When it comes to interior design, hanging pictures or art professionally is a challenging task that requires creativity. Why is that so?

There is a lot that is involved in this daunting task.

1. Sometimes the pictures do not match.
2. You need a plan before making holes in the wall.
3. You have to be creative.
4. To avoid damage to your precious art pieces or your wall, you need proper tools to complete the task. 
5. It takes time; you have to be patient. 

Let’s get started.

Tools required

• Stud finder
• Measuring tape
• Picture hanging hooks
• Drill
• Wirecutter
• Picture hanging strips
• Masking tape
• Hammer
• Picture hanging kit
• Screwdriver

Step 1: Layout

It is best to lay out your pictures on the floor before hanging them; this will give you an idea of how your pictures will look on the wall.

Step 2: Position

Use a stud finder along the wall to find the position where you want the picture to be. It’s very important to make sure that your fasteners are installed into a wall stud. This ensures that your picture or artwork is secured to the wall.

Step 3: Measure

Using a measuring tape, measure the picture frame and mark on the wall where each end of the frame will rest. Depending on the hangers that are on the frame, make another mark at the center of the first mark. Measure the distance from the end of the frame to the hanger, and mark this position on the wall.

Step 4: Install fasteners

Drill holes for your fasteners; drilling holes for fasteners prevents cracking of the wall. You can also hammer or screw in your fasteners. 

Step 5: Hang

Hang your picture. It’s recommended that you get help when hanging heavy pictures. Place a level on top of the frame to make sure it hangs straight.

That’s it; you have transformed the interior of your home. A job well done!!
