We discussed some of the basics regarding hanging your new My Pop Art piece in your home. Now we’ll get a little more specific. Hanging your art correctly is almost as important as the artwork itself. If you don’t set the piece correctly, you’re not doing the most you can to optimize not only the artwork itself, but the look of your room.

You don’t have to be an interior designer but it is helpful to know specifically how to hang your My Pop Artwork so its shown off in all its bold glory! Here are some more pointers to consider when hanging:

In general, artwork should be hung so that the center point of the picture or grouping is at about eye level for the average person. While this won’t be possible in every situation, it’s a good guideline to keep in mind.

Another technique to remember is that a grouping of pictures should be thought of as one unit. Test an arrangement of pictures by laying everything out on a large table (or on the floor), playing with combinations until you hit upon one that works. Laying them out on paper is even better since you’ll be able to trace around each object and determine where picture hangers should be installed. Tape the paper up on the wall as a template for picture hangers and you’ll be done in no time.

You can also lay out pieces of scrap molding (or tape) onto the floor to form the “outside” boundaries of a picture grouping — the measurements within which the smaller pieces of art will be set. This is useful when a particular wall has certain boundaries that must be observed (such as a chair rail, windows, heating vents, and the like) and helps keep your arrangement the proper size.

Now that you know some of the specifics, hang your Pop Art piece correctly and with pride. Its bound to show off any room in your house.
