How to Place a Wall Art?

Decorating your home with a piece of wall art is likely to give a better look and an aesthetic look to people living in the home. However, it is not only selecting a wall art for home is difficult but how to place them is a great task.

The art work you select should be hung in a way that it is the center of attraction, which makes the room look better. If you have already purchased an artwork or a painting for home, and it is ready for hanging but you are confused on how and where to hang it,  here are  tips that are helpful in such a situation.

Artwork according to the wall size: When  hanging a wall art consider the space of the wall. Small size art should be chosen for narrow walls and big size for large walls or else you can hang 4-6 small pieces of artwork on a big wall. Pieces of small sizes hung on wider walls will make them less visible on wall, and do not impress visitors. Another way of hanging wall art is that you can place vertical form of artwork on narrow walls to make the space look bigger. Make sure that you don't hang art too high or too low. It should be placed centrally on the wall and at eye level.

Artwork according to the furniture size: When you are hanging an artwork on the wall, see that it should not be bigger than the width of the furniture. For instance, a large painting hung above small coffee table will make the painting look out of size and gives an awkward look to the wall. Similarly, if you want to place an art or painting on the back of sofa wall, go for horizontal painting and this should be according to the size of the sofa

Artwork according to the style of the room: When placing a piece of art, make sure that it matches the style of the room. For instance, arranging the paintings in symmetrical form is formal and traditional style.

Asymmetrical style is casual and modern. This style of placing artwork can be used in modern rooms. Use large wall art in modern rooms. Whereas if you want to give a vintage look to any room, place black and white pictures, botanical prints etc. Also consider the style of the frames.  

With proper tips and techniques of hanging wall art, you can make it look great and display it effectively.
