How To Dress Your Walls

Artwork adds color and personality to a room, making it distinctive and unique. It should be selected to make a statement or enhance your furnishings. Think about who you are, are you eclectic or a minimalist. Always surround yourself with what makes you happy.
There are some basic guidelines and tips for hanging artwork. As a rule people tend to hang their pictures too high. The center of the picture should be eye level in a hallway or foyer where the viewer is likely to be standing and lower in a living room or dining room where people will be seated.
Artwork should not be hung on a wall unrelated to anything else - relate it to the furniture. As a general rule, these should be 8 to 10 inches above or beside furniture and artwork should be at least half as wide, but no wider than the furniture below it.
