Hanging Picture From Top Of Wall

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.

Next turn the picture over and measure from the top of the frame to the point the picture will hang. The 57 inch standard is based on the average eye height of an adult and is the rule used to determine how high to hang pictures in museums and galleries. First you have the challenge of placing objects on a wall in a pleasing way. Generally larger and darker pictures look better placed toward the bottom of a grouping.

With groupings the largest frame is usually best in the center or at the center bottom. Mark a spot on the wall the same distance from the top step and the bottom step and run the string between these points. If you want to hang a group of pictures for a gallery wall hang the center of the grouping at 57 inches. This technique is also useful for hanging pictures along a staircase.

Line up multiple frames from the center. Maybe you have an empty wall cleared for decor or just a small area above your dresser for the family photo once you ve determined the area to frame measure out the surface area you ll be working with along with the width and height of your picture. Use a d ring on each side of a frame for secure picture hanging. For pictures with a hanging wire and one hanging point hook the metal end of a tape measure under the center of the wire.
