To ensure that your artwork is displayed in all its glory, we have compiled some valuable advice on hanging and selecting the perfect size for your walls.
Hanging Artwork
The proper hanging technique is an art form in itself. Follow these guidelines to ensure your pieces are displayed beautifully:
1.Eye Level
Hang your artwork at eye level for optimal viewing. A common rule of thumb is to hang artwork at eye level, which is generally considered to be around 60 inches (152 centimetres) from the floor. This allows the centre of the artwork to be at eye level for an average-sized person.
2.Balance and Proportion
Consider the size of the wall and the surrounding furniture when choosing the placement. You can achieve balance by arranging them evenly on either side of a focal point, such as a mirror or above a bed frame.
3.Lighting
Proper lighting enhances the visual impact of your artwork. Make sure there's enough natural or artificial light to highlight its beauty. Photography after all is the art of painting with light, so make sure you can make your artwork shine.

Choosing the Right Size
Selecting the right size of artwork is crucial for achieving a visually appealing and harmonious space.
Here are a few pointers to guide you:
Two Thirds to Three Quarters
Choosing the right size of artwork is crucial to ensure that it doesn't get lost on your walls. While personal preferences may vary, a general rule of thumb is to aim for wall art that takes up around two-thirds to three-quarters of the available wall space.
Size Matters
One common mistake is selecting artwork that is too small for the intended space, which can leave the wall feeling empty. Remember, wall art is meant to make a statement and serve as a focal point. By going bigger, you not only fill the space but also create a visually striking display that captivates viewers and adds depth to your interior design.
Multiple Pieces
If you're hanging a group of artworks, ensure that the combined size and arrangement fit the wall space adequately. Remember, it's the overall composition that matters. create a unified arrangement by treating them as a single unit.
Measurements & Visuals
Take measurements of the wall space where you plan to hang the artwork. It can be a great idea to bring in photos of your space to show your designer your ideas.
