Here are a few factors that you have to remember while hanging your canvas photo prints , no matter whatever way you choose.

• The first thing you need to know is the measurement of your canvas and the area where you desire to hang. Also, make sure to measure the distance of your canvas spot from the ceiling, floor, and other furnishings in that space.
• Make sure to clean the area where you’ll hang your canvas with a wet cloth.
• We would recommend you hang your canvas in the midpoint to make it look aligned with everything.
• The measure should be 56 and 60 inches from the floor and 8-10 inches above a piece of furniture. Once you’re done measuring, mark that point with a pen or a pencil.
• You’ll get the stick-on wall pads at any hardware store to prevent the wall from scratches and stains.

• Next, place the bracket where you marked on the canvas as well as the wall.
• Start with screwing one side of the bracket and then gradually the other.
• Lastly, check if the screws are tightly planted.

2. Nails

If you own small or medium canvases, then nails work the best. Brass and steel nails would be the best choice because they don’t damage the walls.

• Go closer to the wall and mark the area with a pencil.
• Hammer the nail into the wall on the mark.
• Leave half an inch of nail out of the wall to hand the canvas.
• Lastly, hang the canvas on the pin.

3. J-hooks

J-hooks are available in various sizes and are an ideal solution for hanging larger or broader canvases. They are installed on the wall using nails. Smaller ones need one nail, whereas bigger ones need two nails. Use the tools and equipment accordingly based on whatever you feel will provide stability to your canvas prints. Here’s how to do it.

• Starting with marking the wall according to your canvas size.
• Once you do that, you’ll know the count and size of hooks you will require for your canvas.
• Next, proceed with placing your J-hook on the mark and hammer the nails along with the hooks.
• Lastly, check if the hooks you hammered are perfectly aligned and will not make the canvas look crooked.

4. Eye hooks
