How do you create a group wall?
My Three Tips on Creating the Perfect Wall Grouping ::
- Size and Scale. Select pieces that are different sizes and scales.
- Shapes. Incorporating many different shapes adds interest to a grouping.
- Textures and Finishes.
- Switch up canvas art.
- Continuity of shapes and patterns.
- Add a shelf.
How do you arrange wall art of different sizes?
Use one large piece or several small pieces that appear as one unit.
- Remember you are decorating a wall. Choose smaller pieces for narrow walls and larger canvas wall art pieces for big walls.
- Arrange pictures on a wall before putting hammer to nail. Lay everything out on a table or on the floor.
- Hang artwork at eye level.
How do you group paintings together?
How to Group Artwork
- Create symmetry. If you’re thinking of covering a large wall but aren’t sure how to strike the right arrangement, focus on symmetry.
- Focus on a unifying element.
- Do a balancing act.
- Layer pieces together.
- Simplify with large scale pieces.
Do you center art on wall or furniture?
Artwork should be centered over the furniture such as a sofa, bed or mantel. Artwork placed above a main piece of furniture in the room should be placed no more than six inches above the piece of furniture in order to make them appear cohesive.
Can you have too much art on your walls?
Too-Wide-Open Spaces Artworks that sit too far apart seem disconnected. If each piece or a certain work in your grouping seems to be wandering aimlessly on its own, you may not have enough art on the wall. Bring the pieces closer together, or hang additional art to fill “dead” spaces.
Should you put a mirror behind a couch?
Mount Mirrors Above the Sofa Above a sofa can be a great place to hang a large mirror, but keep in mind that, whenever possible, mirrors should be hung across from windows or something else that’s visually appealing. Don’t hang a large mirror over a sofa simply because it’s an empty space and you happen to have one.
