Shotguns in a safe and a money counting machine on top? Most people don't have money counting machines at home unless they are doing something illegal.

People which have Rifles and Money Counting Machines are criminals.
And if they have a big house with pool and employees? They are from the Mafia right? What comes next? 😂

That looks like a real boss sitting on that sofa. 

Gorgeous house btw. Would love to see more photos of it.

Thank you very much!
Still not finished. Renovation is ongoing. As soon as everything is finished and all the Art proper hanged I will upload a couple pictures.

Hello forum members. I hope everyone is keeping well? I need some advice on how and where to hang artwork on the hall/stairs at our new house. Lots of wall space but not sure where to start. First piece is a fairly large D*Face, where would you hang it?

[rjf76]

Great blank canvas. Stairwells/stairs are tricky. I’ve got a double height one from new loft conversion and tricky planning and logistically hanging!!

[d.r. perseus]

All that empty wall stresses me out.

So what IRL didn’t tell you is that ‘Ruskr’ is one of his alter egos and the pics he posted are from one of his many many ‘country houses ’ ... don’t be fooled lol...

The country dwellers in rural Ireland must by law have a minimum 6 bedrooms plus a good sitting room that no one ever uses. A front door that is really the back door, as no one is allowed to go through the front door. Finally, a few acres of land to mow when the weather is nice. So they really live in the equivalent of 3 houses rolled into one. Think of all the Peckham rocks and Stiks filling up the spare rooms.

Meanwhile the townies live in a shoe box lol.

You can always move down like I did, and you get a lot more wall space for your buck

They all look great. Your house looks well set up for hanging art.

Great house, great art, but yes, I'd want to move them all a wee bit as well....

thank you! It’s something of my dream home! I’ve always loved craftsman style homes and finally found one that has all the little details that make a craftsman what it is. 

more to come - lots of wall space!

Im open to suggestions! Definitely not claiming to have all the answers. Advice welcome as long as it doesn’t involve reframing pieces

Definitely a lovely looking home and I’m another person who’s keen to see more of it when you’re happy to share. I wish you many years of happiness in your dream home.

thank you! We went from a 1300 to 4800 SF house so it’s going to be a long time before we have it fully furnished and property decked out. So many to do’s on the list it’s going to be a multi year project. I’m more of a quality over quality so I’d rather buy 1 really well made piece of furniture than 4 that won’t last. But it’s all good, I enjoy the hell out of it. I feel extremely blessed. 

I’m seriously open to any suggestions on where and how to hang the art. I’m in somewhat uncharted territory here. 

I’ll post a few more rooms once they’re sorted.

Here’s another shot of a diptych by Brandon Elijah Johnson at the end of the hallway leading into the kitchen. I love his work. Have another piece or three in the works.

I try and get equal space around the frame, or at least top and bottom,




This one I would get the top of the frame lined up with the top of the moulding around the door.



Same here, I'd line these up with the top of the moulding, probably do the same throughout the hallway

Thanks for the suggestions. I originally aligned the two works on paper with the moulding and seemed way too high up so I opted for centering them between the moulding on top and bottom. I just seemed weird to have them so far above eye level. High ceilings present something of a challenge. Looking back at them, the still life next to the front door should probably be raised to that it's at least centered between the top of the door and the moulding below. 

As for the welcome mat, I also originally hung it centered between the moulding, stood back from it and it felt too high. Sort of a battle between top of moulding and being too far above eye level. 

Easy enough to rehang a few inches up or down though, maybe I'll adjust and post some additional pics. Regardless, I appreciate the suggestions and am curious what others with high ceilings do.

Its always a bit of a juggling act to get them in the right place, but I tend to line the top up, or try and get a nice same width border round the bottom if its a big piece. 

I do have both picture rails and dado rails and they can sometimes help to centre stuff on the massive walls!

First off, amazing art on your walls. I can only imagine what's lurking some of those other rooms. That Parra canvas is a dream. Gorgeous. Who's the artist of those matching canvases in the photo above the Parra? 

I see that you're also dealing with high ceilings and crown/beaded molding throughout the house, as well as chair and picture rails. The picture rails are a nice feature and can help provide alignment guardrails. I think my biggest takeaway from your post is the idea of a "nice same width border round the bottom if it's a big piece" as this makes a lot of sense.  

Oddly, I probably would have lowered the Parra canvas ~4" - it seems slightly high to me, but you obviously know what you're doing. 

I'll make a few adjustments this weekend and post updated pics. Worst case scenario I don't like how it looks and I revert back to how they are now. 

Here are a few more shots of my place - I've got this massively long hallway to work with presents a lot of opportunity. 

Will update the thread when I make some adjustments.

Yeah I think you're right about the Parra! There was another painting there that was the right size, but swapped em round and forgot about moving the Parra down a touch!

Those two pieces are by Gosia Walton, from her first solo.

Yeah, that place is unreal, as is his collection. I'd be tempted to put a basketball half-court in the main hall, but otherwise... perfect. Saw it on The Modern House - the link is in the article, but here, many more pics; www.themodernhouse.com/sales-list/the-compound/
