Hang Wall Art against a Dramatic Backdrop

Use Assorted Frames

To display your beautiful art, get an assortment of frames. Paint them the same color to give them a makeover then hang them in a gallery. You can also hang them with frames touching horizontally. Start out with the large pieces and hang the smaller ones around the corner. Corners can be difficult places to fill so it is better to hang smaller pieces.

Hang Wall Art above the Sofa

Most people tend to hang wall art too high. When hanging art, make sure the image’s center is at eye level. Hang it lower in the living room as people usually sit there. Check to make sure that the art is in scale. Avoid pieces that are too large or small as they make the entire arrangement look uncoordinated. The art you hang above the sofa should cover at least ⅔ of its size.
