Whether you are moving into a new dorm, office, or home, hanging up artwork and photos can seem a daunting task to start. So, here are 6 easy tips to remember when you are starting to set up your display.
1.) When hanging a single piece, you want to hang it so the center of the piece is at about eye-level.
2.) When hanging more than one piece, be sure to treat them as if they were one piece. So, if you are hanging one painting above another, hang them so the middle of the two combined pieces is at about eye-level.
3.) When hanging more than two, make sure they are equidistant from each other.
4.) Arranging them by laying them out on the floor before you put them up is helpful to see how they look alongside each other.
5) Cut out pieces of paper to tape up on the wall and see where each one would go before hanging.
6.) When hanging above a sofa or bed, allow a gap of about 6-8 inches between the sofa or bed and the artwork.
And don’t forget to have fun with it! Displaying pictures and artwork in your space is a great chance to express yourself and share your taste with your visitors.
