The Ultimate Guide to Picture Hanging: A Professional Approach by Easy Going Handyman LLC
Hanging pictures may seem simple, but doing it right takes skill, precision, and the right tools. As a handyman service, we understand how the proper placement of art and photos can transform a room. Here’s a complete guide to picture hanging, so your home or office space looks flawless.
Why Hire a Professional for Picture Hanging?
Picture hanging involves more than just finding a nail and hammering it into the wall. Professionals ensure:
- Perfect Placement: Whether you’re hanging a single piece or creating a gallery wall, positioning is key. We measure with precision to ensure every piece is level and balanced.
- Wall Type Consideration: Different wall types (drywall, plaster, brick, etc.) require different hanging techniques. We have the tools and knowledge to choose the correct anchors, ensuring your art is securely fastened.
- Weight Distribution: Heavy mirrors or art pieces need more than just a simple nail. We use specialized hardware, like French cleats or heavy-duty anchors, to prevent accidents.
- Aesthetic Balance: We don’t just hang pictures; we make sure they fit your room’s layout, working with your furniture placement and eye level for a pleasing look.
Picture Hanging Tips from the Experts
- Measure Twice, Hang Once: Always measure your space to determine the best height. As a rule of thumb, the center of the artwork should be at eye level—typically 57 to 60 inches from the floor.
- Consider Groupings: When hanging multiple pictures, start by laying them out on the floor. Use painters’ tape to visualize their arrangement on the wall before drilling.
- Use the Right Tools: A good level, stud finder, and measuring tape are essential. Always choose hooks or anchors rated for the weight of the piece you’re hanging.
- Protect Your Walls: We use non-damaging hanging techniques whenever possible. Avoid unnecessary holes with the right planning and tools.
- Think About Lighting: Ensure your artwork is well-lit. Natural light or additional spotlighting can make your artwork pop, adding to the aesthetic of your room.
