How to hang a painting

Today I will solve your dilemma about how to hang a painting. If you follow the three rules when hanging paintings, your home will look like the best gallery.

Three simple rules when hanging paintings

The image you choose is the finishing touch that brings the space together, which complements it. Each room gets an extra touch of elegance, homeliness, and functionality with the paintings.
If you follow the three rules when hanging paintings, your home will look like the best gallery.

Hanging a picture from its center

The first rule is to hang the artwork 150 cm from the floor.
Then measure the height of the image and divide it by 2. That gives you the center of the artwork. Placing the center of the image at eye level provides a comfortable admiration for art.
Take a new dimension and add 150 cm to it. Well, strictly at this height, your painting will hang.
It should be hung at eye level so that the painting immediately falls into your field of vision.

A suggestion of hanging paintings if there is furniture nearby

Depending on painting from its center does not apply here. If you turn a painting above the bed, sofa, it should be 15-20 cm away from the furniture. Of course, also pay attention to the spatial matching of the painting, table, and space. A small painting above an oversized couch will not be a good choice, and while the big painting will straight shine in the room.

Suggestion to hang more paintings

If you are going to hang multiple paintings, treat them as if you are riding one. There should be at least 7 - 15 cm of space between them.
You can also hang them around one central painting. Follow the center point rule, as this is the only way to make all other paintings look balanced.
If there is no furniture in the room or at least on the wall where you hang paintings, you can follow the rule to hang them 150 cm above the floor to be at eye level.

It takes very little to make your space shine in a new look. As you can see, however, there are different options. After all, you have to like how and where you will hang your artwork, and the paintings will live with you and beautify you every day.
