When properly arranged, wildlife prints can have a dramatic decorative effect in any room. A wall of beautiful wildlife prints can transform a space, but there is a process to ensure that the prints have a perfect arrangement to enhance the display. Here is how you can arrange wildlife prints to create a great focal point in your home.
The first step in the process of arranging wildlife prints is to pick a wall. If you choose a large wall, which is usually the wall most of us are drawn to, you will definitely need to fill it. A smaller, less obvious wall may be better if you have a small collection of prints.
Before you pull out the hammer and drill, plan where you will place the prints on the wall. You can use copy paper to tape to the wall to get a feel for how things will look once you hang the prints. There are even some high-tech options to get a more accurate view of the wall with the prints in place. Planning out the arrangement is an important step in the process. You don't want to start hammering until you love the arrangement.
You should hang art of all types at eye level for the best effect. On average, eye level is around 57-60 inches. If your ceilings are low, you may want to move the art down an inch or two to compensate for the lower ceiling. If the ceilings are high, you should instead move up about an inch.
Your prints may look great in a straight line, but they may not from different angles. Try out different hanging options and choose a style that complements your home. Ultimately, you can display your art any way you see fit to bring you joy!
The online art industry in the United States has increased by 6.6%, according to Statista. That means that more people than ever are finding joy in art. Enjoy your wildlife prints by taking your time to arrange them. Contact our team at Wildlife Prints for great art to display today!
On January 1, 2015, we became the master distributor for the artwork of award winning wildlife artist JIM HANSEL. Through www.wildlifeprints.com, and through our two retail stores we will carry all of Jim's latest works as well as his classic images from years past. Be sure to watch our Facebook pages for Half Price Framing in Woodbury, MN and Grandpa Earl's Country Store in Annandale, MN to see information on special store pricing for Jim Hansel's artwork as well as announcements about personal appearances and signings that are planned for the coming months. We will always offer you the most competitive prices on both framed and unframed Hansel prints in a wide variety of sizes.
Jim's personal story is quite exceptional. In case you are not familiar with Jim, you will be amazed to know that he is legally blind. At the age of 12 Jim was diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease. This impairment translates into minute detail on each and every stroke. He paints only 1-2 inches from the canvas while using magnifiers and low-vision devices. This method and the painstaking detail work it requires means he may spend more time turning his ideas into the final piece of artwork that you see. But as you can tell, all that effort is clearly visible in each beautiful painting.
