A great way to accent an otherwise-overlooked area, hanging a large piece of art in stairways has become increasingly popular. Here are some quick tips on how to hang in this transition space:
Aim for about eye-level. Stand on the center step halfway up and look straight at the wall, and using a pencil or a piece of tape, mark the point directly in front of your line of vision.
If there’s a stud in the center area, it may be ok to compromise spacing slightly to hang directly onto the stud.
If you need a ladder, use a ladder extension for the lower step to make the ladder stand evenly on two staggered planes.
