How to Hang Artwork Correctly
Things You’ll Need:
- Hammer
- Picture hooks
Step 1
Assumption: Artwork is ready to hang, with wire, etc.
Decide where to hang the piece. Choose your location wisely. If it has glass, you might consider a spot where it won’t receive a lot of glare, away from windows. If you have spot lighting, center the piece to gain the appropriate amount of light.
Step 2
Decide how it will be viewed the majority of the time. For example, will it be in a dining room? Then it will be viewed from a sitting position most of the time. Will it go in a bedroom? Then it will be viewed from a laying position. Hallway? Standing…
Step 3
Decide the appropriate height for the piece based on your decision from step 2. How to decide? Well, you figure out the eye-level of the viewing position that you decided upon.
Step 4
Estimate the eye-level chosen as the center of the piece. Turn the piece over and guesstimate where the hook will need to be placed, to achieve the right eye-level.
Step 5
Go ahead and hammer the hook into the wall. Try your piece out, straighten it. If it’s not quite right, then move the hook over a little. Eye balling is still the best way!
