How to hang frames?

What's a good way to hang a picture? How to decide where to hang art pieces, and how do you group them together?
Here are some guidelines.

Disposer les cadres

Hanging frames on the walls requires to take into account :
available wall space
the number of frames
the light.

Consider grouping same-size pictures together in a four-square, to give the illusion of a larger picture.

When all of your frames are not matching sizes, try to balance the impact of the frames.

Always hang pictures at eye level. If you're hanging a picture over a sofa, you shouldn't leave a lot of wall space between the sofa and the picture.

Don't put one little picture on a large wall. It looks ridiculous. If you don't have enough artwork to fill up more space on a large wall, consider putting mirrors or a shadowbox in the grouping.

Conversely, don't overload a small wall with a large picture.

Consider resting pictures on shelving hammered directly on to a wall.
