How To Hang Your Picture Frames Straight Every Time


Do you love decorating but struggle to get your beautiful frames looking straight every single time?

Hanging pictures, prints, and paintings seems like it will be a simple job, but the fact is, it can be a really challenging even foseasoned decorators. 

Crooked frames won’t give you that Pinterest looking room and will ruin the overall vibe of your beautiful artwork or picture. 

Best Way To Hang Photo Frames (Step-by-Step)

1. Line up your hooks

Place a strip of masking tape across the back of the picture frame. Next, take your nail and use it to create a small hole in the tape where each hook is located. This will serve as a guide for where you need to place the nails in the wall.

Carefully remove the tape from the back of the picture frame. This will leave you with a strip of tape that has two small holes where the hooks were located.

2. Align your tape

Place the tape on the wall where you want your picture frame to go. 

Once the tape is in place, use your level to ensure that it is straight and level. Simply place the level on top of the tape and adjust it until the bubble is centred between the two lines. This will ensure that your picture frame will be perfectly straight when you hang it.

If the level shows that the tape is not straight, adjust the tape until it is.

3. Hammer in the nail

Using the marks on the tape as a guide, take your hammer and nail and drive the nail into the wall where you have previously made a hole in the tape. Once the nail is in place, carefully remove the tape from the wall.

4. Hang your frame

All that’s left to do is hang your picture frame!

Carefully lift your picture frame onto the nail and step back and enjoy.
