Hanging Pictures On A Tall Wall

If they look crooked cheat just a bit so they look.

Hanging pictures on a tall wall.

Look for narrow walls such as the spaces between two doorways or windows and consider hanging two or three small pictures in a vertical line. When hanging a photo you ll first want to determine where you want the pictures to go. Make a small room seem larger by opting for large pictures or make the room seem taller by hanging pictures high on the wall. Use the level to make sure the marks are at the same height.

Press your knuckle against the wall when the picture is exactly where you want it. Maybe you have an empty wall cleared for decor or just a small area above your dresser for the family photo once you ve determined the area to frame measure out the surface area you ll be working with along with the width and height of your picture. The saliva will leave a light mark for placing a nail. If you want to hang a group of pictures for a gallery wall hang the center of the grouping at 57 inches.

With groupings the largest frame is usually best in the center or at the center bottom. Lick your middle knuckle and grab the hanger on the back of the picture with the wet finger. In this case treat the center picture as the center of the grouping. Be sure to use wall anchors for hanging heavy items on your walls.

Once you ve decided where you want to hang a picture make a mark on the wall in pencil on pieces of masking tape if you wish for each hook. What about hanging small pictures. A small picture hung on a large wall can look out of balance. To arrange pictures on a wall in your house think about what pictures will work best in that room and try not to crowd the walls.
