The most common mistake when hanging pictures is placing them too high.
There are a few basic rules that are good to know.
The first uses a center line. The center of the boards is placed at the same height. The center line is approximately 1.4 m from the floor and ceiling, depending on the height of the room; a horizontal line in the middle of the wall.
The top corners of the paintings are equidistant from the ceiling. This is perhaps the most unusual way to hang. If you have a lot of paintings, you can create a strong effect with this method.
The bottoms of all the boards should be at the same level from the floor. This is best if you have a lot of large boards. The horizontal line should be below the middle of the wall; 0.9-1.2 m from the floor line.
The most harmonious and balanced result between paintings of different sizes is achieved as follows:
Measure the horizontal center of the wall.
Divide the height of the board into three parts.
Subtract this number from the center of the wall.
The bottom corners of the board should be located at the number you got.
If you hang the paintings on top of each other, the larger painting should be on top. Usually, the smaller painting is hung higher, but it is also worth trying the other way around.
A grouping of several paintings is like a collage of paintings. The rule is simple: make sure the outermost sides are aligned. It doesn't really matter how the paintings are arranged within the red frame.
Sometimes you can create great wholes without any planning.
You just hang pictures of different sizes and themes, mixing them up randomly, e.g. 7-12 cm apart.
The end result can be surprisingly stunning and even interesting.
