Easy style tips: Create an eye-catching focal point

Put a pretty picture at eye level.

Hang a stiking picture at eye level in direct sight of a doorway to create a stylish tone.

The first thing you see when you enter a room creates a strong impression.

Make sure you don't hang your art too high. You and your guests will be craning your necks to see it.

Have a practice run by creating a template the same size as your artwork and placing it where you think you might like to hang your picture. This will give you sense of positioning for distance and height.

A great alternative to a photograph or painting is to frame a beautiful peice of fabric that compliments your room scheme.
