Hanging paintings
Hanging paintings can be a bit tricky if you haven't done it before. With a few simple tips, you will cope much better!
To begin with, you need to decide where – i.e. the size of the wall, what paintings and in what shape do you think If you have many paintings and many layers, color grouping can be something that affects the final result. Sometimes you may have to replace some frames to get a harmonious impression. Too many different colors and materials can feel stressful to look at.
Depending on your likes and tastes, as well as the types of paintings you have, you start by deciding roughly what shape you want
The easiest way is to plan your picture wall on the floor. Here you can easily try different variants until you have included all the paintings you want
When you're happy with the overall look, check measurements before you start, so it will fit on the wall
When you are done with the shape of your picture wall and feel unsure how it will look on the wall, you can tape up colored paper that corresponds to all the pictures
The entire picture wall (or the picture if there is only one) should be in the eye. The most common mistake I see is hanging pictures too high. A rule of thumb is that you should look straight ahead at the board, i.e. your gaze should be approximately 2/3 of the board's height. Slightly higher if you are short, and slightly lower if you are tall
Ready-made picture walls can usually be built quite easily over time if needed
A simple trick is to tape masking tape directly over the board's suspension - especially when there is more than one, mark with a pencil and then tape the tape to the wall so you measure exactly where to drill
Always use a spirit level when taping to the wall to drill

For slightly lighter paintings, I can recommend 3M's nail-free tapes. It actually holds up quite well, as long as you can attach the tape well to the board itself. I think it's nice to have pictures in the bathroom, and there it's perfect because you don't want to drill into the tile
