Hanging photograph Frames - What You Need to Know

Once you have the pictures framed, you're ready for the fun of getting your pictures up on the wall. Hanging pictures isn't hard but it does want a few steps to be done beforehand, like manufacture sure the frame has hardware on it and that you have a good idea of where you want to hang it.

Nails

Hanging photo frames with finishing nails is an exquisite choice since the nails are easy to install and are small adequate so that they don't generate large holes on your wall. You want to hammer the nail into your wall at a 45 degree angle and if potential put them into a stud in the wall. If you're hanging large or slightly heavy frames you of course need to hammer the nails into a wall stud otherwise your photo frames will fall. If you're unsure how to uncover a wall stud, you can purchase an uncostly 'wall stud finder' at your local hardware store (or you can always tap on the wall until it sounds solid).

Screws

Hanging wall frames with screws can make larger holes and should only be considered, for the most part, when you're hanging frames to concrete, stone or brick walls. In this case, you would need to pre-drill a hole in the rock wall using a "mason" drill bit that is the correct size for the screw. You'll also want to use a screw anchor so that it's properly secured.

Adhesives

A hanging wall frame can also be secured by the third method: adhesive. Adhesives are gaining popularity fast since there's no need to put holes in the wall. 3M's Command Strip is one popular brand used for hanging photo frames and they come in the form of Velcro or hooks. These adhesive items are only designed to hang smaller pictures, but some can hold up to 5 lbs. Carefully read the instructions so you know if your photo frame is too heavy. If you try hanging photo frames that are too heavy, you'll risk damaging the photo frame.

Now that you've decided which technique is best for hanging wall frames in your home, now you need to determine where they should go.

Selecting Where to Hang Your photo Frames

If you're only hanging one or two frames, find man to help you. Have them hold the frame along the wall and adjust their position until you find the exquisite place. The ideal position for hanging photo frames is around eye level, or about ¾ the way up the wall. If these pictures are the only things that will hang on your wall, it makes your job super easy.

However, if you have other frames or items already on your wall, you'll want to make sure the spacing looks good. For complicated frames, it's a good idea to lay them down on the floor and see how they look together to get the best layout.
