Hanging pictures at home (part II)

The other day we talked about the different options and hanging systems that we have at our disposal to decorate our walls. Once we have decided with which model and type of hanger we choose for our house, we have to take action and start hanging our paintings. For this I would like to give you some small guidelines to take into account.

First of all, we must be clear about what the elements are going to be or Tables What are we going to hang up and what will be the place of each one, if they are going to be placed in a line, in pairs, in groups or if there is going to be a central element and around it the rest of smaller size. Once we have it clear, we must place them in the wall making small marks on it to help us in the next step. We will use a pencil to do this, drawing very weakly to be able to erase it later and that there is no mark left, and it is not necessary to draw the entire contour of the box, it would be valid with its 4 corners or only with the two upper ones.

They must be in line with the ceiling and the walls, avoiding that they are bent or fallen from one of their sides.

Then we will measure where the hooks go on the back of the checks and we will draw them on the wall on their sites with respect to the measurements we made previously. In these last brands that we have made, we will place our hangers, either spikes with their corresponding studs, the hang-easy or another method of hanging that we are going to use. Once placed and nailed we can erase all the marks of the wall y hang our pictures on your site.

If we are going to use bars or wires hanging from rails, it is not necessary to mark the wall, but if we will have to mark the bars at the height that we want each element to be located to place the hook.
