Room design made easy: here's how to find the ideal picture position
When you have ordered several Pixum Wall Prints, you might find it hard to find them the right position, especially at first glance. After all, everything should be sitting straight, because once hole in the wall has been drilled, it becomes difficult to move the pictures around again. There are some simple tricks which you can use to make your task easier.
Memories kept for ever
The 'arrangement on the floor' test
First, consider what kind of look you want to achieve. Possible variants include:
- gallery-like style: All wall prints are hung up on their upper edge, regardless of their size
- sorted by size: Several differently sized pictures are sorted, for example, from left to right according to their size, or a large piece is flanked by smaller ones
- Petersburg hanging: Symmetrical arrangement of numerous prints in different sizes, often together with a rectangular shape
- patterned: The overall picture has a certain form, e.g. letters (I <3 U), a clock or even a staircase
- golden ratio: arrange all wall prints at a height of 5/8 of the total height of the wall
To imagine the effect of the pictures better, place them on the floor, try out different options, take photos of the arrangements and decide how you wall should look like after a lovely cup of tea.
Work from the middle outwards
Once you are sure to have found the best height for your pictures, especially if you've decided for the golden ratio wall gallery, you can also determine the horizontal layout and you can then get started. Our tip: Always hang the pictures in the centre of the wall and then work your way out, to the left and to the right. Small inaccuracies are not too troublesome.
