How do you style a picture frame on a shelf?
A good rule of thumb for styling picture ledge decor: use a mix of art, family photos, books, trinkets, mirrors, vases, and other items to keep it balanced. When decorating and playing with different pieces, I try to alternate with one piece of art, one photo, one graphic print, and one plant or trinket for each shelf.
How do you arrange a framed picture on a wall?
Hang them at eye-level or higher on a wall where they’ll be noticed. Give them priority positioning – a great picture can double as a room’s centerpiece. Don’t put them too close to any of the room’s corners – you’ll inadvertently give your art a “squished in” look. A foot or two of room should suffice.

How do I organize multiple picture frames?
Select your largest piece first and decide whether you want it to be at the center or off to the side. Then, arranging all of your artwork on the floor, place your other pieces around the largest one. Keep the same distance between each frame. When you’re happy with the arrangement, transfer it to the wall.
Should you hang pictures side by side or staggered?
Try staggering them by hanging one lower than the other, so that top and bottom don’t match. Grouping larger and smaller pieces asymmetrically helps to create interest and energy. The same is true for vertical and horizontal pieces in the same grouping.
Should all your picture frames match?
All framed art does not need to match in a collection. Mixing black and white frames can make a cool high-contrast statement.
When hanging two pictures side by side how far apart should they be?
Treat Multiple Works of Art as One Unit The ideal spacing between multiple artworks is 3 to 6 inches. The 57-inch number is a good average height, but if your eye level is different, be sure to use that measurement when hanging art.
