artwork, mirrors, and family photos on the walls. We can assist you in finding the perfect spot for all your accessories in your new house, condo, or apartment. Avoid disagreements with your significant other about how high things should be hung by having a professional install your items for you.

Are you ready to redecorate? Or would you like a fresh look but do not have the budget for all new furniture? Let us rearrange your existing artwork and/or furniture. Whether working with new pieces or with what you already have, we can help. You may have the right thing, but just in the wrong place or hung at the wrong height. By rearranging your artwork, photos, furniture, and mirrors, we can create a whole new exciting feel to your space. One of the comments we often hear is “I would have never thought to put that there. It looks amazing!” When we hear that, then we know we’ve done our job well. 


Is it time to downsize? We assist our clients by reviewing their artwork, photos and keepsakes in their current home to get a sense of what carries the most meaning as well as what will realistically fit in their new, smaller residence. Then, we make suggestions for placement. This is a specialty of Birdhill Design. Sometimes changes in living location can be very emotional. It helps to have your favorite artwork and photos on the walls in your new residence to make that transition far more natural. Plus, it sets the stage for a whole new and exciting chapter in your life! 

Commercial Installations:

Create a productive yet uplifting work environment by displaying colorful and stimulating artwork throughout your workplace. Whether it is in an office, retail space, restaurant, hotel, college, health care facility or any public building, we will handle all of your installation needs. We also install with security mounting hardware (when needed) in public spaces.

 

Would you like a gallery in your workplace? We can turn a boring hallway or room into a gallery space. We get a kick out of the excitement employees and customers get when we arrive to install the next round of artwork for display. 


Has your business moved into a new space? We will make your lobbies, conference rooms, and employees’ personal items in each office look professional, organized and dynamic. 


Do you want to promote your business on your walls? Make a statement by showing off your client logos, images of projects, certificates and awards by having Birdhill Design create a “wall of fame”. This is a great conversation piece to have when clients or potential employees are visiting.

Exhibition Installations:

We handle all exhibition needs from artists’ gallery exhibits, local arts group shows, and museum exhibitions to lighting and pedestal design, wall labels, didactic panels, and exhibitions vinyl graphics. Kevin has 30+ years of museum preparatory experience which gives him the ability to handle almost any exhibition imaginable: outdoor sculptures, interactive displays, delicate historical relics, priceless masterpieces, and any crazy thing you can imagine. Ashley’s graphic design experience will take care of any signage and promotional material you need.


Are you an artist with an upcoming art show and need assistance with hanging, lighting, and labels? We will make the whole process run smoothly and stress-free. We are artists as well and know all the challenges and needs that arise. Whether your show is in a gallery space or a coffee shop–we will make your artwork command the room!
