1. Hanging artwork a tutorial

2. A hangs too low, not level with adjoining cabinet bottom A --------------

3. too high, must be at a comfortable viewing height

4. bottom edges level with the cabinet but still a bit too high ---------------

6. vertical on left has been placed two verticals on right are too low in relation to A A --------------

7. two verticals right are spaced more evenly in relation to Vertical A Gutter (g) between B and C is too high A g B C

8. Using Midline of Vertical A the gutter placement of B and C are determined. B and C have the same amount of distance top and bottom (t and b) in relation to Vertical A. Gutter (g1) at 9 inches does not match (g2) in 5 inches (measured distance from the corner). A B C -----t ----b g1 g2

9. from patterns to perfection

10. vertical or horizontal? patterns help you see what will be most pleasing

11. A and B are too high in relation to the mirror. A B much better!

12. Patterns are also helpful for heavy objects like mirrors which need to be centered Patterns can help cut down on hole hanging mistakes

13. double horizontal frames balance the large mirror Odd number placements are more pleasing then even

14. Opposite corners of artwork balance the visual weight of the room – like a teeter totter!
