Framed art and canvases
Large single pieces work best on big walls, and groups of frames suit sofa and bed walls. Pick art that suits the room's palette and keep frames consistent.
Mirrors and clocks
Mirrors add light and depth, and statement clocks double as art in kitchens, dining rooms and offices. Choose sizes that suit the wall, and quiet movements for bedrooms. See wall clocks.
Shelves and ledges
Floating shelves and picture ledges let you change displays easily. Keep objects spaced, and use heavy-duty fixings for books. See shelf brackets.
Metal, wooden and textile pieces
Laser-cut metal, carved wood and woven hangings add texture, and calligraphy is popular in Pakistani homes. Place religious calligraphy at respectful heights and away from floors and bathrooms. See metal wall art.
Paint, wallpaper and lights
A feature wall in paint or wallpaper, plus picture lights or wall lights, makes simple decor stand out. Use warm light to flatter art.
Choosing by wall size and room
Fill about two thirds of the wall space above furniture, using large pieces on large walls, and groups on medium walls. Bedrooms need calm art, living rooms bolder art and kitchens practical pieces.
Arranging and hanging heights
Hang art with its centre at about 150 to 160 cm, 15 to 25 cm above furniture and use paper templates for layouts. Keep gaps of 5 to 8 cm between frames.

Before you decide
Choose pieces by wall size, hang at eye level and light them softly. Fixing and assembly should be done carefully, with wall fixings suited to the wall type and the load checked against the maker's rating. Take photos of the room, measure the wall or floor space and sketch where each item will go, then compare at least two quotes on the same list. Check finished examples if you can, and keep a note of colours and sizes so everything works together. Buy in stages if budget is tight, starting with the pieces that matter most. Measure the space and the largest item you need to fit, check the material, finish and load rating, compare at least two quotes or products on the same specification and keep the invoice and any warranty. Ask for photographs of the actual item or a sample, confirm delivery and assembly in writing and inspect the delivered piece for damage before the delivery person leaves. Prices change with material costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide, and be careful with very low prices that hide thin materials or poor finishing.
