Finding the perfect spot for a painting doesn't have to be complicated! A little attention to placement can make even a small watercolor feel like a beautiful part of your home. Here are three easy steps to help you find the right place for your 8x10 watercolor in an 11x14 frame.

1. Find a spot with good light

 Look for a wall where you can easily enjoy your painting. Natural light is lovely, but avoid direct sunlight to protect the watercolor's delicate colors.

2. Get the height right

 A good rule of thumb is to hang your painting so its center is approximately 57–60 inches from the floor. Above furniture? Leave about 6–10 inches between the furniture and the bottom of the frame.

3. Give it room to shine

 Your painting doesn't need a huge wall! Try placing it above a small table, next to a bookshelf, or in a cozy corner. You can also combine it with other artwork to create a little gallery wall.

Bonus Tip: Choose nails over adhesive strips! If you love switching your artwork around, use a small nail or picture hook instead of adhesive strips. Once the hook is in place, you can easily rotate paintings, change frames, and refresh your space whenever you feel like it!

There are no strict rules when it comes to decorating your home. Choose a spot that makes you happy every time you walk by!
