Arrange art around a theme. If you use the basic principles of arranging artwork, whether it's symmetrical or asymmetrical, your space will be balanced. Symmetrical arrangements are the easiest to create visually. Asymmetrical or varied arrangements work best if you have a lot of pieces in different sizes, shapes and colors. This method creates an overall balance .
Walls are the largest vertical spaces in a house and count as nearly one-third of visual workspace.
To keep it appealing, artwork should be hung about 60 inches off the floor. Before you secure any type of artwork to the wall, lay individual pieces out on the floor to get a feel for the way you would like them arranged. Try to do this in front of the wall that will display your art to catch the same lighting. An alternative to this method is to make a template of each picture or object by tracing around it on brown paper. Then use small pieces of masking tape to experiment with the arrangement before nailing the actual items.
