If you are moving into a new home or remodeling your current home and you don't have an idea about how to group and hang your artwork, mirrors and other décor to bring out the feel you wish to portray, don't worry. We have tips and ideas that will give you inspiration.
First, remember that people look at pictures hung at eye level. Although people are different heights, the default height for a normal picture is 66 inches from floor to the center of the hung object.
If the artwork is wider than the furniture below, it will not look appropriate. You may want to choose a different place to hang that picture.
Use two picture hooks with picture hanging wire when hanging pictures of substantial size. Space the hooks as far apart as you can on the back of the frame. This will provide a straight hanging of the picture so that it does not tilt. Also, check to make sure that you have the appropriate wall hangers available for the type of wall that the item will be hanging on.
If a group of pictures are hung together, the frames and artwork should complement each other. Choose coordinating or complementary frames that provide a unified look. Artwork should have similar themes and coloring.
If you are unsure about how the group of pictures will look on your wall, trace the pictures on pieces of paper and tape them to the wall to see what looks most visually pleasing prior to hanging the pictures as a test on your wall.
