Hang Them Up

Hanging things on your walls can be intimidating sometimes, especially when you have a number of things to hang.  But we found a guideline that we think can help.  It can be challenging, if not daunting, when you have so many things you would like to hang on your walls and no idea about how to go about it without creating something that looks like there was an explosion, or that you gave a five year old a hammer and nails and invited him to hang things up.

How to hang them, what configuration, knowing how to create interesting groups can be very helpful as you figure out how to hang family photos or art work on your walls.  So here is simple guideline from lightersideofrealestate.com :

Seeing which style you prefer, and knowing what looks and feels most appealing to you can help you make the decision:

Once you’ve decided what you want to hang and how you think you want to arrange them, it is a good idea to first cut a template of each piece and then tape them all up to see if you like the way the arrangement looks.  This could save you from making a mistake and putting unwanted nail holes in your walls.

Take the challenge and frame those photos you love or that artwork you’ve had in the attic or basement.  Using your wall space to display things that make you happy is just one more way to spread more love, more joy and that sense of abundant living in your home 🙂
