You might even think you don&#8217;t need tips for hanging canvas prints; after all, how hard could it possibly be?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve gone through all the steps correctly; taking beautiful shots and editing them with care, then making sure the technical specs of your photos are high-quality enough to print on canvas. Now you&#8217;ve decided to hang your masterpieces on your walls for maximum impact.<\/p>\n<p>And then it happens: you hang your fresh canvas prints, and they just don\u2019t look good. Perhaps they\u2019re slightly, maddeningly crooked, or the prints you&#8217;ve chosen just don&#8217;t work together. Perhaps one falls off the wall, leaving a gash in your drywall that needs to be repaired. And when you step back to admire your work, there\u2019s something just &#8230; off about the whole project. The problem? You didn&#8217;t read this or consider the best tips for hanging canvas prints first!<\/p>\n<h2>Why You Need Our Top Tips for Hanging Canvas Prints<\/h2>\n<p>Hanging your canvas prints is easy enough when you only have one print, but what about when it comes to hanging a whole series of prints? If you&#8217;re hanging prints, especially those in a grid formation or a straight line, they need to be perfectly-straught, otherwise, all the hard work that went into taking your photos and selecting the right prints is all for nothing.<\/p>\n<p>An off-centre single print or crooked line of canvas prints can ruin the whole display and it can be incredibly distracting to look at, taking the focus off the beauty of your prints.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecanvasfactory.com.au\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/annie-spratt-1tVfpJ0zNAA-unsplash.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7670 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.thecanvasfactory.com.au\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/annie-spratt-1tVfpJ0zNAA-unsplash-300x185.jpg\" alt=\"tips for hanging canvas prints floating shelving\" width=\"522\" height=\"322\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/annie-spratt-1tVfpJ0zNAA-unsplash-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/annie-spratt-1tVfpJ0zNAA-unsplash-768x474.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/annie-spratt-1tVfpJ0zNAA-unsplash-1024x632.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/annie-spratt-1tVfpJ0zNAA-unsplash-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/annie-spratt-1tVfpJ0zNAA-unsplash.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 522px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 522\/322;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Hanging Canvas Prints: Hardware<\/h2>\n<p>Step one when planning to hang some personalised canvas prints on your walls is to go out and get the fundamental hardware you\u2019ll need.

Make sure you&#8217;ve got a nail, a backer, and the right size hammer for them.<\/li>\n<li>A pencil \u2013 don\u2019t mark your walls with something you can\u2019t easily remove!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now you&#8217;ve got the basic tools you\u2019ll need to create your art wall. The next step is following some simple guidelines to make sure everything is evenly balanced.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Hanging Canvas Prints: Arrangement<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a very simple process you can follow to ensure that your new canvas print art wall is appropriately amazing.<\/p>\n<h3>Measure Your Wall<\/h3>\n<p>Measure up from the floor sixty inches (1.5 metres) and mark on the stud lines. This will put your pictures approximately at eye level, which is ideal. If you\u2019re hanging over furniture, go up about 6 inches (20cm) from the top of the furniture instead.<\/p>\n<h3>Add Your Hooks<\/h3>\n<p>Your hooks should be spaced around 16 inches apart on centre, but it depends on what kind of arrangement you want to create. Mark the centre point of each stud so you can hang your prints securely. Use a leveller to make sure you\u2019re marking the same spot on each stud.<\/p>\n<h3>Create Your Arrangement<\/h3>\n<p>Because you&#8217;ve got the centre-point to start with, you can choose to either hang your canvas prints dead-on in a row or get creative with a gallery-wall style arrangement. If you want to have a pattern, use your tape measure and level to mark out proportional spacing \u2013 don\u2019t eyeball it! Eyeballing spacing and level will never work; it will look wobbly and amateurish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecanvasfactory.com.au\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/art-blank-business-color-139764.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7676 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.thecanvasfactory.com.au\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/art-blank-business-color-139764-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"tips for hanging canvas prints\" width=\"451\" height=\"304\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/art-blank-business-color-139764-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/art-blank-business-color-139764-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/art-blank-business-color-139764-1024x689.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/art-blank-business-color-139764-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/art-blank-business-color-139764.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 451px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 451\/304;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Extra tips for Hanging Canvas Prints<\/h2>\n<p>If in doubt, start with larger prints in the centre and then work your way outward with smaller prints. If you&#8217;re creating a large or complicated arrangement, lay it out on the floor beforehand. That way, you can see what it will look like on your walls.<\/p>\n<p>Be creative! You put a lot of creative energy into the photos themselves, don\u2019t skimp now and do a poor job of hanging them on your walls. A little care with measurements and levelling and you\u2019ll have striking, gallery-style prints.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve got all our best tips for hanging canvas prints, get ready to fill your boring blank walls!
