Art is an special aesthetic experience. Have you felt drawn towards a painting in someone's home and you feel the energy, you go closer and get engrossed in the details and start thinking what the art conveys and what the artists has made! With more than 2 and half decades of experience with making and selling art I have seen that placement of painting is very very important.


It involves all our senses and once the viewer is engrossed in the art, the artist has achieved their aim. But many a times we cannot do justice to a painting and just brush away quickly past it without even giving it a second glance. Sometimes we may have to bend lower, move our head, or lean over the sofa to get a clear view of the details of the painting. Thus we lose interest. Hence it is very important to recognize that placement of paintings is also one of the important aspects in the success of a work. Buying painting according to our taste is just one of the aspects of art, and displaying it is another. Purchase has been done but we end up with a large work or sometimes a much smaller work for our wall.
1) it is important to select the area for display, the wall color and also the other accessories displayed in the room so that they do not clash with the work before purchase of a piece of art.
2) If the work has to be hung in the living room consider the height of the sofa set or the other seating arrangements. Too low and it may touch the back of the one seated and will not give a good view. Too high and the viewer may lose interest if they have to stretch much.
3) For displaying paintings in passages and other rooms consider the usage and what age groups of people are staying there. Children's room having paintings must be at a height where they cannot tamper with the works and also strongly tied and secure with strong thread or twines. Offices which have huge paintings need to be at a level where people passing from there can see the works at eye level. Other wise if hung too high they may pass away without even having a glimpse of the displayed artworks.
4) Do check the height of display , try out options, sometimes I have seen an artwork loves a corner instead of a center, and looks happy! The art must either blend or pop in your urban decor and also not look out of place with your style of furniture.
5) If you need to hang the painting at eye level to do justice to the work of art, try to avoid sharp furniture pieces near your precious art. A swift hand movement and your nail brushed against the layer of canvas, to your canvas painting can tear it!
6) Avoid other objects that will take away the attention for your art. Basically choose colours in upholstery and decor that will not mismatch with your wall art. Original hand made Art is costly and you would like to focus the moving room center of attention a conversational art piece!
7) Vaastu and feng shuii have their specific rules to place art in home and office. I have specialized in best art placement techniques for maximum benefits from past twenty five years. Birds paintings are best displayed in north and northwest sector. green growing plants paintings must be avoided in north sector as it will absorb all the water element from your life that is drain the career wealth energy. Having huge water fall paintings in south sector will bring bad name and ill reputation, rumours bad name and back biting, to your work and business by washing away opportunities and will to work.
The level of hanging paintings can make or mar the aesthetic experience given by a painting. Best would be to check the size of area available to hang that artwork before purchasing art. Every artists website has details of painting materials used and size. do check whether the sizes are in cms or inches. that is most important!
One can try placing the work of art at different levels and find the suitable best height for display. There is no hard and fast rule for displaying it all depends on individual tastes and preferences. There are so many beautiful virtual art display apps and you can actually even see how the painting will look on your home or office wall! My paintings are also displayed in art rooms app and you will see in modern decor rooms they are displayed to bring out the aesthetic appeal of original art.
I am very particular while selling my art about the details of every painting. I always mention to my art buyers to read the descriptions and details before buying my art. I also click holding the painting in my hand to explain the size of the painting. You can check the extra images with every painting photo uploaded on my website.
Thank you and hope this helps!
All the Best from Rizwana!
