So you’ve taken an amazing photo, you’ve ordered your made to measure picture frame, and it’s fitted perfect in the frame. Now comes the difficult part, where are you going to hang it? If a picture frame is hung well on a wall then it can create an interesting focal point within a room, both for guests that visit your home and also for you to see day to day.<\/p>\n

There is a standard rule that Art Gallery\u2019s use with regards to hanging a frame, which is that it should be 60 inches or 1520mm from the floor to the centre of the picture. This allows the picture to be positioned at the average person\u2019s eye level so that the focal point of the picture is right in eye line. Whilst this is very easy to do in an art gallery with all its bare walls, it might not be as easy in the home due to a fireplace or other unmovable objects. It is only a suggested rule though so keep it in mind but don\u2019t worry if it\u2019s not possible.<\/p>\n

When hanging a single picture, try to consider the size of the picture in relation to the wall it is being hung on. For example if you have a large open wall avoid hanging a small picture central on the wall. Instead find a medium or large sized picture to hang which is large enough to draw attention in an open space.<\/p>\n

Another consideration is where exactly to position the picture; many people simply aim for the middle of a wall to hang, however if you want to make a real statement why not hang your picture off centre? this can help to make a room appear bigger as well as more stylish.<\/p>\n

Positioning Multiple Picture Frames<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The trick with positioning Multiple Picture Frames is making use of space and planning layout.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Staircases are a fairly common way of positioning pictures, so that as the stairs moves upwards, so do the parallel frames meaning as you go up the stairs, the pictures are always at face height.<\/p>\n

Another great way to position pictures is to create a wall collage or photo display; the important thing when planning these is to make sure the layout is balanced:<\/p>\n
