The artwork displayed in your home is a reflection of you and your personal style. Selecting where and how to best hang your favorite pieces can be a challenging task, so here are some tips.
* When assembling a grouping of items to hang, view the group as a single unit.
* Do not place things too far apart from each other; use your hand width to determine spacing.
* Symmetrical placement in groupings is ideal for pieces that are similar in size, shape and subject matter.
* Consider asymmetry when designing a group of prints that may share one element, like subject matter or color scheme, but differ in size and shape.
* Keep at least one common thread in large groupings, such as frame style or subject matter.
* Avoid hanging your artwork too high.
* Hang your artwork so that the center point of a piece of grouping is at approximately eye level.
* To test the placement of your groupings, take Kraft paper, trace your pieces, cut them out, and then use painters tape to secure your cutouts to the wall. You have the flexibility of moving the paper pieces around until you have the arrangement the way you want it.
* Remember of course you can always hire an interior decorator to help with that professional end result!
