I have three different sized paintings I want to hang down one side of a 14 mtr hallway with 12 ft ceiling. I have a long row of smaller pictures hanging on the opposite wall all parallel and spaced evenly from and to each other. The three paintings all have the same frame style but are different sizes. Two will hang landscape style and the other portrait style. My question is: How should I hang the pictures in relation to the picture rail? Should they all be the same distance from beneath the rail to the top of the frame? Or should the centre of each painting be in line irrespective of the top of the frame? I would normally hang them the second way, but as the opposite wall is very neat and symmetrical, I am thinking the larger art needs to also be in-line??? Please help! Thank you »

What Houzz contributors are saying:
...Well, unless it's a child's room. Tip: It's easier to use a bold color on your walls when much of said walls are covered with artwork and built-ins.
added by Lily Gahagan to Inspired by Nature: Purple and Green
You can also up the warmth by veering towards a green with more yellowish tones, as seen here, or a purple with a redder base.
added by Shawn Gauthier to 14 Ways to Add Ceiling Style
For an easy ceiling upgrade that you can start and finish in a weekend, simply paint the ceiling a color complementary to the room’s decor. This yellow ceiling does wonders for these purple walls.
added by Shawn Gauthier to Kid Spaces: Making Room for the Brood
Halls. Think your hallway or stairway landing need be typical? Not when you need the space! Turn it into a reading nook or play space for the kids.
added by Kelly Porter to Great Ideas for Painted Ceilings
Using multiple colors in a child's room is essential for fostering creativity and imagination. I love how this sunny yellow ceiling complements the violet wall color.

2. Wipe down books and dust the bookshelves. A microfiber cloth makes for a great duster because it traps and removes dust instead of spreading it around. Take out every book and dust every nook and cranny. Wipe down each book, especially your child's well-thumbed copies, which almost always have remnants of their afternoon snacks lodged in between pages.

These bookcases have the look I want on the far wall, with mirrors above to reflect the windows in the kitchen. Of course, the bookshelves must be arranged nicely, not filled like this with just books.
