Why choose Nicely Hung?

Many people have collections of pictures, photographs and art they want to display, but are unsure how to hang them beautifully, securely and in the best position. This is where I can help.

As a practising artist who studied architecture, I understand form, space, order, composition and how art is experienced. Well-hung pictures and art can transform how a room looks, but also how it make you feel. Your art is a reflection of you, your story, and where you have been in life.

I bring my artist's eye and creativity to every project, and my background and experience hanging residential projects and art exhibitions ensure I can hang your pieces carefully, precisely and securely. I can advise on height, location, position and compose elegant arrangements, gallery walls and montages to show your pieces and your home at their best.   

No prior preparation is needed. I arrive with everything I need, work around your schedule, and leave your walls looking lovely.

I carry full public liability insurance. I can work in both residential and commercial properties, and engage trusted colleagues to assist on larger art and picture hanging installations. Learn more about me and my process here.

What People Are Saying

“I absolutely love what Mel did with my artwork. (I keep randomly smiling at my walls - I must look very odd… luckily it’s in the privacy of my own home.) Mel has an amazing eye and talent for spotting what will look great.

And aside from the aesthetics - I was amazed at what goes on behind the frames - her attention to detail is fantastic. Meticulous measurement, repairing where necessary (I had a few frames that had seen better days…) and securing every piece in place so it stays exactly where it’s hung - no more wobbles or sitting on a slant. Superb job - I highly recommend NicelyHung!”
