Decorate and Organize: Hanging Shelves and Art Like a Pro
Hello DIY Lovers!
Let's dive into a fun project today—hanging shelves and art in your home! This is all about creating a space that really shows off your style. Whether you want to show off your books or your favorite art, learning how to do this can totally transform your room.
Imagine entering a room where each item has a perfect spot—it’s organized and styled to express your unique aesthetic. Your favorite artworks make a bold statement, your photos narrate cherished memories, and your decorative shelves turn functional items into exhibits.
Step-by-Step Guide to Stylish Organization
Identifying Ideal Locations: Start by assessing your room. What do you want to accentuate? Is it the eclectic mix of your vintage photo frames, your stack of travel books, or all the above? The placement of each shelf and piece of art will create the room’s harmony.
Choosing Tools for Success: For this project, arm yourself with the essentials:
- robust shelving
- sturdy brackets
- a reliable level
- a precision stud finder
- a powerful drill
Selecting the right tools not only eases the setup process but ensures a secure, lasting hold for your beautiful displays.
Use this formula
Artwork hanging is an art in itself. Aim to position the center of each piece at eye-level, typically 57 inches from the floor, which aligns with gallery standards for an aesthetically pleasing look.
Divide the height of the frame by two; from that number, subtract the distance from the top of the frame to the hanging hardware; add this number to 57, 58, 59, or 60, depending on where in the range you want to land.
