How to arrange photos?

After redecorating or moving into a new flat or home, it seems one of the last projects is always hanging pictures on the wall. It’s no surprise for arranging photos is a decorating challenge that can stump even the most seasoned home decorator.



THE frames are the same color and general shape and hung in a straight line. Depending on your photos, you can hang the frames all horizontally, all vertically, or in an alternating pattern as shown.



Group a collection of framed photos of different sizes and colors to create one unified shape. If you have a lot of pics, you could fill the space of a narrow wall or the space above the sofa. Try to group photos tightly, with no more than an inch or two between photos.

Making a group of art or pictures on a wall is an perfect way to create an interesting focal point.

Use a measuring tape to be sure that the distance between several pictures that will hang in a row is equal. Four small pictures on the left of a large picture can be balanced with two medium sized pictures on the right. You should remember that this only works with careful consideration to balance.



TIPS:

Pictures and prints should hang just above eye level.

Consider lighting to emphasize your arrangement. When lighting is directed to the arrangement, it commands even more attention. Be careful of lighting that is bright. This type of lighting should be subdued and not produce glare.

Add diversity to the arrangement. Use frames and mats that are different sizes and shapes, but compliment one another.

When placing art above furniture such as chairs, sofas, beds, groupings or console tables, "eyeball" the amount of space between the furniture and the ceiling, then allocate 2/3's of that space for pictures.


When You would like to hang a painting too high above a piece of furniture can leave both pieces feeling disconnected. Best guideline is 5-9 inches above the furniture.


When You hanging a print above a furniture, you should to leave arm space above the furniture back.
TRICK: lay your arm flat against the back of the sofa and roll up once to get a good "clearance" measure.


Generally the middle of painting should be at eye level - 58" from the floor. It's
best acceptable to hang a picture at seated eye level, so that the seated person can enjoy the view.


Oversized furniture calls for robust art prints to strike a balance. For visual weight, consider a grouping of 2-3 painting that carry strong visual weight through color or a wider molding and mat combination.
