Multiple pictures arranged and hung as a cohesive gallery wall. We layout the arrangement, get your approval, then hang everything level with even spacing throughout.
### The Gallery Wall Effect
One picture is decoration. **Multiple pictures arranged well? That's design.** But getting 6, 8, or 12 pictures evenly spaced and level is genuinely hard on your own.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The secret to professional gallery walls isn't the pictures - it's the gaps. Equal spacing between frames makes a random collection look intentional. Wonky gaps make expensive artwork look like a rushed DIY job.

### Why DIY Gallery Walls Often Fail
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Layout planned on floor first | Started drilling and hoped for the best | | Gaps measured and consistent | "Looks about even" | | Centre point or baseline aligned | Each picture individually eyeballed | | All fixings appropriate for weight | Whatever hooks were in the drawer |
**Common layouts:** - **Grid arrangement** - all frames same size, perfect rows and columns - **Salon style** - mixed sizes, organic feel, evenly spaced - **Horizontal line** - different sizes but aligned top/centre/bottom - **Staircase follow** - ascending the wall with the stairs

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Not sure about arrangement?** We can try a few layouts on the floor before committing. I've done hundreds of gallery walls - happy to suggest what usually works well. **Staircase walls?** These need careful measuring because the wall's at an angle. The pictures should follow the stairs at a consistent distance from the handrail (or stair line), not the floor. **Mix of heavy and light?** Each picture gets fixings appropriate for its weight. Heavy frames get proper anchors, light ones can use simpler fixings - all invisible behind the frames. **Want to add more later?** I'll note the spacing we used so if you get more pictures later, you can extend the arrangement keeping the same gaps.
Frequently Asked Questions about Picture hanging multiple in Ottery St Mary
Do I need to know exactly how I want them arranged?
Not at all - that's half the service. We can lay everything out on the floor first, try different arrangements, and get your approval before anything goes on the wall. Most people have a rough idea but benefit from seeing options.
How many pictures counts as 'multiple'?
Usually 4 or more pictures being arranged together as a gallery wall or collection. For 1-3 pictures, the regular single picture hanging service works fine.
What if the pictures are all different sizes?
That's actually more common - mixing sizes looks great if spaced properly. We arrange them so the overall shape works, keep the gaps even, and make sure sight lines make sense. It's more about the overall composition than matching frames.
Can you hang pictures up a staircase?
Yes - staircase galleries are popular but tricky to get right because the wall's at an angle. The key is keeping the pictures at a consistent distance from the stairs (not the floor), which needs proper measuring.
How long does a gallery wall take?
Depends on how many pictures and how complex the arrangement. A 6-picture gallery wall usually takes 1.5-2 hours including layout. A full wall with 12+ pictures might take 3 hours. I'll give you an estimate once I know what we're working with.
