BURLINGTON MALL 777 GUELPH LINE 905-315-8558 BADBOY.CA Personal touches turn a house into a home. Hanging pictures, whether they're personal pho- tographs or artwork, can really change the character of a room. Unfortunately, some people may not know the proper ways to display pictures on a wall. Design maven Martha Stewart advises that the first step is to gather all of the pic- tures that are in consideration for hanging. This will enable a person to see what is available and edit their selection based on the space available, theme or colour scheme. Having the artwork there enables a person to move it around like a puzzle until the placement feels just right. Next, plan on hanging artwork at 57 inches on center, according to the renovation experts at Apart- ment Therapy. "On center" means the middle of the photograph or painting will always be at 57", as this measurement represents the average human eye height. This height is regularly used as a stan- dard in many galleries and muse- ums. When the goal is to hang multiple pictures, treat the entire grouping as a single unit. This means cre- ating the layout and finding the center of the middle piece of the grouping. To make picture group- ing easier, use paper templates with arrows to indicate whether the artwork will be hung horizontally or vertically. These templates can then be easily taped to the wall and rearranged until the grouping is ideal. There are no hard and fast rules concerning frames, meaning they do not all have to match. But plac- ing framed artwork side by side can give a person a feel for wheth- er the images and the frames work together in the space. Some peo- ple like to use frames of similar colours and sizes. Others want the eclectic mix-and-match appeal. It's ultimately up to the homeowner. Measuring is key to hanging a picture correctly on the wall. Take into consideration the type of attachment, whether it's D- rings, sawtooth hangers, wire, or other fasteners on the back. Measure from the top of the frame to the hanger. Measure the wall to achieve the 57" on center location, and then calcu- late where this falls within the height of the ar twork and frame top. Adjust accordingly and mark. Then measure the dis- tance from the frame top to the hanger location on the wall. Be sure to take the weight of the picture into consideration when selecting hanging hard- ware. Wall anchors may be need- ed if measurements determine a wall stud will not help secure the ar twork -- to keep the frame sturdy in the drywall. Home im- provement resource Today's Homeowner also suggests using self-adhesive rubber bumpers to the bottom corners on the back of the frame before hanging so that the picture will not damage the wall and will help it hang level. It can take a few attempts to hang pictures correctly, but with practice it should come with greater ease. The good news is there are new products con- stantly being evolved to make picture hanging easier, including those that enable removal and relocation of ar twork without damaging walls.
