Plan the layout: Before hanging any pictures, plan the layout by considering the wall space and the arrangement of the pictures. Determine the placement and order of the pictures to achieve a visually appealing composition. Avoid directional sunlight to minimize glare and increase the life of your images. 

Use proper hardware: Ensure that you use appropriate hardware for the weight and size of your pictures. For lighter frames, adhesive hooks or picture-hanging hooks are suitable. For heavier frames, use wall anchors, screws, nails or “Hercules hooks” to securely hang them.  I hang my canvas images directly from the top cross stretcher, I don’t attach any hardware.

Eye-level positioning: Hang your pictures at eye level to make them easily visible and enjoyable. The center of the picture should typically be around 57-60 inches (145-152 cm) from the floor, but adjust the height based on the furniture arrangement and the room's specific needs.

Create visual balance: Achieve visual balance by considering the size, shape, and color of your pictures. Mix different frame sizes and styles to add variety and interest. Maintain consistent spacing between frames for a cohesive look.

Consider the room and style: Select pictures that complement the room's overall style and theme. Consider the color palette, subject matter, and style of the pictures to ensure they harmonize with the decor. This will create a cohesive and visually pleasing atmosphere.

Remember, these tips serve as general guidelines, and you can adapt them based on your personal preferences and the specific characteristics of your home.

How do I clean my canvas?

The canvases are quite durable and should resist most scratches, smudges, fingerprints, etc. You can dust canvases with a soft, dry cloth. If your canvas is damaged and needs deeper cleaning, you may try a damp cloth. If the canvas gets nicked and loses ink in a certain area it can be touched up with felt-tip markers or paint.
