How-To

Everything You Need to Hang Artwork


There’s nothing worse than starting a DIY home design project only to be halted midway through when you realize you’ve forgotten something you need. Hanging artwork is super simple, but it does require a little planning and having the right tools and hardware on hand. While we’re certainly not opposed to the ‘eyeballing it’ method, if you’re trying to create a gallery wall, hang a pair of paintings, or align your artworks with architectural elements in the room, it’s always safer (and usually means less holes in your walls) to break out the level and measuring tape.

Check out the video above for a quick recap of everything you need to hang artwork.
