Sometimes it is getting the picture onto location that proves the challenge when faced with an elevator that is not large enough to accomodation the frames.

This beautiful original painting in two pieces hangs in the offices of Bay Psychology. The painting has lots of incredible details and now creates a more relaxed setting and background for conversations.

Tip 9: You can’t beat a white background to hang your pictures and art on for best effect. Although, this is not to say that when faced with a busy wall paper or a feature wall with dark colours you couldn't try and utilise, for example, well-chosen framing and photo mounts to highlight your picture or rely on contrast and arrangement of varying artworks in a montage.

I hope this info helps you, and of course, you can always call me to take the hassle out of hanging your pictures because hanging pictures is my specialty.

Tip 8: Have you got a trio of paintings or photos, a so called triptych, to hang? Artists and photographers often like to use the triptych style for the visual impact and extended ability to “tell a story” spread across three pieces, and thus as a picture hanger I come across them regularly.

Triptychs work best if you hang them in line and with narrowish gaps (or even no gaps) - accuracy is key (for help with accuracy have a look at my Tips 2 and 2A on my page here).

I hope this info helps you, and of course, you can always call me to take the hassle out of hanging your pictures because hanging pictures is my specialty.

Never a dull moment at my picture hanging “offices”. It always amazes me what artworks people acquire and ask me to hang.

Here are two wooden leaves that subtly blend into the overall appearance of this lovely dining room area, with a combination of wooden furniture, indoor plants and a textured wall paper.

Tip 7: Why not hang pictures or artworks around a corner. Achieve a “surprising” look by using the corner of a room. It is best to do this with items that supplement each other and have similar size. With ceramics you can even create a bit of a fun look.

I hope this info helps you, and of course, you can always call me to take the hassle out of hanging your pictures because hanging pictures is my specialty.

Tip 6: Don't hang everything. No doubt as a picture hanger I would love to hang every single item. However, sometimes leaning a picture on the wall, on top of a shelf or sideboard, or on a picture bar might just be the ticket. "Leaners" can contribute to a less formal appearance and instead add a more causally relaxed and varied atmosphere to a room.

I hope this info helps you, and of course, you can always call me to take the hassle out of hanging your pictures because hanging pictures is my specialty, yet if appropriate I am very happy to recommend a “leaner”.

Tricky scenarios in need of creative solutions.

I got a powerful drill that can deal with solid concrete walls. However, if the previous owner has already left an assortment of screws and holes in the wall it might be better to not add more holes but to find a way of using the existing screws in the wall.

Unfortunately, here the three screws were in unfavourable locations and sort of randomly arranged. The scenario asked for a creative solutions, which was achieved with the right set up being prepared on the picture frame itself. Now all looks hunky dory and no unsightly screw holes are visible and no new holes were needed in this concrete wall.

Tip 5: Have a Reason for placement.

Whenever you hang a picture it is preferable that it has a reason why it hangs where it hangs. And that reason shouldn’t be because the previous home owner left you a hook on the wall. I like to reason with symmetry, balance and cohesive/sympathetic appearance to tie in with the room and furniture.

I hope this info helps you, and of course, you can always call me to take the hassle out of hanging your pictures because hanging pictures is my specialty.

Tip 4: Have you got a special picture or piece of art that is dear to your heart? Then there is only one place where it can go - a special place.

For example, if the piece is of a private nature, your bed room might be the place. If it is representative of who you are, your entrance hall might be the place. If it is a talking point, your lounge might be the place. But wherever your statement picture goes, the wall size needs to fit the picture size to allow it to shine and tell its story.

I hope this info helps you, and of course, you can always call me to take the hassle out of hanging your pictures, because hanging pictures is my specialty.

When hanging pictures and artworks, one of the most important places in your house is the entrance area. How and what you hang there can tell an important story about yourself and your family by way of first impressions and personal expression.

It is well worth spending a bit of time planning how to give your entryway the flow and balance that represents your personal style. A professional picture hanger can help your plan comes to fruition :-)

PS: I will return to my picture hanging tips series in the next post.
