Picture Hanging Ideas DIY

There are a lot of picture hanging ideas that can meet your  interior decor needs, however we decided to share our favorite picture hanging ideas that can help you decide what to do on your next picture hanging project .

Picture hanging Idea 1: Picture Collage

This is one of our favorite options because of the way you can simply arrange picture frames to create an awesome artistic impression. Another exciting thing about picture collages is the fact that you can create a theme wall that profiles academic achievements, family or travel experiences.

Key considerations when thinking about a picture collage is the frame sizes and orientation. You may have to do a layout before going for this option. Secondly it may be expensive as you need to consider the costs of individual frames as well as the cost of hiring a professional to hang the frames.

Picture hanging Idea 2: Perspective View Hanging

This option is another favorite option common in corporate companies. The awesome thing about this option is that you have ample space along a corridor to showcase your work experiences. It also has a corporate feel to it while utilizing space management techniques.

Key considerations for this option is ensuring that the frame sizes are the same as well as the spacing. The eyes can easily pick up distortions in sizes, and as such, you need to ensure that the sizes are the same. It may also be nice to ensure that the artworks are framed in the same way (eg use of mount boards). 

Picture hanging Idea 3: Double-volume Hanging

Double-volume hanging is another creative way of hanging your artwork, however the emphasis here is size. From our experience, this type of hanging is suitable for displaying your big colorful artworks. Depending on the design and layout of your space, double-volume hanging is ideal and can have so much effect in the aesthetics of your space.

Things to consider include the positioning:

• • • Is the artwork facing the doorway so that it can attract the eyes of your visitors?

    • How colorful is the artwork so that it brightens up the space?

    • Is the artwork big enough so that there is a perfect balance in the use of space?

Double-volume hanging can also be slightly more expensive if you are engaging a professional as they will require scaffolds and long ladders. Be sure you understand the requirements before deciding on this option.

Diagonal Hanging System

The diagonal hanging is suitable for staircases making it ideal for homes. This is one of the most common hanging options as it provides you the opportunity to put up your family pictures.

One of the key considerations is the fact that you need to ensure that the artworks are high enough so that they don’t get damaged as people walk on the stairs. This is important if you have kids at home as they can easily pull them off the walls.
