How to arrange art before hanging?

Don’t make yourself frustrated at the time of hanging and rehanging the arts. Instead, trace each piece of your art on the craft paper then label the tracing and cut it off. Draw an arrow on the paper to indicate that in which way the subject is looking if in case you’re hanging portraits. Use only painter tapes that help to arrange your art without giving your walls many holes.

Arranging Art in the Bedroom

Choose personal art for the bedroom always like your own photography or the family photograph. Stick all the art in one color theme either white or black if you’re arranging the piece in a grouping or all colored photographs. You can also unite the arrangement of art by choosing the frames in the same style, color, and finish.

Arrange Art above the Sofa in the living room

Art hanging in too high a place is one of the most common decorative mistakes. You should consider the center of the image right at eye level. People usually sit in the living room so, try to locate the artwork at the lower places. This is a good way to ensure that you’re placing the artwork at the correct height.

Arranging Art in the Kitchen

For the kitchen, you need to hang your arts where they won’t get damaged by the heat or water. You can consider the art above the command center, above the open counter space, or near the dining table. If you have a traditional kitchen then you can also try Vintage Art with traditional frameworks. While in the case of a modern kitchen, try stainless steel frames with bright colors.
