5 Picture Frame Hanging Mistakes One Should Avoid

Picture frames have always been an integral part of homes. It is one of those decor elements, without which one can hardly imagine one’s abode. Despite this, display mistakes are common and frequent, but not at all acceptable. Therefore, to save you from committing blunders, this article highlights five of the most familiar art displaying errors, which one can easily relate to. Take a look at them below and pledge never to repeat it again.

1. Being extremely matchy-matchy

When selecting frames, people often take hints from the decor around to ensure that it matches the surroundings. However, it shouldn’t be the same as always. In fact, one should take this opportunity to break free from the shackles of colour palettes and decide on something that’s starkly contrasting.

2. Of Not Leaving A Wall Empty

It’s a typical mistake committed mostly by art lovers, whereby the wall appears a little overcrowded with too many photo frames. This cluttered look is a strict ‘no’ and the key to a lovelier wall is a less hectic space.

3. Hanging Framed Artworks Above The Eye-level

The easiest to fix yet most common error committed by many is hanging a framed art well above the eye level, floating awkwardly above the furniture set or the bed.

The way out would be to take a stroll around to evaluate hanging heights of art pieces and bring it down to a level which would only improve the overall appearance.

4. Of Not Leaning A Few Art Pieces

Who says framed artworks are meant only for hanging? One could definitely experiment with something out of the box. Leaning a few either on top of a dresser or on the corner table and pulling art off the walls to blending it with the rest of the decor, can be a good start, any given day.

5. Avoiding Layering of Decor

A sophisticated living space demands a strong connection between the framed artwork and the rest of the room. The right way to go ahead is by layering, thereby allowing floor lamps and leaves of indoor plants to sneak right in front of framed photographs.
