Bring Your Space To Life With A Picture Hanging Service

There are many benefits, some of them unexpected, to hanging pictures in your home or workplace. Art on the wall creates a striking first impression, a focal point for the room and an icebreaker for conversations. It adds unique style and personality, can tell a story and can even improve the mood and mental health of your family, colleagues or employees. Yet displaying an artwork at its best requires precision, expertise and attention to detail – all the qualities a good picture hanging service brings.

As South East Queensland’s original mobile framing and picture hanging service, Mobile Frames 2 U can offer you beautiful and secure hanging without you even needing to leave your home, office or gallery. If you’re in Brisbane, Toowoomba, the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast, we can come to your doorstep and take you through our picture framing and hanging options.

Naturally, you want to showcase your artwork at its best and display it in a way that protects and preserves it. Here are some professional picture hanging tips for displaying your art, as well as some spaces you can enhance with the right images.

Professional picture hanging tips

 Here are some pieces of advice to get you started when it comes to decorating your own wall with the right pictures and frames:

Hang at eye level

While there’s definitely personal preference involved in the height you choose to hang your pictures, many experts recommend 57 to 60 inches from the centre of the frame to the floor, or roughly eye-level. It’s possible to hang a picture too high, compromising the balance and the aesthetics of the room and forcing your guests to crane their necks to admire it.

Find common themes between artwork

If you’re hanging different photographs or artworks in a group, linking them by look, mood, tone or thematic connection (e.g. black and white colour scheme, ocean aesthetics, summer holidays etc.) makes for a more cohesive look.

Work with your furnishings

The furniture and decorations in your room play a part in the overall look and should be factored in when you’re hanging your pictures. Your artwork (or collection of multiple artworks) should be 2/3 the size of the object you’re displaying it near, whether that’s a couch or a cabinet. Choose artwork that fits the colour scheme of the room as well.

The right frames are important

Make sure the frames are not only well-made and secure, but that they complement each other, the artworks and the overall look of the room itself. While there’s room for mixing and matching, too much contrast can become chaotic and overwhelming.

 Where you can hang your pictures

 A picture hanging service can enhance both the aesthetic appeal and the functionality of several spaces including:

Your home

Pictures add visual appeal and personality to household areas like your bedroom and living room and make your house feel more uniquely you. They fill empty walls with something interesting and allow you to decorate your home with your memories.

Your workplace

Framed pictures in the workplace can create a more calming environment for employees and make them feel happier and more productive. They can also reflect the brand values and mission statement of your company, helping you make a strong first impression on new clients and customers.

Retail stores

Artwork in retail stores help to create an immersive experience and a stimulating atmosphere. They can entice customers to stop, check them out and spend more time in your store, increasing the chance of a purchase. Pictures can also be placed in a strategic fashion to help guide customers through the store.

Hospitality or event space

Art on the walls takes the ambience of a restaurant or event space to the next level: setting the mood, providing cultural context and making for a more satisfying experience on the whole.
