How to Hang Art Like a Professional- MayinArt Guide

Home feels like a home when there are colours all over. Particularly in walls. Paintings are for all that and more. Beauty - yes but also a sense of vitality and cheer to spread in your own home.

Of course, the painter / artist and the kind of art you hang on your wall plays a critical role in defining the space. But the way you hang art also plays an equally crucial role. 

Some tips below – 

 

Always hang at eye-level - Imagine your wall being divided into four horizontal sections from the floor to the ceiling. Hang your art in the third section from the floor. If you're hanging art above a sofa, the golden rule is to leave one-hand's space above the sofa.

Make sure it fits the space that you are considering - When you're surveying the spot, consider what spaces you're working with and how your art would fit into those areas—making sure to consider if you'll need that wall for something else in the near future.

Gallery wall – undoubtedly - Create your story. The arrangement need not be centered and you don't have to follow any type of framework. You may use an odd number of works, mix photos with paintings, mix and match picture frames. One approach could be to place the largest piece of art in the center (or slightly off-center) and go from there. Another method is to lay your art out on the floor first to see how it will look arranged on your wall. You can also test your plans by arranging sheets of paper on the wall with painter's tape before you actually commit to the placement.

Line or grid framework? If you're the kind of person who needs to be organized and minimal, go ahead and embrace symmetry, making sure to use a level so that the pieces are perfectly even.

Contrast or blend with background - While many people have white walls that can easily complement almost any piece of art, a painted or textured backdrop can either make an artwork pop or drown it. If your walls fall in this category, make sure the colours and tones work well together.

No need to hang everything - Keep in mind that you don't always have to put holes in your walls for every piece of art. Framed art can be arranged elegantly on a shelf, a counter, or even on the floor for a crisp modern look and a less formal display.
