9 Tips for Hanging Pictures in Your Home

A great way to turn a house into a home at the Lake of the Ozarks and make it your own is to hang pictures.  Pictures and other types of art allow you to show off your personality.  Hanging art can be a little tricky, so Mission Bay is here to help!  Check out this how-to video and some handy tips we've gathered just for you!

Picture Hanging How-To




Tips for Hanging Pictures


  • Don't use just nails.  Pictures hung by a single nail are highly likely to fall off the wall or require regular straightening.  Be sure to invest in the right hardware that will be able to support the weight of your picture. 
  • Capture drywall dust.  Use a sticky note folded in half underneath where you're making the whole to catch the drywall dust so it doesn't get in your carpet or on furniture. 
  • Use painters tape.  You can measure the distance of where you need to place the nails or screws with painters tape.  Align it with the hooks on the back of the frame or artwork, peel it off and then place on the wall.  Now you know exactly where to make the holes. 
  • Don't eyeball it.  If you're hanging multiple pieces, you want to make sure the placement works well before making holes in the wall.  You can use painter's tape to help you figure out the best arrangement. 
  • Measure before placing.  If you're placing multiple pieces together, use a ruler to make sure they are evenly spaced. 
  • Grouping. When grouping pictures together, consider them as one unit, selecting those that are similar in size, themes and colors.  Lay them out on the floor and arrange them until you're pleased with the results before hanging. 
  • Compliment the room. Select artwork or pictures that complement the style and color of furniture and walls, as well as the wall space available. Make sure the size of the art makes sense with the size of the walls, you don't want something too big or too small. 
  • Place at eye level. Hang artwork so the center point of the picture or grouping is at about eye level.
  • Center it. This tip is key especially when you're hanging art over a piece of furniture that's against the wall.  Take out the tape measure and be precise or the whole room could look off balance. You also want to make sure the art is not too high over the furniture.  The eye will be drawn to the gap rather than the art. 

Consider making the beautiful houses at Mission Bay your new home!  We offer lake living at its finest with lake view and lakefront homes at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Mission Bay boasts an exquisite clubhouse with heated indoor pool and outdoor pool and hot tub for entertaining family and friends. Nearby is the new Woods Supermarket, lake front restaurants, and just 6 minutes from Camdenton via the improved Highway 5.
