With small works, you can do groupings in smaller spaces.

You can also go online; we sell tons online now. There are lots of online shops. And if they have a physical location, you can go to see the pieces you like in person. Again, if you start small, it&#8217;s less intimidating. You can also check end-of-year shows at art schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>What missteps do homeowners make when choosing art?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, people tend to hang art too high: it should be at average eye level. And I wouldn&#8217;t \u201cdecorate\u201d with art because your spaces are going to change. Buying art to match your walls is a backward way to do it. You&#8217;ll end up not liking your art five years later. If you buy art you love, it will move with you from home to home. Styles and trends will change; art you love will outlast all of that.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/wahi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Let-it-All-Hang-Out-Sitting-room.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Picture frames on the wall&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Let-it-All-Hang-Out-Sitting-room&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|32px|32px|32px|32px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||6px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"at-text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t try to match art to your decor, and be sure to hang it at eye level.<\/span><br \/><at-text aem-data=\"{&quot;textSize&quot;:&quot;body4&quot;,&quot;textColour&quot;:&quot;black&quot;,&quot;isReducedWidth&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;textIsRich&quot;:[true,true],&quot;textFont&quot;:&quot;lato&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;u003cpu003eTop tack pleats hung on a Frech return rod with oil-rubbed bronze hardware. u003c\/pu003ern&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;id-F907224055A969359B910433BAC2888A&quot;}\" class=\"rwc\"><\/at-text><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;1.25rem&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.88rem&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;1.25rem&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.88rem&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><b>What are your tips for hanging art in groupings?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lay the pieces down on the floor in front of the wall you&#8217;re going to use. You want to keep the spacing quite tight, two to four inches between the pieces. You\u2019re trying to create a balance between the different colours and shapes. The pieces don&#8217;t necessarily have to go together in terms of colour or subject. You can move them around and see what works best. You&#8217;re not filling the wall, you&#8217;re creating vignettes. Once you\u2019ve found a configuration you like, you can hang them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/wahi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Let-it-All-Hang-Out-frames.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Picture frames on the wall&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Let-it-All-Hang-Out-frames&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;40px||||false|false&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|32px|32px|32px|32px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||6px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"at-text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When hanging pieces of art close together, be sure to allow for two to four inches between each piece.<\/span><br \/><at-text aem-data=\"{&quot;textSize&quot;:&quot;body4&quot;,&quot;textColour&quot;:&quot;black&quot;,&quot;isReducedWidth&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;textIsRich&quot;:[true,true],&quot;textFont&quot;:&quot;lato&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;u003cpu003eTop tack pleats hung on a Frech return rod with oil-rubbed bronze hardware. u003c\/pu003ern&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;id-F907224055A969359B910433BAC2888A&quot;}\" class=\"rwc\"><\/at-text><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;1.25rem&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.88rem&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;1.25rem&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.88rem&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><b>It sounds like you&#8217;re encouraging people to have confidence in what feels right to them.\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolutely.
