From years of experience in hanging pictures come about certain rules. When it comes to hanging pictures do not hang them on all the walls you notice unless you've always yearned to live in an art gallery and it is best if you hang pictures to make a wall not seem bare. If you are going to hang some pictures consider doing so over a console, a sofa, a server, a small pier table, or in groups.
What is next is a second rule. Avoid making the groupings wider than the furniture under it. Should you hang pictures that vary in sizes then you should hang them closer together to get a unified look.
For example, you may have a prized collection of bird prints but the frames differ in type and size. Refrain from hanging them frame by frame and instead keep in mind pleasing geometrics.
Then there is the third rule. Regardless of how close pictures are hung the wall is also a frame that serves to set off a group of pictures on all four sides. The formation of a square or a rectangle is considered when pictures are hung in pleasing geometry.
It is possible that you have four pictures all framed alike and of the same size you may want hang them geometrically in a square over the sofa, or in a straight line over a long table, or vertically above a small step table. Hanging pictures in a step pattern should only be done when there is a staircase.
As much as possible stick to straight lines meeting at right angles. There are times when a little regimentation is the better option to take.
You may be one of those who have been able to accumulate a collection of pictures over a lifetime including old family portraits, originals, prints, and reproductions. A good option to take would be to unify these when hung together by framing and matting everything alike.
For 16 prints, one friend used forest green matting and simple gold frames. Setting them against a red wall resulted in a sensational look.
Using a unique shade when she matted each picture over her sofa was the way a friend added color. Only one subject applies to the pictures and they were of the same size too.
Did you ever experience staring inside a department store model room wondering to yourself what could be missing? Regardless of how picture perfect the room is no one ever ate, slept, lived, and took phone calls in there. There is an absence of individuality. This is an important part of your home.
The reason behind a department store model is the selling of furniture but when it comes to your home the goal is to achieve your comfort and pleasure. Never mind the trends and go for your favorite color. Able to affect the mood of a room is a particular color you select.
Color is emotional, and different colors inspire different emotions. If you have no colors in mind then go look at several color charts to help you find just the right color. The choice that matters here is the one you make personally.
