1. Start with the biggest piece  Place your largest piece of art first. Pro tip: hang it slightly off-centre.

2. Vary frame styles A variety of mats and frames keeps the look eclectic.

3. Mix in objects To avoid a flat display, hang 3-D pieces like antlers, signs or display letters.

4. Use art that jolts Add interest with a piece that stands out from the others.

5. Add small artworks Build out from your big piece of art with smaller items.

6. Don’t worry about making it perfect Spacing can differ between artworks.
