Don't overlook your walls when decorating your home. We're here to help you make the most of every space, with endless possibilities for showcasing art in every corner. Here are a few things to consider when looking to hang art.
What to consider:
Placement:
Eye Level: Hang art at eye level, typically 57-60 inches from the floor to the center of the piece.
Grouping: Maintain consistent spacing when displaying multiple pieces. Align tops, bottoms, or centers for harmony.
Lighting:
Natural Light: Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Opt for indirect natural light.
Artificial Lighting: Use picture lights, track lighting, or wall washers. Ensure lights are UV-filtered to protect the art.
Wall Composition:
Gallery Wall: Create a dynamic display with various sizes and styles. Plan the layout on the floor or use paper templates on the wall.
Symmetrical Display: For a clean look, hang art in a symmetrical grid or linear arrangement with consistent spacing and frame styles.
Hardware and Hanging:
Use Proper Hooks: Ensure hooks or nails can support the frame's weight. Picture-hanging kits offer a variety of hardware.
Level and Secure: Use a level to ensure straightness. Wall anchors or screws are recommended for heavier pieces.
