Hang a picture or a painting on a wall is also an art. What is color of wall and what we are going to hang should have symmetry, proportion and color adjustment. There is a common practice that we hang artwork at the eye level, so that the center of the artwork may come to our focal point.

Balance the Art Work In Respect to the Size Of The wall:

If you have a small wall to decorate with pictures, then select small pictures for it. But if the wall is larger in size then, select large pictures for it. Keep in mind that the setting should be compact. The space in between the picture frames should be equal and there should be perfect proportion.

Balance the Art Work With In Respect to the Size of the Furniture:

If there is any furniture in the room where you are hanging the artwork, it should not be larger than the size of the furniture. For example if there is any table or sofa, the picture may be 75% of its width.

Light Work for Artwork:

Lighting always enhances the impression of art work. If a dreamy artwork is not lighted well it will lost its impression. Properly lit paintings or pictures seem to be real and dramatic.

The Combination of Colors and Size:

When going to hang a picture in your room, must see the color of the walls, picture is making a contrast or matching with it? Also consider the size and color of the furniture. The color of the picture or painting should not disturb you mentally, because every color has a particular effect on every man.

Framework Adds Beauty:

The proper framing of the painting or picture adds beauty to work. So at the time of framing you should be creative.

Hanging Artwork in Horizontal Lines:

The people overlook the line of hanging the artwork, but it has also an importance. It sets the mood of the room. Horizontal lines seem to be wide and improve the entire decoration.

Hanging Artwork in Vertical Lines:

Vertical lines seem to be formal, but add fantasy. The height looks elegant & refined.

Hanging Artwork in Diagonal Lines:

Undoubtedly it will look dramatic & exciting, if the pictures will be hanged in diagonal lines. Although it is not a good practice, but this technique is used in stairwell.

Hanging Artwork in Symmetrical Style:

This arrangement produces a formal & casual feeling. When arrangement is divided in half, each half will be the mirror image of the other, it should be balanced perfectly. It develops a special effect and pleases the observer. This way of hanging is called symmetry.

Hanging Theme of Art:

If the picture was not hung to wall carefully & securely, it may come out at anytime and as a result may be damaged & spoiled. So what is the solution? Hang the pictures with strong hooks, keeping in view the size and weight of the pictures. It will be better to hang them in drywall hangers.

Contrast Color Gives An Impact:

The mat also gives a nice impact when placed behind the pictures. The contrast colors enhance the presentation and artwork. If the wall is of dark color, choose lighter color mat & vice versa.

Something Different For Fun:

Try to frame various item in one mat and frame, it may produce a fun in a room. Three in one improves the interest and save the costs of framing. As result you get a larger piece which can be a nice proportion for the room.
