Arrangement for displaying two wall arts

When displaying two wall arts, you can make them look more stylish by arranging them on the wall according to the size of the arts.

Let’s take a look at the case where the two wall arts are the same size and the case where the arts are different sizes.

Same size arts

Hang the them at eye level when you are standing.

Displaying two wall arts of the same size close together creates a stylish impression.
Choosing the same type of picture and the same color for the frames will create a clean interior.

If two wall arts are the same size, they can be displayed at a distance from each other.

For medium-sized or small arts, it is stylish to hang two arts on the wall on different levels.

When hanging two arts on different levels, use eye level as the standard.
Place one art a little higher than eye level and the other a little lower.

Different sizes of arts

When displaying wall arts of different sizes, leave enough space between them.

If the two wall arts are too close together, the difference in size will be noticeable and unbalanced.

When two arts are displayed with enough space between them, the difference in size is less noticeable and is not recommended.

Arrangement of three arts

When hanging three arts on the wall, it is important to determine the placement of the three arts while keeping a good balance between them.

It is a good idea to hang the arts while imagining a space like a fashionable gallery.

The arts are the same size

Decorating three wall arts side by side creates a sophisticated gallery-like space.

If the arts are the same size, hanging them close together creates a sense of unity.

When hanging on a large wall, make sure there is a wide space between the arts.

If you hang arts on a stairway or other place with steps, you can hang the three arts on different levels.

Different sizes of arts

When displaying three wall arts of different sizes, leave enough space between them.

The space between the arts will make them look balanced, even though they are of different sizes.

Arrangement of small arts

When hanging a small art in a room, it is recommended to hang it on a wall above furniture such as a console table, cabinet or shelf, or on a narrow horizontal wall separated by a window or door.

If you hang a small art on a wide wall, it is best to hang two or more arts side by side.
