Help to choose and hang art

Need help choosing an artwork or combining new pieces with what you already have? We have two services to help you out. Further down on this page, you'll find our video tutorials on how to group artworks, compose gallery walls and hang art.

  • 1. Free digital consultation with sketches

    Do you need help choosing an artwork or seeing how a particular piece of art will look on your wall? Based on pictures of your walls and your existing art, we put together digital sketch proposals with artworks and frames.

  • 2. Art hanging consultation at home including art worth SEK 5,000

    Do you need help hanging your art and reviewing your art as a whole, on site? Book our popular art hanging consultation in the Stockholm area! During a two-hour visit, we look at all the art you have and how it can be supplemented with at least one new work from us.

    The price is SEK 5,000 and the entire sum can be exchanged for art from ed. art. So if you’re thinking of buying an artwork from us, the visit is basically for free. We always get around to hang quite a few things during our two hours, otherwise we leave a sketch of the planned hanging. If you want us to stay longer and arrange the entire hanging, it costs SEK 1,500/hour. Invoicing takes place afterwards.

What to do:

Email us at info [@] ed-art.se:

  1. Write if you want a hanging consultation at home or a digital consultation
  2. Attach pictures of the walls you want help with
  3. Share your wishlist at ed-art.se or attach links to artworks from us - either a specific artwork you want help to test on your wall or a selection of ten artworks you like, so that we understand your taste
  4. For home visits, enter two to three suggested dates and your address. We mainly hang art on Mondays and Wednesdays.

The result – look into the homes we visited

Hanging art at Hannah Widell's

A home isn't really a home until there is art hanging on the walls. But when can you find the time to arrange it? We were given free rein to hang the art in the home of power businesswoman and influencer Hannah Widell. Here, the inherited and purchased art has stood on the floor, and there have been many spots to fill on the walls. We combined the existing art with a number of works from the ed. arts range, chosen by Hannah Widell, to create a cozy, personal, artful home.

At home with Ida Lauga

In the home of brilliant decorator Ida Lauga, the strict, abstract art is combined with the playfully figurative. We had the honour of adding some art to the walls.

Hanging art like a pro

We’ve been hanging art in hundreds of homes and thought we might share some of the lessons we’ve learnt. So we made a series of video tutorials. If you'd rather get help from a pro, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Lesson 1: Finding the height

Want to hang artworks of different sizes side by side, and still get a harmonious hanging? Leveling the top can make the artworks look like clothes on a line. Leveling the centre might be disturbing if your artworks vary a lot in size. Happily, there's a trick everyone in the arts business knows: hanging by a horizontal line at 1/3 of the artwork.

Lesson 2: The gallery wall

Combining several artworks in a group can lift an artwork, or nullify it – all depending on how it's done. Of course, it's mostly a matter of taste, but a few simple guidelines will make the job much easier.

In this video, ed. art founder Elisabeth Blennow Calälv combines 6 artworks to create a well-composed gallery wall.

Lesson 3: The gallery wall at home

Creating a neat gallery wall in a white room (like we did in Part 2) with 150 framed artworks to choose from, might not be too hard. But how do you do it at home, where there is furniture and artworks that you feel don't really fit together?

We got to come home to Josefin and Daniel, to rehang the artworks in their combined dining room/living room. To create a more dynamic arrangement than the current, we divided the artworks in two clusters and tried to create a more playful wall without making it too crazy.

Lesson 4: Art around the TV

The most common object to place on a wall, aside artworks, is probably a TV. But often, the TV ends up looking like the shining sun in the midst of the artworks/planets circling around it. How do you combine a TV with art, without the TV totally dominating the wall?

We've visited two homes and in this video try to share the process and also some of the lessons we've drawn from these visits, trying to combine art with a TV.
