ART WALL COMPOSITION
STEP BY STEP
1. Select your artworks
There are different things to
consider when selecting your
artworks. Find a common
thread in your theme to
get the most harmonious
result and expression. It
can be a color theme, a
theme consisting of specific
motifs, or a deliberate mix of
different stylistic directions.
But most importantly: choose
your artworks with love! You
can’t go wrong with that.
2. Choose your frames
Is your wall white or colored? Are you
looking into using different frames,
or do you want a simple look with the
same type of frames? If your motifs
are very different, using the same
type of frames will give a unifying
and harmonious look. However, if the
motifs are thematically alike, choosing
different frames can add dynamics to
the composition.

3. Measure your wall.
4. Make your composition
Find an area of your floor similar in size to your wall and place your artworks on the floor. Start by
placing the biggest artworks and then proceed with the smaller ones. Place the pictures of biggest size
at the bottom, this will give a solid base in the composition. Keeping the same distance between the
frames will give a harmonious general impression.
5. Test the composition
Measure the sizes of the artworks and test their dimensions on the wall by taping papers, corresponding
to the actual size of the artwork on the wall. You can now see how the composition looks before
hammering nails into the wall.
6. Hang the artworks on the wall.
7. Enjoy!
