Apartment therapy offers us a detailed how to that will help us get that next set of photos up on the wall quickly and easily. The only tools you’ll need:
- tape measure
- simple laser level
- masking tape
- pen/pencil
- straight edge
- hammer nails/screws (depending on the weight of your artwork)
This is something that I’ve always had problems with myself and after reading their long and detailed directions I’m pretty excited to put it to the test.
Once you establish your favorite spot you can use the masking tape to hang the works precisely. With two inch masking tape you have enough room to eyeball the overall position and then measure and mark the final nail/screw spot. In my sample pictures I am hanging a group of 9 minis square 8″x 8″ frames. I laid the frames out on the floor as a square to get a feel of the best spacing between the frames. Then I measured the length and hight of that layout. Using a tape measure I cut the masking tape to length.
Head on over to Apartment Therapy and read the entire how to.
