Here are a few tips to make life easier before you begin:
Hang items on picture hools rather than on nails. Items hung on nails can easily slide off the nails and break.
Use 1 hook for small or light items, 2 hooks for larger, heavier items. When in doubt it’s best to use 2 hooks.
When hanging items one on top of another always start by hanging the lowest item first.
Prevent your art from shifting on the walls by placing rubber pads on the bottom corners of your frames.
Generally speaking, hang your artwork so the center of the piece is at “standing eye level” (60-66 in / 150-165cm) when measured from the floor.
In a room where you are sitting most of the time (office, living room, tv room etc.), hang some of your pieces slightly lower so you can enjoy them while you are sitting (42-48 in / 105-120cm).
These heights are guidelines only. Visit our website for more arrangements and creative hanging suggestions.
When hanging picture frames of different sizes side by side (horizontal hanging) you can align them in a number of ways:
When hanging picture frames of different sizes on top of each other (vertical hanging) align the centers of the frames.
IMPORTANT: When hanging items in a vertical grouping always start by hanging the lowest item first to avoid the tool interfering with the item above it.
