Unique Home Decorating Ideas: Hanging Artwork

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 11, 2010 -- Most important, carefully plan the style painting, photograph or other framed and mounted artwork you envision, matches the décor of the room. It would be a decorating disaster if your wall art clashed with the current motif of your room or office. There are plenty of online websites selling artwork to mount on walls, but first, go to your computer and review your own digital images or find that box of photographs under the bed and thumb through the prints, (most local photography outlets can help you create lost negatives of your favorite pictures or transfer them to digital format).

The next important consideration is how to properly hang your artwork so when you step back you don’t become dizzy by seeing all the crooked, off-centered items populating your walls! Let’s take a look at some of the tools used to make this job more pleasant and give the results accomplished by professionals.

* Create a Paper Template– Place framed or mounted artwork directly onto a large sheet of butcher or other heavy paper. After you visualize the arrangement, trace around each piece. Now decide where on the wall you want to center this arrangement by measuring either, up from the floor or down from the ceiling. Tape the paper tracing into place. Begin hammering nails directly through your tracing. Remove the tracing from the wall, (careful not to pullout the nails), and hang your artwork. Brilliant!

* Hang & Level tool – This unique home decorating tool attaches to your framed artwork so you can move the piece along the wall to find the desired position to hang the picture. Tabs on the Hang & Level tool mark where the nail should be placed for a perfect job.

* Black & Decker BullsEye® Auto Leveling Laser w/ Stud Sensor - This product not only helps you provide a level position when hanging artwork, but identifies studs behind the wall especially useful when hanging heavier items that need the extra support.
