How to curate and hang a gallery wall?
When
I was younger I used to watch my mom and her sisters hang art in their homes.
It was always an occasion when one of them wanted to redecorate and finally hang
their wall art. They used to all gather at whoever's home was changing things
around and over a cup of coffee, share opinions on just how the art should be
hung. Not too high, not too low, never in the center of a room. It was fun to
watch it all happen and I suppose some of their opinions rubbed off on me, as I
always find myself silently critiquing the way art is hung. So when the folks
at Society 6 asked if we'd be interested in curating a gallery of wall art,
myself and our art-deprived walls jumped at the chance.
We've
always been big fans of Society 6 and
their artists and we love that you can not only order your prints from them, but
that you can choose to get them framed as well or even order canvas versions.
With this project we ordered both and were impressed with the quality, and it
was super easy!
There
are a few guidelines we go by when selecting art for our walls. Although in
many cases, art is a personal choice; sometimes it can be a difficult process
even for the well-seasoned decorator. Here are a few tips if you're struggling
curating and hanging a collection.
