Working out how to position pictures is easier said than done.  If you wish to hang a number of pictures together, it is suggested that you lay them on the floor and move them around until you are happy with the layout and then transfer them to the wall – I think that depends on the logical nature of your brain, if you can move them from the floor to the wall in the same plan (maybe I’m too accustomed to having 2 little helpers, who I just know would be lifting them off the floor to hand to us!). I prefer to visualise them on the wall and then go for it but I think it all depends on whether you are left or right brained!!

I like the image above, pictures should be positiioned at eye level and there’s a nice mixture of sizes, styles and different framing.  I like the way there is plain wall around the lamp – giving it its own impact and individuality and creating an asymmetrical balance. 

I haven’t created a group of pictures within this house as yet although I am planning it for the kitchen, once I sand and paint an old dresser and position it in the kitchen, I’ll be working on the placement of pictures.  In one past terraced house which had extremely steep stairs and high walls. we placed a variety of pictures on each side of the stairs, the whole way up along the wall and it worked very well to break up the large expanse of wall as well as creating interest.
