Question 1

How do I arrange my wall art?

Accepted Answer

Start by deciding where you want to hang your wall art. Large walls need to be filled. Small pieces of wall art on large surfaces can look lost and isolated, so don&rsquo;t be afraid to opt for more sizable pieces. Another great option is to create a grouping of pieces, and a spacious wall allows you to spread them out. Smaller areas are the perfect places to display your more petite pieces of wall art. These can also be utilized in a cluster as a gallery wall.   A good rule is to hang wall art so that its center is at eye level for easy viewing. Also consider the furniture when hanging a piece of wall decor. From an aesthetic standpoint, a wall decor arrangement should usually be no wider than the piece of furniture it hangs over.   When deciding how to arrange wall art, you&rsquo;ll also want to consider the layout. A symmetrical wall art arrangement is traditional and formal. It may comprise a grid of pieces or, for an odd number of pieces, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements have a more collected and modern feel. They may be different sizes of wall art that will be a showstopper in any room. Both approaches enable you to mix your wall art pieces of different sizes, styles, and orientations, as well as frames of different types and widths.

Question 2

How do I hang wall art without nails?

Accepted Answer

There are several ways to hang wall art without nails. Photo tiles are a great option for those who can&rsquo;t use nails on their walls. Our stickable photo tiles come with an adhesive strip back, making it easy to hang your prints without the wall damage. Shutterfly&rsquo;s personalized photo tiles are easy to hang on any wall in your home.The sticky adhesive pads won't leave a mark, allowing you to stick and restick the custom tiles to create different photo arrangements as much as you like.   To hang wall art pieces like canvas prints, framed prints, or metal wall art without nails, consider using adhesive strips that won&rsquo;t damage your walls. You can also take advantage of bookshelves or mantles and display your wall art so it can lean instead of hanging them with nails. These display styles are just as effective and will look stylish in any living space. Hanging wall art without nails is perfect for renters or dorm rooms, and will make your wall art easier to change out as you make new memories and take new photos you want to display.
