Tips & Tricks: How To Hang A Collage Wall


Artwork is a great way to spruce up any room. But, have you ever found yourself standing in front of a blank wall with multiple pieces of art and no idea how to hang them? Fear not, my dear friends! I've got some tips and tricks that will make your artwork look like it was hung by a professional (or, at the very least, a competent person).


Method #1: The Grid


One way to create a cohesive look is to hang your artwork in a grid pattern. Use a measuring tape and level to make sure all your pieces are spaced evenly apart. It'll look like a perfect little gallery...except for that one time you hung it crooked and it looked like a haunted house instead.


Method #2: The Gallery Wall


Who needs a gallery when you can create one in your own home? The gallery wall method allows you to mix and match different size pieces of artwork. Lay out your art on the floor and play around with the arrangement until you find the perfect combination. Just don't forget to measure twice and hang once, especially if your artistic talents don't extend to straight lines.


Method #3: The Eclectic Wall


If you're feeling adventurous, the eclectic method might be for you. This method combines different styles and sizes of art to create a dynamic and edgy wall. Think mixing classic portraits with modern pieces or adding in some 3D art. It's like a party on your wall and everyone's invited...except for Aunt Edna, she's still not over that time you hung that painting she hated.


Now, let's talk about the aesthetic of a collage art wall. This style allows you to create a cohesive look while still showcasing individual pieces. By clustering artwork together, you can create a stunning focal point in any room. And, let's be real, there's nothing quite as satisfying as arranging a bunch of different pieces and stepping back to admire your work...even if it is just a wall.


So, whether you go with the grid, gallery, or eclectic method, remember to measure twice and hang once...or just wing it and hope for the best. After all, art is subjective and it's supposed to be fun, not stressful. Happy hanging!
