How To Hang Wall Art
While choosing a piece of metal wall art for any room can be a tough decision, the decorative impact made by the artwork depends on how and where it is hung. From the shape and size of the wall to the height at which the wall art will be displayed, there are a myriad of things to consider when hanging a piece of fine art. The following tips will help you decide how and where to hang your stylish new piece of metal wall art so that it will be viewed in the best possible light, making the stylish impression you imagined when you first laid your eyes on it.
Rules Regarding Proportion.
There are two important points to remember when displaying metal wall hangings or other wall art: First, never hang pieces of large metal wall decor or a grouping of art over a piece of furniture that is smaller than the artwork. Doing so will make the piece of furniture look top heavy and out of proportion. Second, never hang a small work of art all by itself on a sizable wall, or it will look lost and insignificant. Balance wall art and wall groupings with the size of the furniture below it for a harmonious well-proportioned result.
Hang it at the Proper Height.
The proper height for displaying wall art is not a set in stone number. An ideal height for viewing for most individuals is sixty inches, which is where the center of the artwork should fall. For example, if a piece of artwork is vertically long, but the focal point of the artwork is near the center, the center of the piece should hover at approximately sixty inches from the floor. As with all rules, there are exceptions. You should hang wall art a bit lower on the wall if it will be hung in a space where people sit, like a dining room.
How to Create an Illusion of Height and Width.
Creating the illusion of width or height can be achieved with metal wall sculptures. If you want to make the ceiling appear higher, the display should be hung four to five inches lower than eye level. However, furniture that is next to the display will bring your eye and the ceiling height back to reality, so furniture should be moved away from the art display so that the eye doesn’t compare the height of furniture to the height of the wall decor art. This may not be practical in every situation, but on a wall beside a staircase or an entry, where furniture is not adjacent, it can be used to trick the eye into thinking the room is taller than it really is.
Groupings of wall art can be used to trick the eye. To achieve the illusion of height or to cause the room to look more spacious, display them vertically.
Create Templates and Eliminate Guesswork.
Make a template of the artwork on paper before you punch any walls in your wall to hang your wall art. Trace the shape of the art on an adequately sized piece of paper and hang it on the wall with a small piece of masking tape. You must try out different ideas with location, height and grouping until you achieve the feel that you long for. Your next step is to mark the location and then hang your piece with pride!
