Mastering Wall Art Framing and Mounting

Wall art is like the icing on a cake—it can turn a plain room into something special. But just like a cake needs the right plate, your art needs the right frame and hanging method to shine. Whether you’re a pro or just starting, this guide will help you pick the perfect frame and hang your art like an expert.

Picking the Perfect Frame

Think of a frame like a picture’s outfit—it can make or break the look. You want a frame that matches your art’s style. Metal frames are like a sleek suit for modern art, while wooden frames are like a cozy sweater for classic pieces.

The Magic of Matting

Matting is like a picture’s personal bodyguard—it keeps your art safe and makes it look even better. Pick a mat color that either stands out or blends in with your art, but doesn’t steal the show.

Hanging Your Art Like a Pro

How you hang your art depends on its size and weight, just like choosing the right hook for a heavy coat. Light art can use sticky strips, while heavy pieces need strong wall anchors—like using a nail instead of tape for a winter coat.

Getting It Just Right

Hang your art at eye level, like you’re shaking hands with it. Use a level to keep it straight, and always measure twice—because nobody likes a crooked picture!
