Hanging Two Pictures On The Same Wall

Subtract the width of your pictures in step 2 from the width of your wall.

Hanging two pictures on the same wall. Measure the width of your pictures and add that together. When hanging one picture above the other consider the point that most draws the eye to be the mid line. When you re hanging 9 pieces in a salon wall you can get away with a lot of variety in frames and the style and color of the art itself. There s an inverse relationship between the number of pieces in a gallery and how well they need to relate to each other.

Remember that eye level in a sitting room is usually lower than eye level in a hallway. It s usually best to use two picture hangers so pictures don t swing or tilt. Line up multiple frames from the center. For heavier pictures or pieces of art this can be a necessity.

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. When hanging anything on your wall it s best to place the nail in the stud the sturdy piece of wood supporting the wall. However because studs are only an inch or two thick and fairly spaced out they re often not exactly where you want to hang a picture. Use the level to make sure the marks are at the same height.

If a room has a slightly sloping floor or ceiling start by hanging the pictures level. When hanging up a trio or collection of pictures of varying heights do not try to line up the frames from the bottom or the top. Install two d rings on the back of a frame directly opposite each other. We had two pictures of the same size and they were 21 5 inches wide so 21 5 21 5 43 inches.

We now know that we have 55 inches of space that s not covered by a picture.
