How to hang two paintings together

Now that you know how to hang a frame or a decor item on your wall ((we talked about it here)), it will be easier to put two pictures together. Here are some tips you should keep in mind. Have a measuring tape and pencil handy and follow these tips :

1. Make a layout

Haz un layout o presentación en el suelo, con los cuadros del revés, que veas las hembrillas o colgadores. Te recomiendo que dejes un mínimo de 5 o 10 cm de separación entre los dos cuadros. Le aportará armonía visual y estética.

2. Take measurements:

-The set size from left to right

-The distance between the hooks so you can mark the exact position of the holes on the wall.

3. Mark the positions

Transfer the measurements to the wall using a pencil and tape measure.

4. Drill and hang

Finally, drill the holes where you marked the wall and hang the pictures.

Here are some options for your composition :

-Horizontally aligned

-Vertically aligned

-Not aligned

How to hang three paintings or a triptych together

Make a unique composition with three paintings and dress up your walls creatively. To hang a triptych, you will always need the help of another person. For the best result, follow these steps:

1. Make a layout

Place and style the three pieces upside down to see the hooks.

2. Take measurements:

Measure and note the distance between the hooks and the total set size.

3. Mark the holes and drill

Traslada las medidas a la pared, marcando con un lápiz las esquinas y la posición de los agujeros. Ayúdate de un metro o un nivel láser para colocar los puntos a la misma altura.

Decorating with paintings without hanging them on the wall

If you prefer an alternative solution, here is a new trend to decorate the walls of your home with pictures and prints without hanging them on the wall.

Place your paintingson the floor in front of an empty wall. I recommend using large prints or photos, as this will look much better than using small frames.

Placethe framed picture picture or painting on low furniture. Combine them with other images of other sizes or decorative elements such as lamps, vases, or candles for better visual aesthetics.

By installinga shelf on the wall, you can decorate it with several pictures by just making a few holes.
