By grouping wall art together you will bring style and personality to any space. You can create a big impact and a focal point by geometrically hanging pieces of wall art together. Try to tell a story or capture someone’s attention each time they enter your home.
1. Three images of a similar theme hung together in a row will add drama and a gallery feel.
2. Symmetrical arrangements are often used to also create gallery effects. You can enhance their effect by hanging them above large pieces of furniture.
3. Grouping smaller and similarly sized pieces together creates the illusion of a larger work of art.
4. Always hang pictures at eye level of the average person where they can be comfortably viewed. The standard distance is about 60 inches off the floor.
5. Standard spacing between prints is 4” to 6″.
6. When hanging something above a sofa, or any large piece of furniture, leave no less than three, and no more than six inches between the two objects.
7. The eye is more attracted to an odd number of grouped items rather than to an even number.
8. Visually, dark colored pieces should go below light colored pieces and heavier pieces should go below visually lighter pieces.
