We sincerely hope that you are enjoying your Verve Portraits artwork, and that by now your experience of the day is one you look back on with fondness.  

Thank you for sharing this special time with us, we know that these memories will last a lifetime for you and your loved ones. At the heart of everything we do, is a passion for people and telling their stories, so thank you for entrusting us with the honour of telling yours. 

Now that your artwork has arrived safely, we want to share some further advice and helpful information that we know will be of benefit. From taking care of your pieces, to how to hang them perfectly in your home, we’ve got you covered. 

When it comes to hanging and displaying artwork, there are a few technical tips that can help you to hang it like a professional. We’ve shared all of our tips with you to help make this process easy!

We encourage our guests to display their artwork in rooms that they spend most of their time in together. Ideally, choose spaces such as the lounge, dining room or even the kitchen. It will warm up your space and allow you to see and reflect upon your memories of this time spent together each and every day. 

For those with young ones, there are even many studies showing the effect on children who have family imagery on the walls in the home. We have written a blog piece all about it, which you can read here.

The height you hang your artwork depends a lot on the height of the ceilings in your home. When it comes to height, firstly, the imagery should be hung slightly above eye level. If you stand back from the artwork and your eyes meet the bottom third of the image, this is a good guide to work from. 

Consider the distance between your frames and other artworks to avoid ‘crowding’. Try to avoid hanging frames next to or near door frames, unless they are centred between two doors, or windows.

We have created some short video tutorials on how to hang your artwork, which you can find here. Please note that if you have plaster walls and heavy artwork, you will need to use 'Wall Mates' for extra support. You can find these at most hardware stores.
