Congratulations! When you finally receive your brand-new, 100% hand-painted Rosemary Art canvas—whether it's a bold, large statement piece of Abstract Art or a lovely Portrait Wall Art that evokes deep memories—that moment is always incredibly exciting.
Before hanging the work, compare its dimensions, weight and installed hanging fittings with the wall and intended position. Care depends on the actual materials and condition, rather than a promised lifetime.
These five planning and care tips are general references. They do not replace the instructions for the actual hanging system or an installer’s assessment of the wall and artwork.
1. Test a 57-Inch Height Reference
A center height around 57 inches, or approximately 145 cm from the floor, is one layout to test. It is not a universal gallery standard: adjust for viewing height, furniture, artwork dimensions and how the room is used.
Use this sequence to plan the position before installation:
- Step 1: Choose a possible center height, using 57 inches only as a starting reference. Compare it with the furniture and viewing position.
- Step 2: Measure the complete framed height and width, and locate the artwork’s center on a paper outline.
- Step 3: Identify the actual hangers already fitted to the work. Do not assume every work uses a wire or the same fixing arrangement.
- Step 4: Confirm the fixing positions from the actual hardware instructions, wall type and artwork weight. If these are unclear, ask a qualified installer before drilling.
- Step 5: Install only after the wall fixings and hanging system have been checked for this work and location.
Check the final position against your planned layout and the installation instructions.
2. Match the Fixings to the Work and Wall
Choose wall fixings matched to the installation according to the actual wall, load and installed hanging system. There is no universal rule requiring two hooks or positions one-quarter of the way in from the frame edges.
3. Supporting Your Large Artwork
If you've purchased a large piece to set the tone of your room, such as a sweeping Landscape Painting or a highly impactful Ocean Wall Art, plan the installation around its actual weight and hanging fittings, as well as its appearance.
For large or heavy works, have a qualified installer assess the wall, fixings and fitted hangers. Do not add a ceiling cord, top-center support or replacement hanging arrangement without confirming compatibility with the work and structure.
4. Safety First
Safety is always a priority, and that includes the safety of you, your children, the family pet, and your artwork!
If you intend to hang your art in a room where safety is paramount (i.e., children’s bedrooms or nurseries), especially when hanging a gentle piece of Floral Wall Art or an enchanting Ballerina Painting, assess the actual placement and installation. Ask an installer about compatible security fittings where needed; no fitting should be described as guaranteeing that a work can never fall.
5. Preserving Your Artwork
Finally, and most importantly: you must preserve the beauty of your artwork!
To limit avoidable exposure, choose a position where the artwork is out of direct sunlight and where people will not lean against or touch the painted surface. These are care precautions, not a guarantee against fading or a promised lifespan.
