1. Find The Right Spot

When you’re hanging wall art in your house, you have many options of where you can turn it. You can hang it over a mantlepiece or fireplace, over furniture, create a gallery wall, or on the walls of your hallway.

You can create a gallery wall using your favorite posters, prints, paintings, or pictures and organize it around windows, door frames, or cabinets. You can find tips for arranging wall art on a gallery wall here.

2. Choose Your Formation

When it comes to how to arrange wall art, you will want to choose how you want the pictures to line up. For example, if you get symmetrical, grid-like formations, it will look fresh and formal.

Asymmetrical images create an edgy look. You can try placing pictures vertically and horizontally to see what fits best, and you can use a tape measure to make sure the distances match up.

3. Framing

There are many types of wall art, and when it comes to hanging them up and making them look nice, you’ll want to select the proper frames. You can get metal and wood and choose from multiple colors.

4. Hanging Supplies

Depending on the size and weight, you can use a picture hanger that you can nail into the wall. This will leave minimal holes in the wall too. If you’re living in an apartment that you don’t own, it makes for an easy take-down and clean-up.

You can also use bolts, adhesive strips, and anchors. Your options are endless, depending on the art and type of wall.

5. Test Run

Before hanging any art up, you can use paper and size out where you want to put it. If you tape up a paper of the same size and realize you don’t like how it looks or doesn’t fit right, you can adjust it.

6. Always Hang Art At Eye Level

It would help if you always hung your art at eye level. Eye-level is about 57-60 inches off the ground.

If you have a room with lower ceilings or a space where people are mostly sitting, you can hang it lower.
