Hang canvas like a pro
 | When you choose canvas as a wall decoration , a wooden frame is used as a way of hanging. Below is an explanation of how best to do this and what you need for this. |
Necessities
To hang a canvas you need the following:
✓ Hammer
✓ Spirit level
✓ Pencil
✓ Two nails
How do you handle this?
When you hang a canvas painting , it is of course useful to know how to do this as effectively as possible. That is why we have drawn up a step-by-step plan for you so that you do not unnecessarily smash your wall.
How do you proceed?
- Choose a place in the house where you want to hang the painting. Keep in mind that it is generally assumed that the center of the work will hang at eye level.
- Mark the height with a pencil (note the 4 cm frame thickness). Now use the spirit level to mark the points.
- Drive the nails into the wall so that they protrude slightly upwards from the wall 2 cm. This leaves a supporting surface for the cloth.
- When the nails have been driven into the wall, hang the canvas so that the frame rests on the nails.
Tips for hanging a canvas
✓ Position the canvas so that it is the center of the room. When hanging, pay attention to the symmetry of the room.
✓ The colors of the canvas will fade faster when in direct contact with sunlight.
✓ When the wooden frame is exposed to humid conditions, the wood may warp.
✓ Wear gloves if necessary: canvas is a sensitive material. With cotton gloves you can prevent the painting from being damaged.
