DECORATING TIPS

The art of hanging pictures and images.
Your home is your gallery. Make every room a stunning gallery by following some rules before hanging your images.

BEFORE HANGING
Before banging a nail in the wall, try out a picture by leaning it against the wall of a mantel or by cutting out a piece of paper in the same size.

Always hang pictures last after the furniture and lights are in place.

You don’t need to hang a picture on every wall. This doesn’t allow you to create a focal point in the room.

Whether you’re hanging one picture or a group of two or more the total length should equal about two-thirds the length of the furniture piece. A small picture will look out of place over a large sofa.

Grouped pictures should be spaced two to four inches apart, and should hang six to twelve inches above your furniture.
