We are privately owned and totally independent.

Bring your home to life with the right placement and lighting of the most treasured works in your collection.

We provide tailored support to perfectly suit every client's need. No request is too big, no challenge too great.

The correct positioning of an artwork in its surrounding is fundamental to creating the perfect balance and harmony in a space. Hanging your artwork is just as important as lighting it, and requires both knowledge and skill. The Fine Art Lighting team will draw on its decades of experience to get the positioning just right every time. We understand how to position a work of art both to display its full potential and enhance its surroundings.

Entirely professional, we use the most appropriate traditional modes of hanging. We never use picture wire. All pictures are hung securely on two fixed points ensuring the pictures never move, even when dusted without moving the frame.

We have extensive experience in arranging works of different shapes and sizes into beautiful montages, or in finding the right arrangement of individual works in challenging spaces, our focus always being to create a seamless and visually pleasing overall effect, while still drawing your eye to the beauty of each individual piece.

The transformative power of lighting a work of art cannot be overestimated. From still life to portraiture, lighting brings a work of art to life, adding tone and depth to a piece, no matter what the subject is. Colours start to glow, new details can be seen, and the picture comes alive. In our opinion, the best way to illuminate a room is with a combination of both picture lights and table lights, creating smooth, indirect sources that are more comfortable to the eye.

Have you ever noticed when you have bought a painting or a drawing and taken it home and been disappointed that it looked better when you saw it in the gallery? Chances are that is because it was lit professionally in the gallery to make it look as attractive as possible to potential buyers such as yourself. Why not do the same in your own home?

With more than 30-years of experience working with fine art across the residential and commercial markets we are perfectly placed to advise you on the maintenance and restoration of your collection.

Furthermore, we have an extensive network of highly skilled specialists in particular fields, including framing and conservation. You can rely on us to understand your requirements, provide impartial, sound advice, and to help ensure the right approach is taken, no matter how challenging your needs or requirements.

We advise that you plan your lighting as early in your redevelopment or improvement project as possible, ideally before you decorate. We provide a free advisory service to explain where lighting points should be so they can be pre-wired and hidden behind the plaster for use when required. We will provide a map of these hidden lighting points so you can add picture lighting at any time in the future.
