What are your best tips for selecting and hanging frames?
"Many works of art will come framed as the artist intended — you shouldn't change that. And many photographs are mounted in specific ways, as well. However, if you need to frame works like prints and some photos, just pick a simple style and stick with it. That way, your collection has a consistent look that doesn't distract from the art itself. For example, I frame everything with white wood.

As for hanging art, there is a formula. You basically want to keep things at eye level, generally 58 to 60 inches from the ground. However, you may need to adjust that based on where your furniture is placed. Whatever you do, just try to keep things at a consistent height, and try to leave enough space around each piece so that it gets the attention it deserves."
