The decoration of a home is not complete without the presence of works of art that reflect our personality and style. Hanging woven murals, paintings, illustrations or photographs on your walls not only beautifies them, it also adds character and warmth to the space. But how to make the most of these works? The answer lies in the proportion and placement height. In this article, we give you some basic tips for hanging your artwork.
Proportion and Scale:
Just as proportion is crucial in decorating in general, it is also crucial when choosing artwork to hang on the walls of your home. When the wall is large, opt for a large woven mural or a composition of several. Choose a piece that fills the space in a proportionate way, maintaining visual balance in the room. On the other hand, on smaller walls, you can play with a combination of murals and other artwork of different sizes to add interest to the whole.

Ideal Height:
The height at which you hang your artwork is critical to its appreciation. The general rule is to hang it so that half of the work is at eye level, which could be between 1.5 or 1.7 meters from the floor. This measurement may vary depending on the space and the height of the people who inhabit it. For example, if you are placing the mural on a piece of furniture, make sure it is closer to the piece of furniture than the ceiling. A distance of 30 to 45 centimeters between the mural and the edge of the furniture allows you to obtain a balanced appearance.

Gallery Compositions:
Creating an art gallery at home is an elegant and unique way to add character to your decor. When creating a composition of several works, whether horizontal, vertical or irregular in shape, look for visual balance. Decide if you prefer an orderly scheme with works of the same size or a more dynamic mix with a variety of formats and styles. The distance between the works should range between 5 and 8 centimeters, adjusting according to their dimensions and your personal preferences.
