Have you ever tried to arrange and hang your own artwork, only to discover that there is something just not quite “right” with the finished product?  If you lack a natural “eye” for arranging wall art, you’re left with a few options… read on for simple tips to get the best looking results on your walls… or better yet, call your designer!  Did you know that we can guide you through the entire wall art process, from selecting the perfect piece to placing it exactly where it needs to be on your walls?  Hanging artwork is now as simple as making a phone call.

This piece of original artwork really makes a bold statement!  Notice how it is placed in the center of a main wall, the scale of the piece allows it to be big enough to be noticed without overtaking the wall and it is hung at eye level.  Eye level?  That’s different for each person!  As a general rule of thumb, the center of the artwork should be hung at 5 to 5 and 1/2 feet high.  This is “eye level” for the majority of people.  Although… placement depends on the orientation of the piece, it’s surroundings, etc.

 

The 3-dimensional artwork positioned between these two stone columns is perfect for that spot!  Notice how its linear design complements the horizontal orientation of the stonework?  The dimensional piece adds texture and interest to the space.

 

Most of us could recognize that a mirror or piece of artwork is absolutely necessary above a chest like this one.  But, would you have thought to flank the chest with elongated vertical pieces, too?  It’s a neat twist on the placement of art and truly completes the grouping in this entryway!  Notice the unique stainless steel framing material that suspends the artwork from its top.

 

 

Use a little ingenuity!  This artwork trio was intended to be hung vertically… a little creativity and voila!  When hung horizontally, they pack a little unexpected punch.  Think outside the box and get creative… hang square mirrors on the diagonal, creating a diamond, arrange clever groups, draw it out first and take ideas from photos and magazines.  Just don’t do the ever-expected staggered stair step arrangement with a pair of artwork pieces… if they go together, hang them together, not staggered like one fell or you mismeasured.

 

Wall art doesn’t have to be on a canvas or in a frame… look at how this mosaic tile design spans the entire stairwell from floor to ceiling, creating a dramatic effect!

 

 

Now you are armed with inspiration!  Artwork provides an easy way to add color, texture and interest to any room.

Let the creativity begin!
