Never just "pick out a bare wall, pull up a chair and hammer a nail into the wall." There is a science behind hanging Art, Photos and Mirrors. Our friends at the Lennoxx shared 3 Tips to always consider...
-
1. "When hanging art or framed photos on the wall, never ever pull up a chair to hammer in the nail. If you need a chair, you’ve aimed too high. Artwork should be hung at eye level. Just think about it; you would never hang a mirror at any other height than eye level, right? The same should go for art and pictures."

(David Kaplan) 2. "When placing art over a furniture, never hang it higher than a few inches above the furniture. Why not skip the nail altogether and place the artwork on the furniture leaning back on the wall? By relating artwork to the furniture below it, you’ll create little interesting vignettes."
(Elizabeth Baily)
3. "I’ve always seen art as a way to fill out empty wall space. Once I realized that art should relate to furniture, I started questioning how much bare wall was “acceptable”. Then I realized that the bare walls around the vignette actually aided in making the vignette a focal point. Moral of this point: Don’t fear leaving it bare!"
