The use of custom mirrors in interior design and art schemes
Mirrors can add light and shade to a space, increase the appearance scale and reflect important elements of both the exterior and interior of the space.
Custom mirrors play a huge role in the projects that I curate. Mirrors can add light and shade to a space, increase the appearance scale and reflect important elements of both the exterior and interior of the space.
I consider mirrors as important as art if used correctly. I will often have clients that are keen to completely fill their space with art, and whilst I’m a huge fan of maximalism when it comes to art, restraint is equally as important.
Hero pieces need to shine and complementary pieces can be incorporated perfectly when mirror shapes and positions are used to enhance the pieces and link them in an aesthetically pleasing way.
How is it working with an art consultant as an interior designer?
It’s always very hard to explain, so I’ll let one of them explain in their own words!
I am an interior designer and Jo is my art and framing superstar. I bring her on to my furnishing projects to help ensure the selections, sizing and framing of the art that’s going in the space is absolutely spot on (and also withstands the test of time from a practical stand point).
We work so well together and I would imagine that would be a lot of other designers’ experience working with her too.
She “gets” us, our language, and she can see the vision like we see it. She always knows exactly what piece will sing, what glass is needed, what frame stain and thickness is just right, what paper this should be printed on and what size canvas that should be on… not to mention the fact she is so on top of her game when it comes to making the delivery and install process seamless.
Jo not only saves me time as a designer and business owner, but her results are divine and make my clients so happy.
If you are a designer yourself, I would strongly recommend bringing Jo on one of your projects to see what I mean for yourself.

Commercial art consulting and project management
In addition to sourcing and commissioning art, art consultants are also experts in logistics and installation
In addition to sourcing and commissioning art, art consultants are also experts in logistics and installation. For substantial projects like corporate or hotel art consultancy, a turnkey art service ensures clients receive a comprehensive art package, eliminating the need to hire multiple art specialists.
Engaging an experienced art consultant to oversee every aspect of the art curation process ensures a hassle–free experience. Not only are they well–versed in managing the expectations and challenges associated with such projects, but importantly have extensive connections with affiliated art specialists for all the logistical needs of any project.
At Becker Creative, our scope of commercial art projects is very broad, from boutique hotels and retail stores to large hotels and international cruise ships. These projects have consisted of sourcing, printing, framing, transport and installation. Always just one touch point is allocated for each of our clients to keep them completely up to date and across every phase of the project until completion.
Why hire an art consultant? Art and framing tips
Art and framing tips.
Working with an experienced art consultant saves money and time for their clients. Art consultants bring a wealth of practical knowledge and expertise to the table, enabling them to source the appropriate artworks relevant to both the design scheme and the budget whilst accurately assessing the best possible size, framing, glazing and printing of the artworks specified.
The expertise of a designer specializing in art extends to collaborating closely with artists, ensuring that the production of each artwork aligns seamlessly with the practical needs of the designated space. This proactive approach helps prevent costly mistakes in size or framing which could potentially not only detract from the overall cohesiveness of the space but also devalue the artwork if the correct craftsmanship is not applied at all touch points of the project. If you have precious heirloom artworks or photos, their experience and team will guide you in the preservation and conservation of the works.
True art consultants have at their fingertips a network of affiliated art specialists, handlers, technicians, conservators, art framers and valuers. An art consultant can often work collaboratively with an interior designer but they definitely perform quite different functions.
