This was an excellent presentation. I worked in an art gallery as a custom framer and you gave great advice. I would add that you should always add bumpons to the frame, use 2 picture hangars for large pieces, and consider not using glass for large pictures - ultra-violet coated acrylic will save you a lot of trouble.

Ultra violet coated acrylic? should my local frame shop carry this? is it cheaper than glass?

@@PoshPennies thank you for these tips. I have a big clock 60 cm or 23-24’’ in diameter. Can I apply the same tips to hang it on the wall like the art work? I want to hang two big frames near it as well since it is the only wall in my living room that allows me to hang something (the rest of the walls have big windows, big doors)

You’re the first person I’ve seen discuss the style of the frames - makes a huge difference! Simplicity and consistency in frames for a serene or contemporary space! Great video.

Empty walls are the worst, you're totally right!

Thank you. Thank you. And thank you.

She lays out everything so simply. I love it. Ive learned so much watching her videos in the last 20 minutes lol. The examples are great.

I love your videos! This is one of the few KZread channels where I go back and rewatch the videos several times because I enjoy them and they’re so helpful. I’m guilty of white walls at the moment, so this was very timely.

I love the calm and clear way that you deliver. This is such a helpful video! Thank you

Thank you. You’re so straight forward and thorough! I love it!

This video has come at the perfect time!!! No one talks about this and it’s just changed the atmosphere of my place!!!

the "off track part" 3:40 was literally the exact topic i was curious about. Printing stuff you've bought at etsy or elsewhere.

I don’t even speak English but I can tell you are a truly inspiration. Thanks for all the videos it has helped me so much.

Love your content! I gained a lot more confidence in interior design after perusing your videos. Tysm for sharing! Keep up the excellent work!

A running argument in my family so they got your video this morning.😊 Love your channel. Just started watching; nice to get advice that reflects professional decorating principles.

Great job! You have are gifted at not only design but also explaining why things work or don’t 😊

I love your channel so much!! You explain everything so good - thank you

I love the way wrapped canvas art looks so I have all my art in that style, i have a very playful style and i love how I feel looking at each piece of art in the house :)

Thank you, Vivien! There's so much to learn!!!!!🙄😁

How did I miss your video?! Great tips as always 💚 I'm still surprised that it's not 1M subs since you are one of the best out there (at least in my eyes 😊)

Yes!! She's a hidden gem. Love your clean presentation.. and so much good information.

I really appreciate the practical, concise information in this video. Cheers!

Perfect advice! I start watercolor painting next month and that way I can "stop that" and have some art on my walls!!

Thank you very much for this. I do my own paintings and want them up on the wall gallery-wall style - your advice sounds very professional and I will definitely be guided by it as I create my walls.

Your content is on another level!

Thank you! This was so helpful, you offer such awesome and practical advice. I am so bad at hanging stuff up, I have artwork that I bought 5 years ago and its still waiting to be mounted up. Meanwhile all my walls are bare. I guess I'm so afraid of getting it wrong, now I have very specific details so I am going to go for it. Thanks a Million!!! Love all your videos :)

This is good. Now I know how to hang my pictures. Thank you!

This was insanely helpful.. thank you! Subscribed!

Hi - I'm a new sub, love how straightforward your videos are. Could you make a video about any tips you may have for choosing the best frame style/color according to your design style and art? That would be super helpful! Thank you.

Sound and succinct. Excellent video.

thank you! this is so informative!

after watching at how designers and DIYers etc design has evolved over the years I can say that it doesn't matter at all. look at lone fox or macenna or many more popular people on youtube, they are designing such simple and livable spaces now. that is perfect. do what makes you happy (and not cartoonish at the same time). you live in your house not others. thanks.

Really great information on hanging pics Thank You

Wow I love the thumbnail art!!

Very helpful-thanks!

Thank you so much for the amazing videos

Great advice!

Thank you, beautiful video

Such great tips!!!

Great video ❤, i used to buy digital artwork from site like etsy or pituuta then got it printed and framed from local shop, it was very cost effective and my walls look very beautiful

I am definitely one that has been afraid of hanging pictures on the walls. Naked walls for almost 4 years now!! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Hi...love your channel....this is a great subject! My father taught me when I was a teenager how to properly hang artwork. I live in a home with 9.5-10’ ceilings....I have one spot right now I am just stuck on🤔 When you walk through our front door the foyer is odd in that there is about 6’ and you meet our stairs that are open to the right with a narrow hallway that ends with a closet which used to be an ugly bifold door which is now a regular size door which is legitimately old and has a glass top with a pretty frosted decoration in the center.....we added shelves to the inside that I can open and close from inside the closet ( it’s a deep coat closet) that fixed that problem! I can fit a narrow buffet in the Hall with a print above it.....now I have a huge wall to the left as you go up the stairs.....basically opens 2 stories. It’s kind of hard to figure right height bc you are so close to the wall. I have five grandchildren and I was thinking of having photos of each there...would you mount them in a stair step fashion or in some sort of grouping? So sorry for my book to get to my question! We also have a 5’x4’ chunky pretty floral we just took out our bedroom...what are your thoughts.,,,any advice would be appreciated 😊kim

Love this video because get to the points right away. Very helpful. Would you show us about how to do family pictures on the hallway? No one talk about it

Thank you! This video is a big help for me, as I will be hanging pictures on newly painted walls in the not-too-distant future.

Exactly what I was looking for: practically, mathematical and logical tips. Thanks so much!

love it!

Love how clear and detailed your information is! Just subscribed to your channel. If you get a chance in the future, would appreciate a video on how to hang artwork to get the professional look. Am also confused between Command strips and regular hanging hardware. I also have a few flat canvas art pieces that I'd love to put in a frame but not sure how to. Thanks!

thanks. great tips

A fan I am from 🇨🇦 Love the manner in which you speak.

You've doubled your number of subscribers since this video. Congrats! / I have a lot of anxiety around putting art on the walls. I'm hoping to create an art wall.

Great video .👍

I see so many pics of art work or mirrors just sitting on the mantel. I wasn't sure that I liked that and now I know I don't. I had finally found a pic of Manhattan...a nice watercolor with glass. One day I heard a loud crash, as it hit the floor, shattering the glass and breaking the frame. I spent more to get it re-framed than what I paid for the pic. No more leaning on anything! Expensive mistake!

Great topic! I have a request for a topic you haven't covered yet and that is alternatives to bathroom tiles. I would love to one day have a bathroom with preferably no tiles at all and I would like to hang pictures on the wall in the bathroom too.

It is super helpful video. My problem is I have so many pieces of art work to hang on the wall that my walls are almost full. I also mix frame colors, white, black and some silvery metallic frames. I sometimes feel overwhelmed by it.

Terrific !!

The hint of warmth in some of the greys in the monotone, metal framed assemblage, makes a lot of difference. Like in the eyeball drawing on the right. The greys are under-stated and work well.

love it! thanx

Thanks 😊

Thank youuuuuu

Interestingly, how low or high a picture hangs tends to also be connected to socioeconomic status. The higher the economic level, the lower pictures hang, and vice-versa, in the modern era. This has been observed not only in the western world but also in other regions. I’ve not come across an explanation as to why this is the case, but I’ve observed this consistently in my travels.

Maybe rich people have higher ceilings in their homes. So the art always tends to be lower.. closer to eye level.

My best guess: If you don't have the funds to easily replace accidentally damaged art, you will subconsciously hang it higher up (out of harm's way). Our art sadly has to hang quite high right now as we lack the funds for a nanny to supervise our very active toddler... we also don't have space to store it any other way till the kid is older and (hopefully) calmer, so for now we are stuck like that.

Great tips.

What are your thoughts on using mounts in frames vs having prints right up to the frame - and should these be consistent across all prints e.g on a gallery wall - or able to mix and match some with mounts / white space and others not?

Nice very helpful video

Nice tips

I love my empty walls! With that being said... I also love the only painting I currently have up in my living room. But I also have a thing for wallpaper with prints so I have walls with that as "art". Love looking at my wallpaper with turquoise birds 😂

That bedroom at 2:33 is everything that I want!

Loved this video! So many great tips ❤️My biggest mistake when I hang pictures is being completely unable to put nails in the wall but I blame British brick houses 😂😂

I used plastic hanging hooks (can't recall the make... and these are in the UK) which have 4 short pins protruding from them. They bang happily into brick AND if you do need to remove them, wiggle them free, tap the pins back and you're ready to go again. Minimal damage to walls too. Just 4 wee holes to fill! P.S. I've used masonry nails for brick walls too. They work!

Ok height exceptions in my house are above the fireplace mantle large wood sculpture or metal sculpture, above doorways small wood sculptures just for fun like a rose. It will look like it is sitting on top of the door. Also have 2 story ceiling and triangle shape so I have a flock of wood geese flying up to the ceiling in formation with wings in the correct position as they take off (they are numbered). Also on the 2nd story another large wood carving of birds above the pictures below. This is actually the main entrance. The stairs are seen from the front door and are hard to place pictures on because the pictures go up the wall as you walk and some are on the 2nd story where you view them from the rail at eye level. They all match in color and frames because they are the same artist (Kincaid who uses only certain colors) to make them tie together but they are different sizes. Otherwise yes they are all at eye level and the long hallway uses black and white pictures only to make them more cohesive.

Do you have any videos on the use of tapestries and textiles as wall hangings? I have beautiful hand printed cloth from India, China, Tibet, and Thailand that I like to hang up, and am trying to figure out if its ok to mix them, and how best to hang them up. I guess you would say my style is "eclectic".🙂

Finally, I got an official video to tell my parents that they should not hang their paintings at the top of the wall!

Another excellent video. The artwork that I had in my house, and is very special to me, is not working in my apartment. The paintings now look too small. The apartment has white walls, no drapes, and is very sunny. I can’t change the walls or hang drapes in the apartment. Any suggestions?

Right when you said 75 thousand subscribers you were 7.55 minutes in. Good timing! I predict another 5 thousand soon!

I feel personally attacked 🤣🤣 My walls are all bare right now. Finally ordered some poster size photo enlargements but haven’t hung them yet. This video is perfect timing. I appreciate all these useful tips and will be using them!

Help please? Smallish family room. One large print over the sofa sets the color scheme and is definitely southwestern. It’s in a large brown wood frame with glass over the print. I need a picture for another wall. The wall isn’t as big as the sofa wall so I can get away with a smaller picture. I like boho southwestern, so I’m drawn to abstract southwestern theme. Can’t decide what to do. Thought I should stick with the color scheme. Should I match the frame? Didn’t know if I could get an unframed canvas. Doesn’t seem like that would be a good fit with a framed print in the room.

we are trying to debate between tempered glass wall art vs an oil painting. We have a large 12 feet by 10 feet living room wall that we want to put it on and wanted to know your thoughts on a tempered glass wall art vs oil painting. We have modern furniture

Thx u too

I have a bunch of artwork from Etsy but confused about wer to print them. Can walgreens or staples print large art work?

You mentioned 2/3 width ratio - is that the same for height of what the art is hanging above?

Also ,don’t forget about posters ,for rooms that need a big piece for the wall.

White or black frames for posters ?

Can you mix painting with photography on the same wall?

Hi do you have a tutorial on how to hang pictures straight on wall

You talked about framing art. How do you feel about just stretching a large contemporary oil painting and hanging it with no frame?

Yes! Canvas doesn't need to be framed - if the sides of the canvas are painted it's better and looks more finished

57-60" from the floor to center of the piece or to where hanger goes into the wall?

Hello We're hanging 3 metal engraved pieces on a wall next to a stairway which means the bottom of the wall is angled. Can we hang these at the same angle or is it better to hang them level with each other. Help please lol

GREAT vid... However one point... and it's a bugbear with me: Pictures not hung straight! I use a mini spirit level when dusting just to ensure that they all still are!

As a former gallerist, I approve of this message.

I have empty wall guilt now, and no excuse not to do it correctly. Thanks for the inspirational video that I'd have to be brain dead not to be able to follow. ☺😁

Do a video on wall murals...

Well done, Ms Posh

where can i find the canvas at 1:46?

3:13 This is such a great idea! I just wanna be sure though, does hanging a printable bought on Etsy count as fair use of the piece as far as copyright goes? Also, 78k subs 🥳🥳

Generally the rule with Etsy printables is if you are buying/printing for personal use, there is absolutely no problem with that. So long as you're not reselling the file or printing and reselling, it's totally fine. Each seller usually has their own terms laid out as well, if you're ever curious, but that's the gist of how it works.

Great presentation. A dozen upvotes (if I could). And you never used the word "HACK"!!! Thanks.

Very nice, informative video. But her glasses are driving me crazy! Is it the lighting or do the nose supports have to be adjusted??? It's like they're improperly hung on her face! My OCD can't handle it. I just needed to get it off my chest!

One comment if you live in an earthquake zone like LA only hang a canvas or something like a rug above your bed so you are not injured in a quake. Canvas or even a vinyl print can be stretched and stapled on a cheap wood frame to hang. I just wash the canvas when I think it is too dusty. Rugs can be great abstracts and hung from a wood frame.

"Whatever is politically correct." Lol! It sounds like you and I are on the same page with this nonsense.

Im super afraid of hanging anything above the bed. My uncle lost an eye when a picture fell down and the corner hit his eye.
