Consider UV-protected glass<\/h3>\n
If your pictures are going to be in direct sunlight, they might get damaged by the sun. Placing them in UV-protected glass can help prevent damage. If you don\u2019t have suitable frames, avoid creating your gallery wall in direct sunlight.<\/p>\n
Measure and make markings on the wall for your art<\/h3>\n
To make sure that each picture is hung correctly, measure the dimensions of the wall and the picture frames to ensure that you have designed the space suitably and the pictures are hung evenly.<\/p>\n
Be creative with your layout<\/h3>\n
Traditionally, pictures are hung at eye level. A gallery wall gives you more scope to be creative and hang pictures in an innovative design.<\/p>\n
Check what type of hanging your pictures require<\/h3>\n
A picture or photo frame usually requires either a piece of wire, D ring or a hanger to be hung on a wall. Check this before you start hammering hooks or nails into the wall. If your frame lacks a hanging device and you\u2019re struggling to fit one, maybe try command strips. They can be applied directly onto the wall.<\/p>\n

Think of alternative hanging strategies<\/h3>\n
You might even not want to hang pictures on the wall at all. Sometimes resting pictures against surfaces can look just as effective.<\/p>\n
Lean your framed posters on a sideboard for a laid-back look. You can secure them in place with accessories \u2013 a stack of books makes a good prop. Strong, graphic designs from the 1930s by artists such as Cassandre are among the most iconic, and the large scale gives a bedroom a modern edge.<\/p>\n

Hammer in your nails or command strips<\/h3>\n
Don\u2019t assume that one nail or command strip will be enough. Heavier frames and pieces of art might require more support. Check weight requirements on command strips before hanging anything too heavy up.<\/p>\n

Hang your art to finish the gallery wall<\/h3>\n
Use a spirit level when you\u2019re hanging your pictures to ensure even lines.<\/p>\n
