Painting Hanging Tips

1. Hang the painting at eye level. A common mistake people make is to hang the painting too high. Hanging the work at eye level ensures that the viewer is able to take in the whole picture without too much effort.
2. If you have a large space on the wall, you could either hang a single big painting or a collection of smaller paintings to fit the space. Hanging a single small painting in a big blank wall would look awkward.
3. To make a room look larger, try hanging a painting that has a distant horizon. If your ceiling is too high, opt for a painting that has a wide horizon that would prevent the viewer from gazing upwards. Likewise, if you have a low ceiling choose a painting that has strong verticals. Also, a dark room can be made to look lighter with a large light coloured painting.
4. Do not hang unsealed paintings over fireplaces. The smoke could lead to you build up on your painting.


The Star (L’Étoile,1878) is probably one of Edgar Degas’s most famous works. The elevated point of view for this painting and the pale shadows the light casts are its highlights. The majority of works by Edgar Degas portray ballerinas and though his style resembles Impressionist, Degas was never fond of the Impressionist Movement.
