Buying one painting is a personal decision. Fitting out a whole hotel is a project with a schedule, a budget line, and a paper trail. We handle both, but the whole-property job is where a studio that can plan room by room really earns its place. This page explains exactly how that works.
Here is how VanArtHub supplies art for an entire property: the process from first call to installed walls, how trade pricing works, the timeline, and how we handle framing, delivery, and installation. This is the practical companion to our hospitality art hub.
How the process works, room by room
We do not hand you a catalogue and wish you luck. We plan the property one space at a time, because a lobby, a corridor, and a guest room each need different sizes, moods, and framing.
-
Brief. You or your designer send us the palette, the mood, and a room list with wall dimensions.
-
Plan. We map the property space by space: the focal piece for the lobby, a series for the corridors, coordinated sets for the guest rooms, calm work for the spa.
-
Propose. We suggest specific original pieces for each space, with sizes and framing, and adjust until it is right.
-
Frame. We frame every piece to spec, matching the finish to each room.
-
Deliver and install. We ship, and we can install so the walls are ready before opening.
Each space has its own guide if you want to go deeper: hotel lobby art, hotel guest room art, and hotel corridor art all cover the sizing and layout we use.
Trade and volume pricing
The first question a finance team asks is cost, and buying a whole property is where we can help most. We offer trade and volume pricing on business orders, so buying the art for a hundred rooms at once costs less per piece than buying one at a time. Tell us the room count and the budget early, and we plan the spend across the building, putting more into the walls where guests linger and less into the quiet corners.
Every piece is still an original, hand-signed Canadian painting, no reproductions and no print-on-demand. Each one ships with a Certificate of Authenticity, which is the paperwork your finance team wants attached to a capital asset.
Timeline
Large orders take real time, mostly because originals are made, not stamped out, and framing to spec adds a step. We will not promise an exact number of days, because the honest answer depends on the size of the order, the framing, and any commissions. What we can tell you: the delays we see most come from the client side, usually a committee that only meets monthly, not from the studio. So start early. Bring us in during the design phase, agree the plan, and we can work backward from your opening date to build a realistic schedule.
For pieces made to a set size or palette, allow extra time for the commission. For in-stock originals, framing and shipping is the main lead time. Shipping to Canada and the USA is free and insured.
Framing, delivery, and installation
Framing to spec
We frame each piece to suit its room: a deep, hard-wearing frame for the lobby, protective glazing for high-traffic and humid areas, and a clean finish for guest rooms. Framing is planned per space, not one style forced across the whole building.
Delivery
Every painting ships with free, fully insured delivery in Canada and the USA. For a whole property we coordinate the delivery so it arrives in a planned way, not as scattered boxes.
Installation
We offer delivery and installation, so the art can be hung, levelled, and ready before you open the doors. That takes the wall work off your operations team during a busy pre-opening period.
The pieces we draw from
A whole-property package pulls from across our range. Public spaces often come from our hotel lobby art and large abstract paintings for lobby collections, signature walls from luxury hotel art, and rooms and corridors from hotel wall art. As a Vancouver studio, we can weave Canadian landscape and coastal work through the property to give it a real sense of place.
Frequently asked questions
How does VanArtHub supply art for a whole property?
We plan the property room by room. You send a room list with wall sizes, palette, and mood, and we map each space: a focal piece for the lobby, a series for corridors, coordinated sets for guest rooms, calm work for the spa. Then we propose specific originals, frame to spec, and deliver and install.
Do you offer trade or volume pricing for hotels?
Yes. We offer trade and volume pricing on business orders, so a whole-property purchase costs less per piece than buying one at a time. Tell us the room count and budget early, and we plan the spend across the building. Every piece is still an original, hand-signed painting with a Certificate of Authenticity.
How long does a whole-property art order take?
It depends on the order size, the framing, and any commissions, so we will not promise an exact number of days. Originals are made rather than stamped out, which takes time. The delays we see most are client-side, like a committee that meets monthly, so start early and we build a schedule backward from your opening date.
Do you handle framing, delivery, and installation?
Yes, all three. We frame each piece to suit its room, ship with free insured delivery in Canada and the USA, and offer installation so the art is hung and levelled before you open. Planning framing per space and coordinating delivery keeps the wall work off your operations team during pre-opening.
