When many pictures must be hung start by laying them on the floor to test arrangement relative to existing furniture. Create paper patterns of each size and tack them to a wall to map the layout. Move patterns until the composition is balanced, then mark guides lightly for actual hanging. Consider hanging where furniture is not directly beneath. Plan a grouping that suits the wall's shape and proportion.
