Welcome to the exciting moment of adding a new masterpiece to your space! Hanging your canvas wall art is not just about adding a visual delight to your room; it’s about expressing your style, creating an atmosphere, and making your space truly yours. Here at Khayos Art, we want this step to be as smooth and enjoyable as the selection of your art piece. Follow our simple guide to ensure your art is displayed beautifully and securely.
What You'll Need
A pencil
A measuring tape
A level
Wall hooks or nails (consider using picture hanging hooks for heavier pieces)
A hammer (if nails are your choice)
Optional: wall anchors for extra support in drywall
Step 1: Choose the Perfect Spot
Lighting and visibility are key. Natural light brings out the colors of your art, but direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Artificial lighting, like spotlights, can also enhance your artwork. Consider the wall space and room where your art will have the best impact, and make sure it's visible at eye level for an engaging view.
Step 2: Measure and Mark
Measure the height of your canvas and decide on the ideal hanging point, usually a quarter to a third of the way down from the top. On the wall, measure the height from the floor to where the top of your canvas will be. Mark lightly with a pencil where the hook or nail should go.
Step 3: Install the Hook or Nail
If you’re using a nail, gently hammer it into the wall at a slight angle upwards. For heavier pieces, picture hanging hooks or wall anchors provide extra support and keep your art secure. Follow the instructions on the package for installation.
Step 4: Hang and Level
Carefully hang your canvas on the hook or nail. Use a level to ensure the artwork is perfectly horizontal. Adjustments might be necessary, but a little patience goes a long way in making your art look its best.
Step 5: Step Back and Enjoy
Take a step back to admire your work. Your new canvas wall art not only adds beauty to your space but also reflects your personal style. It’s more than just decoration; it’s a statement.
For large or heavy pieces, consider using two hooks to distribute the weight evenly.
Avoid hanging your art in places with high humidity or temperature changes to preserve its quality.
Use wall protectors on the back corners of the canvas to prevent scuffing and to keep the artwork level.
