When it comes to displaying artwork in your home it can be difficult to decide where to place it! Do you want to hang your artwork on a wall or lean it? We\u2019re here to help provide you with information on all things hanging art and leaning art so you can make an informed decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Discover the pros and cons of hanging and leaning art to help you determine which style is best for your space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hanging Art\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hanging art is a great option for high-traffic areas. Areas in your home with a lot of foot traffic like the entrance, kitchen and living room would benefit from art being hung on walls as there is less chance of the art being accidentally knocked over. Art can be pretty much hung anywhere! Your walls are the perfect place to hang all of your memories and artwork in a creative way. Mix things up and create a gallery wall featuring different frame styles including <\/span>coloured<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>gold<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>white<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>aluminium picture frames<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re displaying a collection of artwork or similar pieces from an event like a wedding, hanging your artwork is a great way to group these pieces together. This works especially well if a piece is fragile or breakable as there is less chance of it being knocked. Avoid placing your artwork in direct sunlight as this can damage your piece.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Artwork<\/p>\n

Art and photos can help to fill up wall space if you have large walls and tall ceilings. You can fit more on your walls when hanging rather than leaning as you have a larger area to cover. Adding interesting and meaningful visuals to your walls can help bring a room together while showing your style and personality to guests who visit your home. Use a <\/span>frame designer<\/span><\/a> to customise picture frames to your artwork’s precise measurement!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most picture frames include a <\/span>hanging kit<\/span><\/a> to help you attach your frame to a wall. Our frames all come equipped with a hanging kit. Smaller frames tend to include a \u2018 pozzi \u2018 hanger or black clip whereas larger heavier frames will include d-rings, cord and screws.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Hanging Art Cons<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Nail<\/p>\n

Hanging art can be a permanent decision. One of the biggest cons of hanging framed art is that once you have taken your hammer to a wall that mark will remain. If you decide you no longer like the position of your frames a couple of months down the line or decide to sell your house this could be a problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of planning can go into hanging your art. Once you have put the nail in the wall it is almost too late to change your mind about the position. To avoid this, cut out your frame size on a piece of paper and put it in the position you want to hang your frame. This will give you an idea of the placement before you drill any holes into the wall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
