How to perfect your art hanging techniques has been a hot topic at the Livingetc office as of late. We all want our walls to look gallery-ready, guests gawking at our gorgeous design, but what's the secret? Anyone who has tried their hand at hanging art in their own home knows that it's harder than it looks. To save your walls from numerous holes, I called in the experts to help crack the code.
How to hang art like a professional relies on three key steps during preparation: selecting where to hang your art, how many pieces to hang, and, the talk of today, how high to hang the art. The height of your art affects the way the rest of your furniture feels within a room and the Feng Shui of the space as a whole. An artwork too close or too far from a mantel or the back of a sofa can throw off an entire layout.
