The paintings stand out mainly because they capture our attention immediately. They can be used intentionally to guide our eyes to a wall or an area. Any error or imbalance in the distribution will be quickly noticed by the observer’s eye and will impact on the perception of the overall decor.

(In this room you can see a distribution of rare paintings while observing, mostly, the rules we have in this section. Pay attention to how the pictures capture our attention as linear and balanced distribution serves as a design)

Hang pictures by area

As the pictures to our attention, a method for hanging the pictures are organized by areas. The areas are constructed from a picture or a group of frames, for example: a large painting on the couch without a contest too close, a informal group of paintings of various sizes to attract our attention for its dynamism, a line of boxes all the same size, etc..

Not art gallery

Some people have the habit of an atmosphere saturated with paintings and other decorations. As the view moves directly to the box should have few points of attention, but well defined. To avoid saturation should be aware that the elements involved in a decoration should be limited to the project, and the pictures look better if distributed by areas. It is always wise to put a few pictures that clutter the room making an unpleasant effect. Avoid the walls Paresce an art gallery. Do not deploy boxes on all the walls without any order. Remember that the best way to hang pictures is to generate visual areas defined.

The height

A basic rule is to keep distribution frame at the height of the observer, at eye level. Hang pictures too high forcing the point of view is not a good choice. He says the best way to enjoy a picture is when viewed from a sitting position. If it is placed too high may appear to float in little relation to the environment.

The imaginary line

The height of tables in a room must be coherent. You should be able to draw an imaginary line crossing the middle of all the pictures. Unless you want to achieve a particular effect, the tables have to stay all at an average height of the ground.
