Step 1: Gather Your Tools
You'll need:
- Painter's tape
-
Measuring tape
-
Level
-
Pencil
-
Hammer & nails (or wall anchors for heavier frames)
Step 2: Find the Ideal Height
For the perfect placement:
-
The center of your picture should be 57-60 inches (145-150 cm) from the floor for ideal eye-level viewing.
-
Hanging above a sofa? Leave about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) between the top of the sofa and the bottom of the frame.
Step 3: Plan with Painter's Tape
Painter's tape is a game-changer for visualizing your layout:
-
Start by marking the position of the middle frame first. Use it as a guide for the remaining frames.
-
Outline each frame’s position with painter’s tape for a clear preview.
-
Maintain 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) between frames for a balanced look.
-
Use a level to ensure everything stays straight.
Step 4: Mark and Install
Here’s a pro tip for perfect nail placement:
-
Apply a bit of paint to the hanger on the back of the frame. Press it against the wall to mark the exact spot for your nail.
-
Hammer your nails or install wall anchors as needed.
-
Remove the painter’s tape before hanging the frames for a clean finish.

Hello,
I love this tutorial on how to hang pictures on the wall. I always end up having the picture crooked and having to redo it serval times. Honesty, I never thought of using painters’ tape so I’ll definitely be using that tip in the near future. I also like how your video and instructions underneath are easy to follow, that even a beginner can understand. However, many people don’t have some tools that you used, such as a level. I would love if you could create another video primarily for beginners that uses items that every household should have. But overall, this blog and video was very well made!
This blog post is visually beautiful, with strong visual storytelling that makes it captivating and easy to follow. The combination of step-by-step instructions, good-quality photographs, and the embedded TikTok video makes for a rich and interactive reading experience for viewers. The use of painter's tape as a planning tool is a particularly useful tip, making the process more precise and reducing the risk of too much wall damage.
A small area of improvement is the readability of the text. The current colour scheme makes the text blend slightly with the background, which may make it less readable. Adjusting the contrast by making the text darker or the background lighter would make the site more accessible and easier to read in general.
Overall, this is a well-structured and visually appealing post that provides concise, actionable advice. A minor modification to the text colour would enhance the user experience even further
