Whats the best way to go about hanging a group of pictures?
A good way to think about a group of pictures is to treat them as one large picture made up of movable interior elements. You first determine the overall size of the imaginary rectangle on your wall that you want to fill and then experiment moving around the individual pictures within that rectangle until you arrive at an arrangement that is pleasing. You can do this by laying all the pictures out on the floor and trying out various combinations before putting that first hook in the wall. Another trick is to duplicate the shapes and sizes of the pictures to be hung using kraft or construction paper and move these paper templates around on the wall before you start hanging the real thing. Make sure to allow enough space between pictures. The number-one mistake we see in picture groupings is a lack of “breathing room” between pictures.
