tips for hanging mag photography

Using mag photography groupings on your walls is an excellent way to create interesting focal points in your rooms and to enhance your overall decor.

how to hang your mag photographs?

Position your grouping of mag floral photography on craft paper and trace around the grouping. Tape the paper to the wall, position the hooks and nail into place; then remove the paper and hang your pictures.

When hanging an even numbered group of mag photographs, grouping them tightly will make the photographs appear as one statement rather than a series of small comments, enhancing the overall affect.

Mag floral photographs grouped in odd numbers are visually balanced, giving volume without crowding.

Mag photograph collections hung symmetrically will create a gallery effect and bring formality to the room. Consider hanging your mag photographs symmetrically above large pieces of furniture, such as sofas and above mantles.

Asymmetrical groupings of mag photography can be used to create a more organic balance and energize modern or casual interiors. Try hanging two mag photographs together, lowering one and raising the other, so the top and bottom don't match.

where to hang your mag photographs?

First, choose a low-humidity area with ambient lighting away from harmful sources of UV rays.

Before choosing your final location, consider the viewing distance - bolder colours and lively compositions require more breathing space than simple subdued mag photographs.

Mag floral photographs should hang just above eye level, 58" to the center of the photograph or grouping of photographs is a good rule of thumb.

If you are placing your mag photographs above furniture such as sofas, chair groupings or console tables, eyeball the amount of space between the furniture and the ceiling, then allocate 2/3's of that space for the photographs. A good guideline is to hang them 5-9 inches above the furniture.

For a creative visual effect, hang a mag grouping off-center over a long piece of furniture, such as a sofa or a console table, and balance it out with a planter or other decorative object at the other end.

Mag photography hung in a row horizontally will help to visually widen a space whereas when hung in a row vertically, mag photography will add height and draw the eye upward.

Finally, consider using lighting to emphasize your mag floral photography arrangement. However, be careful of lighting that is too bright producing unwanted glare.

Iiving room

A sofa provides an ideal anchor for mag floral photographs. Since mag photography groupings look particularly striking when grouped tightly together, they create a stunning visual effect when hung above a sofa.

Make sure that your patterned sofa doesn't overshadow the more delicate flowers in some mag photographs.

Mag photographs will also look stunning in your living room wrapped around an inside corner of the room.

dining room

We recommend hanging larger sized mag photographs in a dining room as they can be enjoyed whether you are sitting down or standing up. Their size also allows you to easily enjoy them by candlelight.

a big blank wall

A big, beautiful grouping of mag photographs displayed in solitary splendour can create an instant focal point in a room. It demands attention, fills an expanse of wall and, in some cases, makes up for a lack of architectural detail.

We recommend tightly grouping four 14 x 14 photographs or a group of six 10 x 10 mag photographs to create balance in this space.

small spaces

Tightly group an even number of mag photographs in a small space, such as a galley kitchen or a tight stair landing, to give a window effect.

A wall in a hallway is a great place to create a gallery effect. Fill the wall with mag photographs grouped by flower variety or colour.

10 x 10 mag photographs can be especially effective in small areas, such as corners or hallways.

staircases

Staircases bring you into direct contact with mag photography. As a result, mag photographs with small details and delicate colours work well here. For a gallery effect, follow the incline of the stairs when hanging the mag photographs.

May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.
